1. Billed as an "interactive celebration and creative exercise in commemoration of Tacoma Art Museum's 75th Anniversary," the Mighty Tacoma show features digital portraits by Tacoma-based artists that will be projected in the gallery and posted on the museum website. The show will includes a photographic survey of the city's neighborhoods, families at the museum, community groups and businesses. Drop by and see this mighty show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

2. It's the final day of the Tacoma Holiday Food & Gift Festival, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more details, and how to prepare for this final day, check The Prefunk.

3. King's Books hosts the fourth annual Anarchist Bookfair -  billed as a "revolutionary gathering for anyone interested in or curious about anarchy" - from noon to 7 p.m. Want to know how to live in harmony without the oppressive weight of the state bearing down on you? Here's your starting point.

4. Ikebana Society presents the Northwest Sakura chapter's "Annual Flower Exhibit" from noon to 4 p.m. inside the Washington Floral Service at 2701 S. 35th St. in Tacoma.

5. Now, you listen here, hombre. You and me, we done rode through all that "talk like a pirate" bosh, but all that balled-up palaver didn't hold a candle to talkin' like a cowboy. And you might think such frontier lingo wouldn't rightly fit into the flannel-mouthed Elizabethan purty-talk of one Wm. Shakespeare, but that just goes to show you ain't no feller to ride down the river with, so you just hobble your lip. Harlequin Productions buckaroo Scot Whitney at 2 p.m. done nailed that to the counter. His production of The Taming of the Shrew cuts a swell, and that's the real Simon Pure.
