Ladies and gentlemen, can we please have your attention. We have just been handed an urgent and terrific news story. We need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen.

The Weekly Volcano won the 2007 AMOCAT Arts Patron award!

That’s right, we are very important. We also have many leather-bound books and our South Sound office smells of rich mahogany.

The Weekly Volcano would like to thank Tacoma Arts Commission  for the prestigious award.  After publishing 306 issues we have realized â€" You like us.  You really like us.

The official announcement will hit the universe soon.  We can’t wait to receive our major award Nov. 2 at the Museum of Glass. â€" Suzy Stump
