1. Olympia's Elizabeth Lord brings back Smoking Is Cool tonight, and spreads the hilarity through Sunday with performances each night at the Midnight Sun. Find details here.
2. Seasons Grey will rock Hell's Kitchen tonight. Expect facial hair. If you shaved this morning, perhaps you'd be better served by browsing the Volcano's extensive live local music calendar.
3. Phil Slater visits Oscar's Restaurant & Lounge on Hosmer.
4. Write stuff? Wanna share the stuff you write with other people who write stuff? OK, good. Check out the "Writers' Round Table" tonight at Barnes & Noble in Olympia. Or, if you detest the written word, perhaps a browse through the Volcano's comprehensive Viva South Sound Arts & Entertainment Calendar would do you well.
5. Vote for Tacoma's best baristas, politicians, bloggers, bartenders and local businesses in the only 253 "Best Of" issue that matters. The Volcano's annual Best of Tacoma issue publishes July 28, and this year's readers' poll launched last week. Let your vote be heard now! Find all the details here.
