MUSIC: (Taken from a comment posted to www.weeklyvolcano.com from one of our fantastic readers) La Fontina's at 2620 North Proctor is hosting Malcolm Clark acoustic/solo in the lounge at 9pm . (La Fontina’s is a)very nice restaurant with an upscale bar.

If Malcolm Clark aint your bag, Bobble Tiki recommends catching the second sexy night of Tab Benoits double T-town engagement at Jazzbones. Last night was hot. Tonight should be even hotter.

Tab Benoit, on the other hand, is the pure definition of sexy â€" at least according to Mrs. Tiki, who swoons and drools for days every time she sees the world renowned blues guitarist do his thing in Tacoma. This Friday and Saturday at Jazzbones, she’ll get two more chances to do just that â€" and something tells Bobble Tiki he’ll be hearing about it for a long time. Two shows with Tab Benoit in Tacoma may be enough to drive Mrs. Tiki completely wild with lust.

Breakfast with Bobble Tiki runs six days a week now. Deal with it.
