5 Things To Do: Monday

MICHAEL SWAN: MONDAY, MAY 25, 2009 >>>

Memorial-Day 1. For details on Memorial Day ceremonies in the South Sound, check out the Memorial Day Command Center.

2. The 9th Northwest Biennial at Tacoma Art Museum is one of the more impressive biennials they’ve had, with a wide range of very intriguing art. The show closes today. Read the full review here.

3. The Grand Cinema screens Sin Nombre, the interlocking stories of a young woman from Honduras and a young man from southern Mexico, who meet while riding on the roof of a freight car on their long journey to the U.S. border.  The trip is forged in hell, but the film also finds room for beauty and romance.  Show times are 4:15 and 9:10 p.m.

4. DJ Jason Diamond spins roots reggae during The New Frontier Lounge's Rebel Monday at 9 p.m.

5. DJ Doll Hands spins vintage lady country music at The Brotherhood Lounge around 9 p.m.

Red, white & blue waffle

MICHAEL SWAN: BREAKFAST SPECIAL >>>

The Harvester Restaurant in Tacoma's Stadium District offers a red, white & blue waffle breakfast special today. Due to gummy compotes instead of fresh fruit, it looks better than it tastes.

Plata Pussies take title

RON SWARNER: ROCK  ‘N’ ROLL BOWLING TOURNAMENT >>>

I tried describing first annual Hell’s Kitchen Rock ‘n’ Roll Bowling tournament held Saturday at Pacific Lanes in Tacoma but it came out looking like a C student’s four-page term paper on alcoholism.  So instead of going into detail on every single thing that happened, I’ll post the winner’s photo and call it good.

Rock N Roll Bowling The Plata Pussies won the thing dipping heavily into the handicap system in order to pull it off. Congratulations to Rob Wheeler, Devin Culhane, Trivia Sayler-Koehn (with child) and Terrance Koehn.
