WEDNESDAY, DEC. 15 >>>

1. There is no party like a Bill of Rights party ‘cuz a Bill of Rights party don't stop! What!?! What!?!  Put your hands in the air y'all! Now scream! OK, now get ready for the screening of This is What Democracy Looks Like, an uber-worthy documentary about the WTO protests in Seattle. It's the Bill of Rights Party at King's Books tonight.

2. Check out some talented people (never mind the fact they're mere children) tonight at Beyond the Bridge Café when the SOTA Songwriters Showcase Concert amazes all comers.

3. The 4 Tissimos Saxophone Quartet does its ragtime thing at the Mandolin Café today.

4. Like coffee? Like songwriters, poets and/or activists? Well, then, check out the legendary Jim Page today at A Rhapsody in Bloom Florist and Café Latte. All ages, and starts at 7 p.m.

5. Tacoma's Hilltop will be hoppin' tonight when the always-fantastic Maurice The Fish Records Showcase takes hold once again at Tempest Lounge. Expect no cover and an eclectic evening of fun and drinks.
