What started out as an all-age show at The Red Room in downtown Tacoma last night became one of the best examples of why I love the 253. The concert began at 8 p.m. with a scheduled tear down at midnight, but a noise complaint cut the show off at 10 p.m. Instead of slicing set times for the Dead Peasants and The Taxpayers to squeeze in a headlining set for the Fun Police, the show moved into the Fun Police's neighboring practice space. Mighty cool of the Fun Police, who will drop their new album July 9 at D.O.A. on Sixth Avenue. - Steve Dunkelberger
