I’m a huge James Hume fan, so when he tells me this month’s Kulture Lab on Saturday, Jan. 24 is going to be a bizarre and incredibly amazing art event, I trust him. This month’s Kulture Lab holds a whole new arena for craziness in Tacoma. Not only do they

Being as how Seafarer is within walking distance of Cheney Stadium and open to minors until 9 p.m., I simply had to break Krista the Weekly Volcano’s intern in right — so I took her with me to do a Bar Exam at Seafarer’s Sports Bar & Grill. The part

I expected the folks at Fergie’s on the Ave on McKinley Hill to card me, but not for proof of legal drinking age. Asking to see my AARP card would’ve been more appropriate. Seventy-five percent of the almost full house during a mid-week lunch in Fergie’s Lounge was made up

In Texas we called ’em “icehouses.” And it meant you didn’t care if your hair was done or if your makeup looked purdy. They served the greasiest of caloric delicacies and the coldest, cheapest beer around. The fanciest of icehouses served Shiner Bock, which was a little pricier because it

It was a hard decision at Joeseppi’s Italian Ristorante this past week as I scanned their salad options that lay before me on the menu. After immediately omitting the standard house, spinach and Caesar salad options, I was left with two very good and very different salad paths. One was

I was like a kid in a candy store. Me being the kid, and Doug Mackey being the cherry sours I buy by the pound and eat by the handful. He had a sweet, shiny exterior, with a personality that begged to be consumed. Yet once my complex cherry sour

For years now, the outside of The Milton Tavern has been under construction. It’s looked like an utter and complete dive since my first time there more than 10 years ago. I’ve passed by there on a somewhat daily basis for about three years, and three years is almost how
