With so many Mardi gras parties to choose, you'll most likely find yourself in a bit of a party-picking pickle. Sometimes, when making decisions like these, the advice of your friends, family and Charlie Sheen just doesn't cut it. You may want to consider consulting some outside help - of the occult persuasion. We completed its eight easy installments of $12.95 to join Tee Hee's Psychic Alliance back in 2002 (who helped Larry King pick out his last six wives). But whichever feral, esoteric higher power you choose to consult (Magic 8-ball, Ouija board, etc.), remember to use the knowledge from beyond wisely. If consulting a higher power is not your thing, come down to our level. The Harmon Tap Room hosts a Fat Tuesday party with the Southern Comfort Promo Girls, a best mask contest with $50 prize money (7 p.m.), an all-you-can-eat Southern style buffet ($15), commemorative 18-ounce chalice for $10, Jello shots, beads, prizes, swag and more. 

FAT TUESDAY, 6 p.m. to close, Harmon Tap Room, 204 St. Helens, Tacoma, no cover, 253.212.2725
