Wednesday, Dec. 31: New Year's Eve

Yeah, right, like you need the Weekly Volcano Wednesday tonight. However, there's that thing you told yourself you were going to investigate or learn about or take a class to study further, and yet you've never really gotten around to it. Oh sure, you bought that book two years ago

It's winter (duh!) and Green Thumbs have a bad case of Seasonal Affective Disorder. For these folks, artificial won't do; it's just a countdown to spring. Ah, but there are a few plants that flourish indoors during the cold months to keep Green Thumbs smiling - and they're not plastic. Green

Monday, Jan. 5: James Coates

Club hopping can be overrated, especially when the weather is a snarling blast of rain and cold that makes one think twice about even leaving the couch. Some nights we like to stake out a place at a venue and hang out for a while, maybe have a meal, a

Tuesday, Jan. 6: Relax, Recoup, Renew!

How was your holiday? (This is the part where you say, "How was your holiday, Weekly Volcano?") Awesome, thanks. So, we're staring 2015 right in the face. Some of us have proclaimed we'll take better care of ourselves in 2015. Some of us are anticipating a new year of wellness.

Wednesday, Jan. 7: What Possessed Mary Shelley?

Give 19-year-old Mary Shelley credit for dreaming up a world-altering idea and single-handedly concocting the genre of science fiction. Frankenstein was regarded as Gothic sensationalism when first published - a lurid tale of a scientist driven mad by his obsession to animate the dead. It has earned the status of

Wednesday, Dec. 24: Community Christmas Eve Candle Lighting

For Christians the world over, Christmas Eve means being trapped for endless hours with the family while listening to Hall and Oates sing Christmas carols. But for everyone else, Christmas Eve is a pony of an entirely different hue. People of all faiths and no faith are invited to celebrate Christmas

You know you're already humming "If I Were a Rich Man" in your head. If you aren't, we are. Once again, Olympia's Capitol Theater screens the classic musical film Fiddler on the Roof Christmas day. But beyond simply watching, you will be immersed in the total If-I-Were-A-Rich-Man experience - you

For 12 freakin' years in a row - never wavering - the Randy Oxford Band has encouraged (hell, inspired!) you to get out of the house the night after Christmas and shake some of the tinsel and stuffing off. It's known as the "Night After Christmas Dance Party."  The gist

Sunday, Dec. 28: Stickshift Annie and The Fugitives

Does Stickshift Annie and The Fugitives really need an introduction? Is there a more professional band? Is there a more respected one?

Monday, Dec. 29: Maria Joyner-Wulf

It's been awhile since we last stumbled into Rhythm and Rye for its Monday night Jazz Lounge Series, mainly because we're leading a lifestyle that discourages partying on days that don't begin with an F or an S. There are, however, many folks whose responsibilities don't begin until late in
