WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20 2013 >>>
1. The kind of light psychedelic pop created by Fruit Juice is eminently invigorating in its giddy goofiness. With their glammy energy and commitment to sunny, falsetto harmonies, Fruit Juice at times resembles Of Montreal. Smack in the middle of a brightly poppy journey, an underwater spoken word interlude busts in and ushers the listener down a rabbit hole of brain-warping textures before emerging on the other end just as boisterous and driving as before. Elsewhere, Fruit Juice recalls the pastoral beauty of Village Green-era Kinks, or the sly experimentation of John Lennon. It's a swirling fish bowl of paint illuminated against a wall in an endless configuration of shapes and colors, and it all eventually congeals into a surprisingly consistent vibe of wackiness and devil-may-care subversion - all with pleasantly glassy-eyed sheen. Catch the band with I Like Science at 10 p.m. in Le Voyeur.
2. Irish glass engraver, designer and tutor Eamonn Hartley will be working in the Hot Shop at Museum of Glass from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. as part of the 2013 Visiting Artists residency program. His work is currently on display in Museum of Glass' newest exhibition, "CAUTION! Fragile. Irish Glass: Tradition in Transition," which explores the Irish glass industry and the impact of recent factory closures on artists, tradition and personal identity.
3. The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation's "Foundation of Art Award" has been recognized as one the most notable art awards in the South Sound region. To celebrate the sixth anniversary of the Award, the Foundation is hosting an exhibit featuring the 12 talented artists that were nominated in 2013 at Fulcrum Gallery, from noon to 6 p.m. The exhibit will also unveil the commissioned artwork created by the 2013 winning artist, Shaun Peterson.
4. Rob McKenna, former attorney general for Washington, will lecture at 6 p.m. in the Norman Worthington Conference Center as part of the Leadership Lecture Series hosted by the Saint Martin's University's School of Business.
5. Come watch and listen to Tom Hornbein discuss the greatest Himalayan climb in American mountaineering history. The film High and Hallowed: Everest 1963 tells the story of Willi Unsoeld and Hornbein's pioneering ascent of the West Ridge of Mt. Everest, and examines the risk and adventure that drew them to the summit. Filmmakers David Morton, Jake Norton and Jim Aikman will join Hornbein onstage after the film to discuss the film with the audience. Discover how Unsoeld and Hornbein conquered the mountain at 7 p.m. in the Washington Center.
PLUS: Joe Roasti performs songs off his new CD at 7 p.m. with China Davis at Jazzbones.
