You’ve probably already heard of Jeremiah Maddock. You may have seen some of his work already. You most likely read Daniel Blue’s article about his latest show at Mineral (Mineral is good for you, Weekly Volcano, Aug. 28). Now I offer my take on it. It’s pretty good. I might even

Lakewood Playhouse opened its 70th season with a sidesplitter of a show that can best be described as Weekend at Bernie’s and Casablanca with a little bit of music and gambling thrown into the mix. Lucky Stiff, by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, is a gasser. The plot has a few

Pierce County Councilmembers are scheduled to vote, near month’s end, on updates to our road map for garbage management, known officially as the Tacoma-Pierce County Solid Waste Management Plan (author’s note: not to be confused with the contract discussed on page 7 in this fine rag).

Touted as Seattle’s longest running indie craft experience, Bumbershoot definitely delivered again this year. Providing more than just an amazing musical- and people-watching smorgasbord, the purely Northwest festival shines the light on and provides exposure for many incredibly talented designers, much like festivals in our own city of Tacoma have

I don’t really care to drink at places where everyone knows my name. If they know my name it means they know my reputation as a dart master, and board or no board, inevitably I will be challenged to “huck some sharps.” I do, however, like to drink where the

My first experience judging a food contest at the Puyallup Fair left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Innocently, or rather stupidly, in 2004 I agreed to judge the parent-child gingerbread house contest. I received a free ticket into the Fair, a parking pass, a nametag and enough angst

After establishing the fact that “and Lounge” at the end of a restaurant’s title usually means “dive bar inside,” there’s been no problem finding bar exam victims. What lies inside these seemingly seedy establishments has surprised my bar exam team as of late. Cleanliness, beer variety, and friendly conversation have

To quote Jerry Orbach, Baby’s dad in Dirty Dancing, “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong.” I admit I was seriously wrong in saying summer was over in last week’s column. I did feel a slight crispness in the morning air last week, but I should have never jumped to

Sometimes, like last week, Bobble Tiki lets someone else (usually Matt Driscoll) talk him into covering a certain show with his column. To be honest, Bobble Tiki’s a little lazy, and usually when you give him a chance to get out of work he’ll take the bait. That’s just the

They reek of dead fish, yet they’re hotties nonetheless. Tourists and locals alike stand close enough to witness the fish-throwing action, and far enough back to stay out of the fishmongers’ way. Most visitors would be mortified to catch a fish in such a popular and heavily populated venue, but
