STEPH DEROSA: POINT DEFIANCE MUSIC FESTIVAL >>>

Matt Driscoll and I split the emcee duties on the Weekly Volcano Rock Stage last Saturday at the Point Defiance Music Festival. I had to take the morning shift seeing as how Matt had his sperm donation appointment that morning. I know what you’re thinking, “Oh, great, just what Tacoma needs â€" more Driscoll in the gene pool.” Don’t fret, my friends, his donations are specifically used for scientific research in order to study the effects of drugs on a man’s reproductive system. So I suppose I’m fine with that.

As usual, I had Bandito Betty in tow for the music fest, and we hooked up with our other favorite rebel rouser, The KAke. Lunch approached and there was no doubt in my mind that we had to hit up Don’s Market for a cold sandwich. They make a mighty fine ham and cheese like mom used to make, and their old fashioned soda fountain is incomparable. Pick between any of their 15-or-so syrup flavors, and they’ll mix it up for you â€" fresh co2 and all.

Oh, since this IS Toilet Tales, I better mention Don’s bathroom. Read about its outhouse and more on the festival here.
