Kate Shanaman Bender starts her day by going downstairs for coffee with her neighbor. “What’s the good news?” she asks Chiara Wood. She calls Wood by many names: Chiara, Kiki, my mother. “We have a unique situation,” Bender admits. Together they’ll begin their commute down one flight of stairs into the offices of

Shopping-gasm There is nothing on the planet that inspires warm, fuzzy, happy, elated feelings quite like a perceived good bargain. Throw in a really good bargain and you can amp that emotion up about 17,000 notches. So there I was at Dame Lola picking up my long-forgotten AG cords, busted apart by my

Rockaroake reigning champ and all around fun chica Najamonique Todd took a minute to chat with me. We overheard the tattoo guys in back talking about something, and Todd clarified what the subject was: “They’re talking about Monday nights at Jazzbones — the whole indie rock scene in Tacoma shows

It has become customary this time of year for me to celebrate the coming of spring by previewing shows and concerts the dawning season has to offer. If all goes according to plan, this will be the most comprehensive preview yet. In the past, after scouring piles of show listings

According to a traditional children's song, little boys are made of "snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails." Whoever wrote that crap obviously never went to a drag race. If he had, he'd know that boys, from little to big, are made of nitromethane fuel, turbochargers, burnt-out tires with smelly
