SUNDAY, DEC. 5 >>>
1. They're still going strong, and still swarming The Swiss to do good, get loaded, raffle shit off, and enjoy the spirit of the season. The Friends of the Holidays benefit is tonight at The Swiss, and the T-Town institution shouldn't disappoint: Mercedes Nicole, the Malcolm Clark Band, Fingertips, the Randy Oxford Band and Junkyard Jane will all be doing their part for kids and families this year. Will you?
2. Swampy, electric and bluesy, with a bad-ass junkyard feel, Portland's Hillstomp has it. Tonight, Hillstomp will be at the Spar in Old Town Tacoma.
3. It's the season for shopping - but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Today, check out JuNkTaStIc SuNdAy at Studio 6 Ballroom - an indoor market offering
"a little bit of this and that." It's sure to be awesome. If you happen to miss it this week, it'll be back on the 12th and 19th as well.
4. Did you miss Rich Wetzel's Big Band Christmas show yesterday at Tacoma Community College? Never fear. The crew-cut, trumpeting one is back at Stonegate tonight - a show not to miss.
5. Check out the open mic at Mandolin Café this afternoon with Denny Foreman and Friends.
