SUZY STUMP: 5 THINGS TO DO TODAY >>>
1 P.M.: The National Association of Office and Industrial Properties will hold a boat tour of the Port of Tacoma on today at 1129 Dock St., Gate No. 8. The tour is from 1 to 4 p.m. Participants will get insight into the port’s future plans for development and see terminal operations. Space is limited. Climb aboard here.
5:30 P.M.: First things first. I only throw strikes by accident, and I spend my fair share of time in the gutter. Still, I really love to go bowling with friends. The crew and I plan on attending Project:U’s Pins 4 Pens strikefest and school supply drive tonight at Narrows Plaza Bowl. No, the drink specials are not the draw. Actually, neither is the bowling. Money raised will help needy kids stock up on school supplies. Keep score here.
7 P.M.: Over at O’Blarney’s Irish Pub the powers that be think, at least on Thursday nights, that playing darts, shooting pool and drinking all at the same time isn’t enough of a challenge. So they add that old staple to the mix â€" the pub quiz. Prime topics include those bar faves entertainment and sports.
9 P.M.: San Francisco’s the Bar Feeders and Portland’s Lopez â€" two of the drunkest and rowdiest punk bands you’ll ever find â€" are set to play Hell’s Kitchen tonight. Joining them will be fellow Bay Area punk rockers Triclops and Kitsap boys The Enemies Of. All in all, it should be enough to inspire at least a few calls in sick tomorrow morning â€" at least from those in attendance who are employed in the first place.
9 P.M.: Slo Poke aka SP, a veteran on the mic and The Source Magazine’s Unsigned Hype for January 2008 has his highly anticipated sophomore release, The Appreciation Of… in stores. Check him out tonight at The Royal Lounge in Olympia. More details in our new hip-hop column.
