The art movement

I read in the newspaper all of the time about how the city of Tacoma and its investors are doing everything they can to bring people downtown. They’re busy building condos; merchants are moving in; restaurants are cropping up all over the place. That’s all great, and I really, really appreciate

Hiding out in Tacoma

Two hundred thousand people. Give or take a few, that’s how many T-town hustlers there are. Lately, I feel like I know all of them — or at least the ones who party on a regular or even semi-regular basis. Just like Tupac’s song said, “No matter where I go, I see the

Hot, hot. hot

My oh my, you rowdy readers, I’m sorry to report that I’ve done you a major disservice. I’ve been planning on hitting up this one particular weekly event ever since I started throwing down in this fine rag, but time rapidly got away from me, and you may have missed out

These boots are made for ...

Bootsy McGhee. Some say that’s me. There are people in this world who collect all sorts of things — stamps, baseball cards, automobiles and the like.

Tacoma’s blowing up

Lately I’ve been taking note of an epidemic that’s sweeping Tacoma’s nightlife: It’s freakin’ blowin’ up. I went to the Pacific Grill for lunch, and there wasn’t a seat open in the house.

Tacoma after hours

It’s quite a shame that our nightlife fun always has to end at 2 a.m. Stupid rules. That’s why I firmly believe in always having a refrigerator with at least a case of beer. Girls like me are constantly prepared, like a quick draw in a Western standoff, because you just
