MONDAY, MAY 20 2013 >>>
1. The Mac - that's Fleetwood Mac, for those of you who weren't around in the late '70s/early '80s and/or don't have parents - will perform at 8 p.m. in the Tacoma Dome. Drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks will be on hand, but missing will be singer/keyboardist Mac mainstay Christine McVie, who blazed in 1998. Without McVie's alto voice, you'll hear a lot more of Buckingham and Nicks, which according to tour reports, you might hear a bit of wear in their voices. Who cares? Bring on "Dreams," "Rhiannon," "Gold Dust Woman," "Don't Stop," "Tusk" and "Go Your Own Way." Bring on the lyrics full of heartbreak and recriminations. Bring on the between-song banter. In the end, the landslide will bring you down anyway.
2. If you've noticed we're pushing local breweries lately, you've caught us. We can't stay away from local beer. Plus, there's something about a local brewery that screams perfect date night. A couple pints of lager, a couple side salads, a doggy bag for the happy couple. ... Powerhouse Restaurant and Brewery in Puyallup offers a pasta and pint combination every Monday that's easy on the wallet. Buy pasta off the menu and get any one of Powerhouse's seven beers free of charge.
3. Monday is typically a black hole for nightlife. Sure, if you run a sports bar, you'll do well during the World Series or football season, but for most eating and drinking establishments, it's just dead, dead, dead. There's a darn good reason why so many bars are empty on Mondays. So how do those that remain open find ways to fill barstools on this, the most dreadful evening of the workweek? The folks at The Swiss seem to have found a solution and, oddly enough, it's one that has been the bane of many other venues: live music. Since the beginning of time, The Swiss has hosted live blues every Monday. At 8 p.m. catch The Mark Riley Band.
4. Every Monday Jazzbones is packed to the brim with college kids. Party types. The type that wear tight shirts and trucker hats. Throngs of Chad Fratguys and Sarah Sororitysisters swarm the bar, line up for the bathroom and dance to the Rockaraoke - live band karaoke. The Rockaraoke band is skilled, too. Expect $2 PBR drafts, $3 Sinfire shots and $4 Smirnoff flavor vodka bombs beginning at 9 p.m.
5. Infernoh and Effluxus will rock Le Voyeur in downtown Olympia beginning at 9 p.m.
