Good for the soul

ANNOUNCER: Remember the amazing soul food in the back room at Lincoln Bowl Lanes? The folks who served those heaping dishes of Southern comfort have moved out on their own. Thurmond Brokenbrough and his wife, Linda, ran Uncle Thurms Soul Food inside Lincoln Bowl before moving a year and a

Stage

Odd creation

I guess it’s only natural that the Paramount would want to stage a pre-Broadway show since its crosstown rival, Fifth Avenue, did so well with the show “Hairspray” a few years back. In fact, “Hairspray” not only went on to the Great White Way, receiving a few statues along the

Music

The gang's all here

A reunion of sorts is brewing in Tacoma. The old gang from Victory Music’s hey day will gather once again to share music, memories and renewed friendship. This will be a very special open mic where only those who played at one of the Victory Music open mics (at Antique

A Love Letter to Tacoma

The two self-titled guerrilla artists behind the thought-provoking posters spotted around Tacoma aren’t what you might expect.  Describing himself and his partner in the “slightly illegal” undertaking that is Beautiful Angle, Tom Llewellyn says, “We’re not twenty-something taggers; we’re forty-year-old fathers.” And their families are involved in

Love, love, and chocolate

Leave that box of chocolates to Forrest Gump to give out for Valentine’s Day — He was a simpleton, and you’re not.  Being the savvy T-town shopper you are, you know the best ways to give that most decadent of treats synonymous with love.  Or maybe you don’t,

Three divas in the house

When three tenors get together, there’s a butt-slapping bravado going on that smells an awful lot like a men’s locker room full of sweat and testosterone. Get together three divas, individually incomparable singers of great accomplishment, and you’d probably have something like rapier-sharpened nails and French perfume. Put

A taste of Sorrento in Olympia

The intense emotion of an operatic aria occupies the space aurally while the strong aromas of Italian cuisine fill it spatially. In the middle of this intensity, I enjoy the best Caesar salad of my entire life at Sorrento Ristorante Italiano (430 Legion Way, Olympia, (360) 352-9915), appreciating the intricacies

The incredible Carmen

This week my fate has officially been sealed — and it’s on wheels, four per foot. In December I scored a spot on the Dockyard Derby Dames, Tacoma’s very own all-girl, flat track Roller Derby league. Amidst my already overbooked schedule, I’ve been training like crazy, up to three nights of

Tale of two Carmens

Two Sarahs arrive in Tacoma this weekend with a mighty tough assignment: trying to capture one of the greatest icons of female sexuality ever created — Carmen. Massachusetts native Sarah Heltzel, who spent the last two seasons with Seattle Opera’s Young Artist Program, performed her first Carmen this fall at Skagit

Music picks of the week

Thursday POP the lund bros. It’s one thing to have one musically inclined child, but two? Good genes I suppose.  In the tradition of Oasis and the Kinks, the Lund Bros. are considered the kings of pop in their hometown of Tacoma.  With catchy guitar hooks, poppy rhythms, and in sync harmonies,

Old School Drop Out

They describe their music as “modern hard-rock melodies with a few old school headbangers sprinkled in.” Old School Drop Out is not a band that caters to people who would be just as happy with a jukebox. They don't take quarters for song requests. They stake their territory as a

What’s Josh Carter wearing?

Sitting in the lobby of the Sheraton Tacoma Hotel as Wintergrass swirled around him, Josh Carter looked conspicuously non-banjoesque and took some time to describe elements of his look for the Weekly Volcano. The fabulously zebra Guess? pants were found at urbanXchange, several sizes too large.  Carter’s girlfriend (coincidentally last week’s
