The University of Puget Sound’s SCRABBLE Rousers club will host a tournament to raise funds for the Tacoma Community House with triple word scores. I’ve personally always enjoyed hanging onto the “Q,” where it hangs there on your rack like some ultimate weapon of destruction, waiting for that all-enabling “U” tile to unleash its point-mongering wrath upon your opponents. Anyway, if your job sucks or you have a strange rash, join the tournament and those problems will, if only for a few hours, ease back into the recesses of your mind.



[UPS Rotunda, Wednesday, March 11, 6:30-8:30 p.m., $10, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, 253.383.3951]
