WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5, 2011 >>>

1. Did you know Wednesday doesn't need to be a bummer of a night? Did you realize the Sammy Steele Band plays Lady Luck Cowgirl Up every Wednesday night? Get learned, bubba. Starting tonight.

2. Always wanted to meet Vanna White? Always wanted to pick letters so expertly it wipes that smug look right off Pat Sajak's face? Well, Vanna and Pat wont be at the Emerald Queen Casino tonight, but a Wheel of Fortune auditions show will be - kicking off at 5 p.m. Find more info on the Emerald Queen Casino website.

3. DJ Iceman spins tonight at 54th St. Sports Bar and Grill in South Tacoma. If he tells you he doesn't like you because you're dangerous, prove his ass wrong on the dance floor ... or playing beach volleyball. Honestly, the dance floor scenario is much more applicable to this event.

4. Tonight marks the "Pay What You Can" performance of Harlequin's The Love List, which Christian Carvajal reviews in tomorrow's Volcano. Yes, he likes it. In fact, he says it's better than TV. The show starts at 8 p.m. at the State Theater in downtown Olympia.

5. Musicians John Phillips and Gary Crooks will be at Pastiche Wine Bar on Tacoma's Sixth Avenue tonight.
