TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 2011 >>>

1. Join quizmaster Holland Hume tonight at Paddy Coyne's in Tacoma for the every-Tuesday Geeks Who Drink Quiz Night. It's awesome.

2. Boz Scaggs has the coolest name. Coolest name in classic rock or otherwise. Scaggs and fellow '80s jammer Michael McDonald take their talents the Puyallup Fair tonight. Have a scone and travel back in time.

3. Usually when you go to the casino you just lose money - but tonight could be different. Danny Vernon's Illusions of Elvis will be at the Red Wind Casino this evening. Travel out to Yelm and have a great time with the King's likeness, starting at 6:30 p.m.

4. It's open mic night at Tugboat Annie's in Oly. It's time to show the world that glitch folk concept record you've been working on in your basement.

5. The Rafael Tranquilino Band does its thing - and does it well - every Tuesday at Stonegate Pizza on South Tacoma Way. This is a local favorite.
