SATURDAY, DEC. 18 >>>

1. There's a sweet all-ages show today at Rocket Records on Tacoma's Sixth Ave featuring Rooftop Warrior. As long as you dig rock, this should be one all ages can enjoy.

2. Check out the Click! family flick this morning at the Grand Cinema in Tacoma - a free screening of A Christmas Story. Will Ralphie shoot his eye out this year? Find out in style, not just sitting on your couch watching TBS.

3. The Nightgowns play tonight at the New Frontier. Anyone paying attention knows this will be awesome.

4. Like bikes? Like booze? Check out this hot piece of action - the Troll Crank Holly Jolly Bicycle Booze Cruise.

5. Spend time checking out photos from the Third Thursday Art Bus - which was in full effect this week. Pay special attention to Buddy the elf. He looks much like Volcano publisher Ron Swarner, no? Surely just a coincidence ...
