3. What do you get when you mix Japanese marimba and Colombian quena? Our first guess was teriyaki nachos, but we're being told the answer is: Magic! Classical Tuesdays in Old Town with The Miho & Diego Duo atSlavonian Hall, 2301 N. 30th Street in Old Town Tacoma. Free.
4. Feeling talented or not, The Antique Sandwich Company hosts an open mic night every Tuesday. Sign-ups begin at 6 p.m., and the reality of whether or not anyone will clap for you starts at 7 p.m. 5102 N. Pearl Street, Tacoma
5. "Battle Malbec" at Pour At Four. Six Malbecs from Argentina, all at the $10.00 price point. Should be a great tasting to find your type of Malbec.
