MATT DRISCOLL: BUT HE BOOKS WORTHY SHOWS AT JAZZBONES >>>

This week I was swamped. I'm no horn tooter, but with Pappi Swarner drinking umbrella drinks in Maui and a cover story to write on Tuesday's historic election, I had a lot on my plate- to say the least. Sometimes, being the child of the '90s I am- when there's a lot on my plate I look to cut corners. That's why I had that "slacker" T-shirt. I meant it.

I guess you could call this week's column a cut corner.

There's not much easier way for a journalist to generate content than the e-mail interview. You just send questions off into the ether, and they magically come back answered. Then with a simple cut and paste you've got a column.

Thank you very much.

There's also not much crazier a fellow in Tacoma than Jazzbones' Sean Culver. If you know Jazzbones, you know Culver- probably because he's gotten drunk and talked your ear off about communism or bummed a ride to his mom's house from you. He's been working his way up the Jazzbones food chain, and after starting as the guy tasked with effeminately answering the phone, Culver now is in charge of all Jazzbones booking duties.

If there's one guy in Tacoma worthy of the e-mail interview, it's Sean Culver.

Luckily, tonight at Jazzbones there's a show worth talking about. Tacoma's favorite little barefooted, singing, songwriting, dynamo Vicci Martinez- along with Katie Gray and Olivia De La Cruz- will be laying it down at an early all-ages performance. Proceeds will go toward an unusual and worthy cause.
