Brewpub4u owner Duane Woytonik has built a rather stellar contraption that can brew and then serve eight different beers on tap and hold a 60-gallon pot of chili. I know! Crazy. On his website he refers to it as the "8th wonder of the world." Here's the part that makes beer lovers

There is a quiet and dignified exhibition of photographs in the small entryway of The Gallery at Tacoma Community College. The photographs are pretty traditional and not very exciting, but they are nicely done. One in particular, Lake Washington Bridge by Jim Oliver, does wonderful things with water and shadows.

Over the last decade, Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle have taken steps to support and encourage youth appreciation of, and engagement with, the aural and cinematic arts.

It's pissing rain and I'm hung over. Not exactly ideal conditions for a rip-roaring night at downtown Tacoma's Club Silverstone. Luckily, Club Silverstone doesn't need my help to have a bumping Saturday night. The weather and my hangover aside, the club is packed. Eclectically packed. Every nook and cranny is crowded

Bad perms, stretch pants and cheesy synthesizers made the 1980s a shameful musical era, but suddenly it's cool for DJs to spin New Wave, camp and goth before questionably fashionable crowds again. The gay-friendly Mix will don a neon sweatband this Saturday for a night of big hair, bright colors

Education
Music has been proven to help raise grades, develop language skills, teach discipline and encourage independence and growth amongst students. It is no wonder than why so many middle and high schools offer band, orchestra, marching band and jazz band to their students. Some elementary schools also offer band normally

It's been awhile since we last stumbled into Rhythm and Rye for its Monday night Jazz Lounge Series, mainly because we're leading a lifestyle that discourages partying on days that don't begin with an F or an S. There are, however, many folks whose responsibilities don't begin until late in
