SUZY STUMP: HIP-HOP MEETS BODY PAINTING >>>

Do you consider yourself young, open-minded and hip? Are you a card-carrying member of this demographic? Do you want to be? If so, here's a little tip: Pacific Fusion's October Music Series kicks off tomorrow night at Jazzbones. Beginning at 10 p.m., cocktails, sushi, hip-hop from T-town cats Life Cycle, Can-U, John Crown and DJ Reign, and live body painting will blow your mind, and your brain. Pacific Fusion's president Matt Eklund knows a thing or two about blowing your mind with music and art. The dude is one of the masterminds behind Tacoma's Urban Art Festival.

Why am I explaining this? You are a young, open-minded, hip individual. You already know this.

[Jazzbones, Friday, Oct. 3, $5 before 10 p.m., $8 after, 2803 Sixth Ave., Tacoma]
