1. The written word - especially in ink and paper physical form - just doesn't draw like it once did. Facts are facts. Instead of hiding its head in the sand and pretending this isn't the case, the Tacoma Public Library has been taking matters into its own hands - scheduling a multitude of fun and multi-sensory entertainment options at libraries all over town. Thursday, comedian Bill Robison - known for his physical antics - makes an appearance at the Wheelock Library at 11 a.m.

2. The name of the show is Under Pink Skies, but the skies above the lush and colorful foliage in the Nina Weiss landscapes at Mavi Contemporary Art are orange and lavender and a steely blue-gray - not just pink. Check out the show from 2-7 p.m. Read Weekly Volcano art critic Alec Clayton's review of the show here.

3. Not so long ago, "women's bike" strictly referred to step-through frames. Times have changed. Bicycle manufacturer Giant will show women their latest road, mountain and cyclocross models from 2-8 p.m. at Tacoma Bike. To demo a bike, bring your helmet, shoes, pedals, driver's license and credit card.

4. Comedian Craig Gass is no stranger to the Northwest, so it's not terribly surprising to see him scheduled to throw down the laughs Thursday at The Royal Lounge in Olympia at 9 p.m. Well-known from Stern and countless TV appearances, not to mention an incredible knack for impersonations, Gass was raised by deaf parents and has a deaf sister, so he grew up imitating the voices he heard on television. Seems to have paid off. Dude's funny.

5. Tacoma's annual Out in the Park gay pride festival hits Wright Park is coming Saturday, July 9 to Ninth and Broadway downtown. That's too long of a wait for gay-friendly bar The Mix. They're hosting a pre-pride bash called Rainbows Over St. Helens at 9 p.m. featuring DJ Excellent, special performances and Bois in underwear - hosted by the fab Miss Gay Washington 2011-2012 Taylor London Couture.
