The Weekly Volcano has nothing against www.myspace.com/firstnighttacoma ">Tacoma's First Night fete â€" except that it's really the Last Night, but what do mere semantics have to do with it?

The New Year’s Eve celebration consuming Broadway in downtown Tacoma needs scads of volunteer rogues in a wide array of functions, such as venue greeters, ushers, festival rovers, parade organizers, and tech heads.

The lovely First Night brain trust will hold a volunteer orientation Sunday, Oct. 14 at King’s Books.  No pre-registration is needed for the 3 p.m. meeting.

For more details, contact sweet pea at King’s Books.  He knows stuff. â€" Suzy Stump
