Hurricane Ike hit my hometown of Houston, Texas, a couple of weeks ago. Just as my dad began to repair the fence and pick up the roof shingles that were strewn about his street, I decided to interrogate my very own Hurricane Ike — Ike Shanaman. According to a few

It’s in a strip mall, it’s in Bonney Lake, and there were homegrown-looking men loitering around the front door’s bushes. New Peking Chinese Restaurant off Hwy 410 had all of those things, but it was the “Lounge” sign that peaked The KAke and my interest. We naturally assumed by all

After establishing the fact that “and Lounge” at the end of a restaurant’s title usually means “dive bar inside,” there’s been no problem finding bar exam victims. What lies inside these seemingly seedy establishments has surprised my bar exam team as of late. Cleanliness, beer variety, and friendly conversation have

They reek of dead fish, yet they’re hotties nonetheless. Tourists and locals alike stand close enough to witness the fish-throwing action, and far enough back to stay out of the fishmongers’ way. Most visitors would be mortified to catch a fish in such a popular and heavily populated venue, but

Matt Driscoll and I split the emcee duties on the Weekly Volcano Rock Stage last Saturday at the Point Defiance Music Festival. I had to take the morning shift seeing as how Matt had his sperm donation appointment that morning. I know what you’re thinking, “Oh, great, just what Tacoma

This good ol’ girl from Texas grew up around dead, man-killed animals. Every boy I ever dated had to be at least 6 feet tall, play football, and have a six-point buck mounted above his fireplace. It was a trip down my testosterone-adoring younger days when I ran into gun-toting-hottie
