If you know Lynn Di Nino, you know she's a quirky Tacoma artist who always makes a big splash in whatever she does - from the 100th Monkeys parties, to rolling heads downhill on First Night, to her Suitcase Sightings. I still have fond memories of her Postcard Party from many years ago in which guests designed a postcard ahead of time and brought it with them. Later, you were MAILED (that's right, snail mail!) someone else's amazing piece of creativity. One of Di Nino's ongoing projects is the monthly Tripod Slideshow. The July 19 edition is titled "Quirky Tacoma," and features images submitted by both amateurs and professionals of quirky, iconic or offbeat images of Tacoma. Laugh-master Doug Mackey emcees the show, which is divided in three sections. About 200 pictures will be shown on a digital projector, and NOT an actual slide projector, because that would be almost as antiquated as, say, sending something by snail mail
