TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 2011 >>>

1. Bay Area residents Lynne Angel and Brian Gorman bring their polyrhythmic band Tartufi to The Evergreen State College's Activities Building for a 9 p.m. all-ages show with Romanteek. Their lush and weighty mix of sonic daydreams will be broadcasted live on KAOS 89.3FM.

2. If you missed Preston Singletary's big mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Glass last year, or if you saw that show and would like to see more of his works, this is your chance. William Traver Gallery in Tacoma now has an exhibition of new works by Singletary called Contents of a Dream, which is on display from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Singletary is one of the Northwest's most well respected Native American artists, known for creating traditional Tlingit art with contemporary materials, thus giving a modern cast to ancient art forms.

3. Love Color designs creator Abby has her first art show hanging at Caffe Dei on Sixth Avenue through the month. From 6-8 p.m. drop by the Tacoma coffee house for a reception featuring beer, wine and, of course, the 40 or so colorful framed photographic prints.

4. Bowling is a game devised for drinkers. You get up, you roll a ball, you sit down. You pound some beers and watch other people do the same. Then you repeat this cycle, all while wearing stupid shoes and knocking stuff down. It's like alcoholic heaven. The Chalet Bowl sweetens the deal every Tuesday with $2 games, $2 shoe rentals, $2 food items and $2.25 Rolling Rocks from 6-11 p.m.

5. Caboose James will add a little country to the Mandolin Cafe beginning at 6:30 p.m.
