ART
Lovin’ Lino
The Museum of Glass welcomes Italian glass master Lino Tagliapietra to its Visiting Artist residency showcasing the legitimate side of Boot culture. Tagliapietra, 72, has been kicking glass since the age of 11 in Murano, Italy. At age 21, he earned the title of maestro.  I’m thrilled he’s back to teach us (well, not me) more.  He’s in the Hot Shop through June 15. â€" Suzy Stump
[Museum of Glass, through June 15, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, $4-$10, 1801 Dock St., Tacoma, 253.396.1768]

ROCK
Dirty Knockers
The Top of Tacoma is hosting a free rock show with the Dirty Knockers, Tough Times and And Those Who Were Dragged, and you can bet that I'll be raising the glass(es) in happiness, appreciation and metal.

I got to celebrate Brian Redman's birthday at Masa last Sunday. He's from Doyle's Public House and the Dirty Knockers band. If you haven't seen Brian's band play, let me just say that the Dirty Knockers and their music are so hot that they give girls underwear surprises, or maybe I should just speak for my own panties.

Naturally, that's why I'll be at the Top tonight for this sweet show that's arriving just in time for the comfortable cerebral numbing that I really need. â€" Carmen Jones
