The Weekly Volcano didn’t spot Cousin Eddie at Doyle’s Ugly Holiday Sweater Contest the night before Thanksgiving, but we did spot winners Mike Finch and Grace Toledo. Although they weren’t handknit, they were truly amazing sweaters.

The new show at The Helm may be called “Don’t Be Absurd,” but it is all about absurdities such as shapeless cloths leaping into the air on city streets and cutely menacing creatures that are half whale and half swordfish. Works by nine artists cram the little gallery. Some of the

Bobble Tiki knows damn well there are things he’s allowed to joke about and subjects he shouldn’t touch with a 10-foot stick. Call it the curse of political correctness if you want, but as an average middle-aged tiki, there are a number of jokes that it just wouldn’t be funny

I usually consider myself to be a step above lowbrow gossip journalists, but sometimes even I stoop to low levels. There’s a lot to be excited about regarding the recent opening of Satellite Coffee, located where the old Temple of the Bean once lived above Supernova Hair and Tattoo. Any time

The Fan Club, affectionately referred to as “The Old McDonald’s” by the League of Liberal Libations, oozes character. Years ago, when I lived only a few blocks away when it was called the Little Leaf Tavern (it was originally a McDonald’s with arches), the gaggle of guys who lived in

The scene on South Tacoma Way is set for a music revolution. Now people just need to venture out and check it for themselves. I went last Saturday and was very excited by what I saw. No longer dark and scary, I saw actual foot traffic of happy laughing party-goers

What makes a restaurant succeed? This is a question that has many complicated answers. If the answers were easy, people would be opening dining establishments right and left. Smart folk don’t open restaurants. Crazy people do. To put it more politely, people that like to live on the edge open

Taste the Holiday Spirit The holidays. Love ’em or loathe ’em, they’re here, complete with fudge, stuffed mushrooms, plump guys in red suits and parties! Pot luck, probably. Bobble Tiki already juggles a stack of invites and might even volunteer (or, more likely, be volunteered) to throw a bash too. And
