Don't look

I first became aware of Bil Fleming’s art when he had a really nice drawing in a juried show at South Puget Sound Community College last year. Now he offers two interactive sculptural installations in the Capitol Theater: “The Projectionists’ Gardens” and “Reverse Psychology.” Depending on your state of mind

Sushi class

Sushi and you The last time I attempted to make sushi at home, I wound up with sticky rice in my hair and on the cat. So you might just see me at Twokoi Japanese Cuisine Wednesday, Nov. 17, when Twokoi owner and executive chef Jackie Young Koh will host a

Appasionato and the fish

Appasionato Salon I attended a sweet youth party at Appassionato last week. Their image studio is tucked back in a remodeled house off Pacific Highway in Fife. When I realized these were some of the same ladies that had Remedy 450 (formerly located on St. Helens in Tacoma) I immediately signed

Enoteca

I am continuously surprised at what I overlook that’s right in plain sight and within what I call the “sweet zone,” meaning everything within a five-mile radius of my residence. I’ve known Enoteca was on Tacoma Avenue in the Stadium District for most of this year (almost since opening in

Dusty martini

As I begin writing my column this week, I must warn you. Someone has wronged me, and the result has plunged me deep into a state of extreme irritation. So my tone may be a little more bitter than normal, but please bear with me. By the time this publishes,

Hell's Kitchen's Redheaded Slut

Halloween is creeping around the corner like a Commerce Street guttersnipe in search of a bag of cans. Spooky, eh? I love Halloween.

"Holes" has very few gaps

I must be honest. I was a little worried about “Holes” when I first saw the stage. In an effort for full disclosure, I’ll give you the full story: My daughter is showing signs of liking being on the stage as much as she does watching shows, so she auditioned for

Creepy crawl your way to Scary Day!

So what if the Weekly Volcano can’t go screaming around the streets of its neighborhood on Halloween night anymore, begging for candy, wrapped in a sheet that’s not fit to be strapped to a bed? The Weekly Volcano — or at least those of us who can no longer squeeze

Terrifying Tacoma

Want to see something really scary? For those of you bored to tears by sensationalized gore, there is still plenty to be afraid of in the City of Destiny. Jigsaw’s maniacal machinations shouldn’t be nearly as terrifying as Sound Transit’s plan to send dozens of trains per day across Pacific

Sometimes ear hair is a good thing. When that ear hair is inner ear hair, or, more technically, inner ear hair cells, electrical impulses tell your brain you’re hearing something good. You might be hearing good things like children’s laughter, early spring birdsong, or possibly the tranquil sounds of 550 drum kits
