MATT DRISCOLL: CITY CLUB OF TACOMA TO HONOR THE WEEKLY VOLCANO, YO >>>

City-Club

The City Club of Tacoma â€" turns out it’s not just about somewhat uptight business lunches and the exchanging of cards. Sometimes it’s about handing out muthafucking awards, and on Wednesday, Oct. 7 the Weekly Volcano is getting one, beeeotch! As part of the City Club’s All Together Now 25-year celebration at the Washington State History Museum, 25 “community partners” will be honored, which includes Broadway Center, Emergency Food Network, Goodwill Industries, Grand Cinema, KPLU, Tacoma Art Museum, Washington State History Museum and University of Washington-Tacoma.

According to the press release, these “community partners consistently represent the best of our community’s effort in arts, social services, education, publications, and diversity.”

The 25 theme makes sense, since, according to the aforementioned press release, the City Club of Tacoma is celebrating “25 years of exploring community issues and providing the venue for important conversations about Tacoma and the world we live in.”

Hey, we’ll take an award any way we can get one.

Here’s my prediction of what will go down that night: The Weekly Volcano’s acceptance speech will be interrupted by Kanye West. Later, Bill Baarsma will call Kanye a jackass.
