2. Stink hosts a Belgian beer tasting tonight.  Belgian beers are some of the most food friendly and complex of all beverages. Won't you put down that IPA for an hour or so and refresh in the frothy, tasty glow that is provided by Kent Wetzler and Wetten Imports? $10 per person includes some tasty snacks and beer. 628 St Helens Ave

3. You may have seen Maria Jost's work around town and wondered who it was by. This elusive artist would make a limited number of prints and then, under the light of the moon, put them up around town on telephone poles and vacant buildings. If you were fortunate enough to grab one of her prints, most likely it had staple holes and rips in it. Now you have an opportunity to not only buy unblemished prints as well as the original art pieces tonight, 6 p.m. at Amocat Cafe, 625 St Helens Ave, Tacoma. As a bonus, Kaletron will be making his special awesome brand of music for the event.

4. Cosmic BINGO - this new entertainment craze sweeping the country takes a very old game of chance, applies some shock therapy, and creates an entertainment option that today's younger generation are flocking to. Cosmic bingo is played in a stimulating, high energy, black light environment that is driven by DJ entertainment and the players favorite song titles. BJ's Bingo; 4411 Pacific Highway E.; Fife. 11 p.m. $7 buy in pack.
