Hi Jack

So, who better to help ring in a year that is sure to be one of the most memorable and tumultuous we’ve seen in decades? How about Lynn Di Nino, backed by Doug Mackey and Laura and Matt Ecklund? Yeah, cosmic shit’s going down on New Year’s, and it’s called

Business blast

I really, really love the snow. If there’s enough of it, the world is transformed into a sort of liminal, bizarro version of itself. Looking out the window of my office at home, everything is blessedly quiet and barren. Everything that appears takes on a sort of exaggerated significance. Seeing

Winter wake up

I’m wrestling with how to describe The Christmas Revels, which is usually a good sign. I like art that can’t be easily filed. Part live theater, part cultural showcase, part seasonal celebration, part music and madness, and part dance-a-thon, this year’s Christmas Revels will take onlookers on a journey to

It’s a miracle. No, seriously. Tacoma has an art co-op, with housing and everything.    You have the people at Northwest Stage to thank; and a generous property owner, a bunch of creative types, and an amazing young woman who just had a baby. While forming an art co-op. In Tacoma.  The Tacoma
