Local ownership group takes over the Tide and Sounders

THIS JUST IN >>>

Tacoma Football Club announed the transfer of ownership of the Tide and the Seattle Sounders Women to a new local group. Tacoma Tide FC of the Premier Development League and the Seattle Sounders Women of the W-League have been purchased by Lane Smith and Cliff McElroy, with former owner/operator Mike Jennings maintaining a minority stake. The United Soccer Leagues (approved the sale of the teams yesterday.

No word yet if Costco had anything to do with the sale. Here's the rest of the press release:

"We are coming on board with the goal of growing these two teams and establishing an even greater connection with their communities," says Lane Smith. "The Tide and the Sounders Women both represent a strong work ethic as well as stepping stones on the path for our local players in their soccer careers."

McElroy says the new group promises to work hard for and with local soccer supporters. "The Tacoma Football Club looks forward to the opportunity to increase engagement of the Sounders Women and Tacoma Tide into the Puget Sound community. We plan to work hard to bring more fan and youth involvement as well as business ties to these two local teams and expand the Pacific Northwest's storied Football tradition. "

Cornish steals the Neddy show from Tacoma Art Museum

DRAT >>>

The Neddy Artists Fellowships are among the most prestigious art awards in the state and are granted each year to two worthy Washington state artists in honor of longtime Seattle painter Robert "Ned" Behnke, who died in 1989. The Fellowship is awarded to Northwest artists who demonstrate artistic excellence, innovation, unique vision, and a passionate commitment to their art and community.

Every year for the past seven years Tacoma Art Museum has shown works by the winners and nominees. That streak has ended.

The Behnke Foundation announced Cornish College of the Arts is the new institutional home for the Neddy.

Boo!

Here's what the Behnke Foundation has to say:

The Breaklites break out a new one

DROPPING ON A WEDNESDAY >>>

Having a smooth rich flow; filled with something (as honey) that sweetens. That sounds about right. The Breaklites shelved the full-length and dropped an EP just in time for its December tour. Titled RAPFACE, I wouldn't be surprised if this Tacoma trio had a MC Solaar album somewhere in the closet. The new video below speaks volumes. Click here for free download.

Today's comment comes from KAke in response to Santa's post on Blitz & Co. Florists holiday window scene.

KAke writes,

There is a house on 30th Street Hill that has it's Christmas tree up and lit, shining bright for all to see in a street side window. Now that's getting a jump on things. I just put away the Halloween decorations.

5 Things To Do Today: Skanksgiving, "Broadway & Beyond," Mack 10's Hoo Bangin Records Tour, karaoke ...

Ten Miles of Bad Road will entertain the ho's tonight at The Swiss.

THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 2011 >>>

1. We'll just come right out and say it: you don't have anything to do tonight that's going to top Skanksgiving at The Swiss. It's not that you're lame ... necessarily ... it's just that Skanksgiving promises to be pretty damn spectacular. A benefit for Pierce County's Emergency Food Network, where else are you going to find an officially sanctioned Pimps and Ho's of History Contest promising "stupid prizes"? Where else are you going to find an officially sanctioned Tacoma Gets Smashed piñata? Where else are you going to find Ten Miles of Bad Road on a Thursday night? Absolutely nowhere. Skanksgiving begins at 7 p.m.

2. South Puget Sound Community College presents its musical dessert theatre "Broadway & Beyond" at 8 p.m. inside the Washington Center. The theme of this year's festivities, which will again feature delectable food and entertainment, is "The War Years," promising in pre-event hype to feature plenty of Broadway favorites. Tough to go wrong there. Running through next weekend, event organizers say to expect a performance that caters "to literal tastes as well as those in the arts."

3. Do you like drag kings and queens? They've 'em, hanging low and taped up high. Do you like singing show tunes? Do you like disco? Do you like to shoot pool? There's a table in the lower level. But the Weekly Volcano digs The Mix's Thursday night karaoke where you can sing it loud, sister. There's a big book and after a couple $5 Jagerbombs or $5 vodka Red Bulls (Thursday night specials), you know "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys is coming out.

4. Hell's Kitchen hosts the Mack 10's Hoo Bangin Records Tour featuring Ruka Puff, Black 300, Mike G & M.A.R., Yellow Lines, JMar Da Sik, Young Cash, Tray Black, Monoply, Lil' Keife, P.S.B. and C.H. at 9 p.m.

5. DJ Aaron Mack will be spinning '80s tunes at 9 p.m. inside The Acme Grub Cage in Tacoma. Go work the stripper pole.

VOLCANO ARTS: Olympia Film Festival, "Java Tacoma: Episode 38," "J. Edgar" and more ...

ARTS COVERAGE TO END ALL ARTS COVERAGE >>>

At this point it goes without saying. If you're looking for coverage of local arts in Tacoma, Olympia, and all points in between, the Weekly Volcano is THE place to find it. Our goal is to consistently provide the best local arts coverage possible to our fantastic readers -- always be on the lookout for ways to shine a light on all the awesome creativity we see around us.

Here's a look at the Volcano arts coverage waiting for you this week in print and online.

FEATURE: OLYMPIA FILM FEST


(Carlen Altman co-wrote and stars in "The Color Wheel", playing Nov. 17 at the Olympia Film Festival. Photo courtesy Sean Prince Williams)

The OFF looked deep into the past when building the 2011 festival, even inviting back a contributor to its own history. J.R. Baker finds himself in a sequel of sorts, back in the saddle again as OFF director after a 19-year absence. Baker compares his return to that other age-old travel metaphor: "It's like riding a bike. Once you get on ... after not riding it for awhile, you're good to go."

By now OFF's wheels turn so smoothly that Baker slipped into his former job without getting stuck in the gears.

Like Baker, other festival favorites have reappeared this year. Not only can visitors now cast their vote for the Audience Award, they also receive an extra day of movies. Usually the party ends on a good fright - that much-loved horror show All Freakin' Night - but this year the show goes on into Sunday, Nov. 20, with a Closing Night celebration.

"There are just so many wonderful films out there," says Baker, "that it's hard to pack them into nine days." ... -- Christopher Wood

THEATER: JAVA TACOMA: EPISODE 38

(Photo courtesy Jason Ganwich/Facebook)

The soap opera comedy utilizes a small ensemble cast and simple staging to tell a story of the "friends, neighbors and siblings" of Perky's coffee shop. Opening up the show, Kate (Betzy Miller) hit the stage with a PSA about Tacoma's atrocious neighbor to the north, Federal Way. Then the actors gave a whirlwind recap of Episode 37, and we learned that Perky's had lost its lease and the owners were forced to relocate.

The majority of the play was a pretty straight forward comedy, awash with references to all things Tacoma - the Murray Morgan Bridge, Tacoma Dome, Union Station, LeMay Car Museum, Point Defiance Zoo and Pho King included. There were moments of soap opera contrivances throughout Java Tacoma: Episode 38, but thankfully the actors were able to pull off the script and had the audience laughing throughout the hour-long performance. ... -- Joann Varnell

MOVIE BIZ BUZZ: SLAUGHTERHOUSE SQUARE

When I saw the big white ambulance with "Pierce County Asylum" engraved on its side, I knew I was close. Director Harry Tchinski had asked me to visit the closed set of his newest horror feature, Grimises Rising, buried somewhere deep in the bowels of Tacoma's Freighthouse Square. If you've walked through its multiple levels of seemingly endless hallways then you know its size, and I had only an inkling as to which entrance (FHS has lots) would get me on set. But like a gleaming arrow, the spooky vehicle pointed me in the right direction.

I knocked on a door painted crimson (REDRUM, my mind whispered), and after a few moments Tchinski stepped outside. ... -- Christopher Wood

MOVIE REVIEW: J. EDGAR

There are moments in J. Edgar that approach parody of Oscar-baiting biopics. Let's take, for instance, the moment when J. Edgar Hoover has to think up a new signature when signing up for a line of credit at a clothing store. "But I've always signed my name John Edgar Hoover," he protests. Cue a curiously long and unintentionally hilarious zoom in on his new signature: "J. Edgar Hoover." This is a moment that rivals John C. Reilly's prolonged and emphatic (and intentionally funny) lead up to his utterance of the words "walk hard" in the film of the same name.

I reveled in these awkwardly funny moments in the sea of steadfast mediocrity that is Clint Eastwood's latest effort. ... -- Rev. Adam McKinney

VOLCANO MUSIC: Wax Idols, Sonny Bonoho, all-ages action returns to Hell’s Kitchen plus more …

YOUR SOURCE FOR LOCAL MUSIC COVERAGE >>>

Yes, we voted this week. Yes, we cleaned our room too. We took the garbage out, raked the yard, fed the dog and rubbed Aunt Gertie's feet. We did all the things we were supposed to do, like the good little boys and girls we are.

Included in all this doing? As always, another shining installment of the Weekly Volcano music section.

It's true. We wouldn't lie. You better believe we managed to pump out another stellar Weekly Volcano music section - your every Thursday chance at the best in local music coverage.

Here's a look at the sonic goodness coming at you in print and online in this week's Volcano ...

FEATURE: WAX IDOLS

As I'm sure we're all aware, there's a sort of renaissance happening right now with young bands rediscovering and reinterpreting the sunny, fuzzy garage pop sounds of the past few decades, particularly in California. These are bands that have the benefit of an enormous back catalogue of music to sift through and disseminate however they wish - to mix and match and come up with a composite sound, which will exist thanks entirely to the passing of time and muddying of cultural touchstones.

One such band is Wax Idols, a steadily rising fixture in this California scene. Headed by Hether Fortune, a former member of contemporaries like Hunx and His Punx and Bare Wires, Wax Idols has a similarly freewheeling sound that allows the band to experiment in punk, new wave and early goth. ... -- Rev. Adam McKinney

HIP-HOP: SONNY BONOHO'S "COOGARS" & MORE ...

Riding the national buzz from his last album, Sonny Bonoho recently released a brand new single, "Coogars." YouTube the song to hear it. It's about older women going after younger men, and it's one of Sonny's more humorous songs. His last video, "I Know" featuring Playboy Tre, was on the serious tip. I guess Sonny can't stay serious forever. He's got to let his funny-guy freak flag fly. ... -- Josh Rizeberg

PUNK & METAL: HELL'S KITCHEN GOES ALL-AGES (AGAIN)

Speaking of all-ages shows, Hell's Kitchen is joining the fray once again. You may remember that Hell's Kitchen was THE place for all-ages gigs back when T-Town had nothing else for the kiddies to do but roam the streets - bringing just about every legendary old-school punk band through our fine city. Nov. 18 brings stoner-metal godz High on Fire along with Indian, Bloodhunger and Unhailoed. I strongly suggest getting your tickets now.  ... -- Jason McKibbin

WE RECOMMEND: FRANK FAIRFIELD

You've got to give it to the folks over at The Warehouse. At this point a production company (of sorts) specializing in bringing intimate, artistic and artist-friendly shows to Tacoma, The Warehouse looks to have hit pay dirt again with Saturday's performance by Frank Fairfield, an old school (and I mean ooold school) gee-tar, fiddle and banjo player who many fell in love with last summer at Doe Bay Fest. "His music immediately transports you to a dusty trail stop and a crackling fire. He is well versed in early American music and fits the part perfectly. Trust me, you have to see it to believe it," says The Warehouse's Adam Ydstie in email. ... -- Matt Driscoll

New Tacoma retail kitchen and gourmet food store opens

NOW OPEN >>>

Jack Noble has his head so wrapped around the opening of his new retail kitchen store in Tacoma's Triangle District he didn't notice I was taking hits off his soy latte. Noble, along with business partner Kris Blondin, have opened Füdie next door to their über deli, STINK Cheese & Meat. In fact, they blew a hole through the wall and mirrored STINK's color scheme in the new store, which also sells gourmet food, wine and beer.

We'll ignore the fact I didn't realize I was drinking the wrong coffee.

Noble bounced through different emotions as he swept, arranged and wiped. He's proud to open small businesses in downtown Tacoma. A strong sense of community pride drives the ventures of he and Blondin undertake. A smile dominates as he adjusts local and European beer labels so they're facing forward. There's even a skip to Noble's step as he straightens the mini whisks, spatulas and tongs next to the front counter. However, he's slightly sad a few of his gourmet spotlight items are stuck in a truck somewhere in New York. He believes the few empty spots on the shelves will burst with color by the weekend.

"I'm thrilled to offer downtown denizens, and those traveling to the suburbs, the opportunity to buy gourmet food products, top-of-the-line kitchen tools, a nice bottle of wine and hard to find beers," Noble says.

Those familiar with the wine and beer sold at STINK will delight at Füdie's variety. Just eyeing it, I'd say the amount of wine and beer has grown 10 times, including Shafer Cabs, Merryvale and Rex Hill Pinots, Novelty Hill Merlot, Italian Chianti, French reds and whites, port, sparkling, and an impressive large bottle beer selection, including Hales El Jefe Weizen and Supergoose IPA, and Fish Tales Organic IPA.

The gourmet treats include Island Troller albacore from Whidbey Island, Nikki's shortbreads (Meyer lemon and maple syrup), Bissinger's liquor cups, Matiz Gallego sardines in olive oil and much more.

"Kris says Tacoma can now eat pommes frites," Noble says, pointing to the jars of Rougie Duck Fat.

The 1000-square-foot store is airy and modern, anchored by a 12-foot thick farm table, where Blondin and Noble will host wine and beer tastings.

Besides the mini kitchen tools, Füdie carries typical-size kitchen utensils and accessories from Epicurean, Progressive, Danesco and Further.

Ignoring the new wide entryway into Füdie, not much has changed on the STINK side. A new menu will roll out in three weeks with quiches, stratas and other comfort food. All the popular dishes will remain.

Füdie's front sign isn't up yet. The logo's backdrop is that of a pineapple, the international symbol for hospitality.

The hours match STINK's - 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Thursday, open until 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday hours may soon be added.

[Füdie, Sixth and St. Helens Ave., 253.426.1347]

Friday: Rain, hi 52, lo 32

Saturday: Rain, hi 48, lo 37

Sunday: Rain, hi 50, lo 36

>>> NOV. 10-11: ... LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

It's snow porn at its finest. After hitting T-Town last weekend, this week Warren Miller Entertainment presents its 62nd winter sports film, ...Like There's No Tomorrow, in Oly. Ski bums and snowboarding enthusiasts will surely flock to the Washington Center for a chance to catch this latest Warren Miller Entertainment joint, shot in India, New Zealand, Chile, British Columbia "and beyond," according  promotions. U.S. skiing legend and gold-medalist at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics Jonny Moseley narrates and hosts the film, which will show Thursday and Friday.

  • Washington Center, 8 p.m. Thursday, 6:30 & 9:30 p.m. Friday, 512 Washington St. SE, Olympia, 360.753.8586

>>> FRIDAY, NOV. 11: ICONIC

ICONIC will probably be epic. Or at least that's the safe assumption, going off the hype provided by the DASH Center for the Arts and the Tacoma Art Commission's Naomi Strom-Avila. Billed as an "exciting dance production paying tribute to popular music's greatest performers," ICONIC - presented by DASH Center for the Arts' artistic director Jimmy Shields - will "recreate the most ICONIC videos and stage performances of Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Usher, and, of course, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson!" Hence the name, we guess. Mt. Tahoma High School on 11-11-11 is where it will go down, with the dancers of RC-X, Koncrete Studio's, SOTA's FullForce and Studio West doing the dirty work.

  • Mt. Tahoma High School, 8 p.m., $11-$15, 4634 S. 74th St., Tacoma, 253.571.3646]

>>> NOV. 11 - NOV. 20: OLYMPIA FILM FESTIVAL

With an ambitious 10-day lineup spanning the ages of cinema, there literally is something for everyone at this year's Olympia Film Festival. The OFF looked deep into the past when building the 2011 festival, even inviting back a contributor to its own history. J.R. Baker finds himself in a sequel of sorts, back in the saddle again as OFF director after a 19-year absence. Baker compares his return to that other age-old travel metaphor: "It's like riding a bike. Once you get on ... after not riding it for awhile, you're good to go."

>>> SATURDAY, NOV. 12: COMMUNITY ART DAY

Tacoma is a living, breathing example of the powerful positive impact art can have on a community. So it's not surprising to see Saturday bringing an event at Tacoma Art Place simply known as Community Art Day. And the title pretty much says it all. Expect workshops, demonstrations and family fun all day, and all for free. The Weekly Volcano is a proud sponsor of Community Art Day.

  • Tacoma Art Place, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., free, 1116 S. 11th St., Tacoma, 253.238.1006

>>> SATURDAY, NOV. 12: FRANK FAIRFIELD

You've got to give it to the folks over at The Warehouse. At this point a production company (of sorts) specializing in bringing intimate, artistic and artist-friendly shows to Tacoma, The Warehouse looks to have hit pay dirt again with Saturday's performance by Frank Fairfield, an old school (and I mean ooold school) gee-tar, fiddle and banjo player who many fell in love with last summer at Doe Bay Fest. "His music immediately transports you to a dusty trail stop and a crackling fire. He is well versed in early American music and fits the part perfectly. Trust me, you have to see it to believe it," says The Warehouse's Adam Ydstie in email. "We at The Warehouse have worked hard to create a special evening for a small audience to experience Frank Fairfield as well as a host of other amazing musicians from the area. This performance will be on the stage at Urban Grace sans any amplification and lit primarily by candles. We will have chairs and pillows on the stage for the audience to sit back, relax, and enjoy the music."  The show will also include members of Sons of Warren Oates and Ravenna Woods. 

  • Urban Grace Church, with members of Sons of Warren Oates & Ravenna Woods, 7:30 p.m., $8-$10, 902 Market St., Tacoma, brownpapertickets.com

>>> SATURDAY, NOV. 12: PRAIRIE LINE TRAIL PUBLIC ART TOUR

Art At Work: Tacoma Arts Month continues Saturday with the Prairie Line Trail Public Art Tour, celebrating the existence of possibilities Tacoma's Prairie Line Trail, and also a collection of temporary public art installations that have been set up along it to hopefully catch your eye and attention. According to Tacoma Arts Month hype, "Artwork includes Thoughtbarn's artificial landforms created from everyday materials like cardboard and zip ties and five other site-responsive, ephemeral works created by teams of Tacoma artists." The afternoon tour leaves from Tollefson Plaza at 2 p.m. Temporal Terminus: Marking the Line, an exhibition of eight temporary public artworks, runs Nov. 12-30.

  • Tollefson Plaza, 2 p.m., free, 17th and Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, website

>>> WHAT SOME OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE UP TO 

ALEC CLAYTON Visual Arts Critic
It's gonna be a sagacious gay weekend. First a SAGE mixer (that's a social get-together from our new group that works with GLBT elders) and then a PFLAG meeting Sunday, at which SAGE co-founders and board will be our special guests.

NIKKI TALOTTA Features Writer
For once, a free weekend! No birthday parties, no family dinners, no rock shows, no extra shifts at the bar. I think I will make cookies and a big batch of clam chowder. I will catch up on laundry. Domestic duties have never sounded better...

JOANN VARNELL: Theater Critic
For my three day weekend I will be steam cleaning the carpets in my TV room and the bedrooms in an effort to rid the dog germs from the floor. If I'm lucky, my husband will take a turn playing with our 15 month old and I will FINALLY paint the TV room or possibly our bedroom. Oh, the glamor and dreams of newish parents.

STEVE DUNKELBERGER Meat Market Photographer
I have some work  in the yard to do and will be geocaching around with the kids while trying to get over this freaking cold.

JENNIFER JOHNSON Food & Lifestyle Writer
Game night at Institute Friday. Gym Saturday morning, a volunteer house painting project later, and a birthday party that night. Sunday church and family dinner.

CHRISTIAN CARVAJAL Theater Critic
My wife has arranged a baby shower for our friend Heather, so I'm throwing her husband, the proud father, a "dad-chelor party." I also have to work on my lines for A Christmas Story, opening 2 December.

JOE IZENMAN Theater Critic
In classic American glutton fashion, I will be celebrating not one, not two, but three different Thanksgivings, with three different families. Thanksgiving: Part The First commences this weekend, after I jet from Friday night's Jason Webley 11-11-11 show up in Seattle. Mmmm turkey.

REV. ADAM MCKINNEY Music & Film Writer
Friday's going to be pretty busy. There's the totally awesome Wax Idols show happening at the New Frontier, but there's also a show at the Piano Company, followed by a listening party for Tom Waits' new album, accompanied by some sort of beer/coffee/milkshake deal. Sounds too intriguing to pass up. I think I'm gonna pull a Flintstones and dash back and forth between the venues while hurriedly switching my outfits.
