JOE MALIK: SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA >>>

I heard last week that the Liquor Control Board (LCB) and Tacoma PD worked together to shut down a party thrown by a group of under/overground show organizers. These folks throw some of the best arts events in Tacoma - consistently and proudly.

From a legal standpoint, it sounds like everything happened by the books. The proverbial state knows what it can and can't get away with. There probably won't be a lawsuit. And there will probably be more underground shows like the one that got shut down.

Let's just move on, shall we?

No.
