TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011 >>>

1. The Perry Acker band will bring rock, pop and jam fusion to Gig Harbor's Skansie Brothers Park from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

2. The Tacoma Food Co-Op is all about bringing a grocery store and community space dedicated to local, natural, organic, allergen-free, affordable and sustainable food to the corner of Sixth and Junett. They're also about partying. From 6-9 p.m. they'll tip wine and coffee, shuttling back and forth between Bluebeard Coffee and Cork Wine Bar - at the corner of State and Sixth - to raise funds for the new store. Do it.

3. Whatever the reason for plant-based dining, you may need some inspiration to cook up a variety of tasty dishes. The Vegan Book Club meets at 7 p.m. inside King's Books to discuss The World Peace Diet by Will Tuttle.

4. We had no idea our graphic artist Holland Hume was a geek. Apparently he's the quizmaster for the new Tuesday night Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz at Paddy Coyne's, which begins at 8 p.m. For specifics on how to play the game, check out the little ditty we wrote on the Ram's version, which has moved to Thursday nights.

5. Lady Luck's Cowgirl Up Steakhouse and Saloon in Parkland hosts Twisted Tuesdays featuring DJ Atom Ant spinning the Top 40/karaoke thing at 9 p.m.
