WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19, 2011 >>>

1. Jazz O'Rama featuring Kareem Kandi, Alexey Nikolaev, Joe Doria and Andre Thomas performs tonight at Jazzbones. The action kicks off at 8 p.m. and there's no cover.

2. Hump Day means it's time to party - and there's nowhere better to party than at Stunna Wednesdays with DJ Kun Luv at Surreal Ultra Lounge. Ladies get I free before 11 p.m.

3. The real appeal of Puget Sound Pizza's karaoke is its inimitable host, the Reverend Colin. A tall, bearded man who always sports a utilikilt, Rev. Colin possesses a wealth of oddball musical knowledge and a disarming ease for calling everyone "baby." Having hosted karaoke for a little more than 12 years, Rev. Colin conducts karaoke with a sure hand and a sense of fairness with who gets to sing and how often; he once told me that he prides himself on not accepting bribes from people to be moved to the top of the singing rotation. See for yourself tonight at Puget Sound Pizza, when Karaoke with Colin kicks off at 9 p.m.

4. You only have a few more days to catch Tacoma Community College's 9^th Annual Juried Art Exhibition, which Volcano art critic Alec Clayton reviewed recently, saying "there are exciting pieces by Ron Hinson and Barlow Palminteri, whose two-man show at South Puget Sound Community College last year was probably the best of the year outside of major museum exhibitions." To read Alec Clayton's full review, click here. The exhibition runs through Oct. 21.

5. Interested in getting lost in a corn cannon? How about a corn maze? Want the kids to run wild with tractor-pulled rides, a pumpkin patch, a haunted trail bouncy castle, pony rides and more? Well, sounds like the nearly legendary Maris Farms is for you. Check it out today.
