THIRD THURSDAY ART BUS IS MY FAVORITE >>>

I think the biggest bad thing on holiday cheer is grown-uphood. Whether it's because of the smartypants thing that makes having a gloomy outlook a good thing or that if-you-only-knew-what-I've-been-through thing, your adult self cannot turn on glee the way your child self used to.

If that's you then you sit on a throne of sadness.

Banish the grown-up. Admit you like holiday sing-alongs, and Santa hats and fake snow and combing all of those neat things on a bus touring Tacoma's Third Thursday Artwalk. I'm the Art Bus tour guide this Thursday and we're going to have fun. We're gonna sing on the bus and at Two Five Trees and at the former Luzon Building with music guys Doug Mackey and Evan Purcell. Did I tell you Doug and Evan are my favorites? Well, they are.

One of the stops will be at Fulcrum Gallery in a magical place called Hilltop Tacoma. A man called Oliver owns Fulcrum. He says he's bringing back a studio sale called One Off's B-Sides & Studio Gems the night of the bus tour so we can see local art and crafts made by local artists such as Trevor Dickson, Mindy Barker, Zoe Johnson, Sean Alexander and Jeremy Gregory. Jeremy Gregory is like having two first names. 

Good news. I saw a cat today.

Also, Fulcrum Gallery still has the wonderful Shuffle show up. A man named Alec Clayton loves this show.

I asked Oliver what Fulcrum wants from Santa. He said, "a new roof." Oliver sounds like a funny man.

So, OK, the bus is $10 to ride and it's going to be super fun. Sign up here. I'll have gifts for you. Seriously.
