THE WEEK OF NOV. 29-DEC. 5, 2012 >>>
In this week's issue ...
The South Sound is full of holiday artsy goodness - festivals, stage productions, art shows and special events out the wazoo fa la la la la. The arts are everywhere, draped with tinsel, wrapped in a bow with a pesky elf on top ringing a tiny bell. In this week's issue the Weekly Volcano presents a dozen artsy events to brighten your holidays.
Former band member of Tacoma's Swelter, Katie's Dimples and others, Jason Harsin just released his Hawaii-based hair and body care collection, Hearts & Stars, and will be back in Tacoma this weekend for a product line launch party. Nikki McCoy chats with Harsin about his Tacoma days and his new shampoo.
For 10 years now, Beautiful Angle has created handcrafted letterpress posters. Once a month, these posters get wheat-pasted and stapled in locations around downtown Tacoma in what the two men responsible - graphic designer Lance Kagey and writer Tom Llewellyn - like to call "guerrilla art." Beautiful Angle's annual holiday party will combine with the opening of their latest show - The Mystery/Myth Folio - with grand results. Kristin Kendle discusses the meaning of the new exhibit with the "word" side of Beautiful Angle, Tom Llewellyn.
Hip-hop columnist Josh Rizeberg unloads a bunch of questions on Tacoma hip-hop artist Todd Sykes about digging in record stores."Digging makes me feel like gambling. Walking into a record store, ya never know what you'll get," says Sykes.
Nikki McCoy chats with local band Champagne Sunday about its role in the local music scene. Apparently, Nikki should have Champagne Sunday over for Sunday dinner.
Within the next 26 shopping days left Jackie Fender found a slew of local crafters, concocters - butchers, bakers and candlestick makers - and non-brick and mortar entrepreneurs that are joining forces, under a single roof, to sell you their pride and joy.
After 17 years of Stardust holiday schmaltz-fests, Harlequin director Linda Whitney outsourced her holiday revue-writing to James Hindman and Ray Roderick of Miracle or 2 Productions, authors of 2003's A Christmas Survival Guide. From Christian Carvajal's critical standpoint, it's a welcome change, especially since this anthology's aimed squarely at cynical adults weary of the hustle, bustle, and rabid commercialism of 21st-century holidays.
PLUS: Alec Clayton recaps worthy local art shows in the South Sound.
News and entertainment from Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s most awesome weekly newspapers - The Ranger, Northwest Airlifter and Weekly Volcano.
