TUESDAY, AUG. 16, 2011 >>>
1. Watching good movies that you've never seen before and that you otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to see in the area is fun. The Grand Cinema in Tacoma is hip this fact - and it's just one of the reason's the indie film house's new Tuesday Film Series is such a kickass idea. The plan is to offer an awesome film (new or classic) every Tuesday for a year, with two screenings each Tuesday - afternoon and evening. This week catch Certified Copy.
2. Wanna see dude's dressed like Elvis? Who doesn't? Lucky for everyone "The King's Memorial featuring Danny Vernon's Illusions of Elvis" goes down tonight at Emerald Queen Casino.
3. Catch the Fun Addicts at Skansie Brothers Park tonight at 6 p.m., part of the Gig Harbor Summer Sounds at Skansie Park series.
4. Drop in on live, traditional Irish music tonight at O'Blarney's on the edge of Olympia. It goes by the heading Irish Sessions, and it happens every Wednesday at the green-tinted watering hole.
5. Like to drink? Think you know stuff? Test your skills tonight at Paddy Coyne's when Quizmaster Holland Hume leads the troops through Geeks Who Drink Quiz Night. The fun starts at 8 p.m.
