I have to be brutally honest here for a minute. I didn’t have high hopes for Tacoma Little Theatre’s production of “Sleeping Beauty.” I just didn’t. But I played the role of the dutiful father and took my daughter to see the show so I would have something to write about. Apparently,

The Weekly Volcano finds excitement when all the elements of style end up under the same roof: groundbreaking, ingenious design, cutting-edge fashion, and the most progressive of music. Therefore, we found ürbanaüt last Saturday at Sanford & Son Antiques very exciting. We also found interior designer Christy Reedy’s outfit that night

Thursday, Nov. 15 PSYCHOBILLY boneyard crawlers When I hear the name “Boneyard Crawlers,” I instantly think of something completely different than what the Tacoma-based psychobilly band probably had in mind. Because I’m all about hip lingo, I often refer to Jazzbones as “the Boneyard.” Having worked the door at the club, I’m more

There’s a fine line between a totally sappy love song and an intelligent portrait of a relationship. Not many singer/songwriters can pull it off, but Tacoma’s own Matt Coughlin has the ability to wear his heart on his sleeve without making me want to puke. Originally from Belgrade, Mont., Coughlin

The phrase “good things come in small packages” came to my mind recently while I was patiently waiting in line this week at a staple T-Town location. In downtown Tacoma, there’s an absolutely charming business with an equally charming owner, and both are small and cozy. Margaret’s Café Margaret’s was opened by Margaret

Consider Friday night’s Art Slam at the Rialto Theater to be, sort of, like a blending of Laser Pink Floyd and that art class you had freshman year, only cooler than either because the event is sprinkled with a liberal dose of the essence of Tacoma. Basically, what you have is

I had every reason to believe I'd love director Linda Whitney's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. I admire her work, enjoy the play, and spend far more time thinking about Jesus than many hardcore Christians. I was so sure I'd love it that, with my wife at a Salt-N-Pepa show

The saying is true. There is nothing quite like a sunny day in the Pacific Northwest. The people of the South Sound know how to take full advantage of beautiful summer weather, and that includes knowing the best restaurants for outdoor dining. Whether it be a patio or deck, water,
