Tacoma Gnome

The TacomaGnome is a blogging online entity and a force to be reckoned with. I usually find his Norwegian-influenced interviews to be nothing less than cleverly thought out and insurmountably hilarious. This time, I was able to be the interviewer, and he the interviewee — something this tiny garden gnome

DIVE IN: Golden West Restaurant and Lounge

Bandito and I opted to play it safe when ordering food from Golden West Restaurant and Lounge on South Tacoma Way, and stuck with items that even Marilyn Manson couldn’t fuck up. Like grilled cheese and a club sandwich. Sounds like an easy order, right?   Not necessarily.   Neesie

Banned Book Club

Damn Judy Blume suckered me in at an early age with Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Superfudge. Next thing you know I’m hiding underneath the covers, secretly reading Forever by flashlight. The kids totally “do it” in that book. I think I can blame her version of teenage

The Fiesty Knitters

Not all the feisty yarn whores were in attendance, but I did manage to catch the craziest of the crazy at their weekly bitch-n-stitch last Sunday. I can’t tell you at what secret location I met up with The Feisty Knitters, for fear they’d stab me in the throat with

DIVE IN: Summit Pub

I never would’ve known that anything cool existed south of 512 on Canyon Road if Matt Driscoll had bathed that day. While the Weekly Volcano offices reeked a foul combination of baby poop and sweaty socks, I headed out for cold beers and meaty sandwiches at Summit Pub.

TROUBLE WITH DEROSA: Terry Wong

There are three women who own Urban Gourmet on Sixth Avenue in Tacoma. The lucky one who was on the clock during my last visit was Terry Wong. She’s never had a problem chatting it up with me when I’ve dropped in before, but wouldn’t you know as soon as

DIVE IN: Spuds Pizza Parlor

I’ve had to deal with some incredibly high-maintenance females lately, so I decided this week I’d hang out with a few non-hormonal men for my Bar Exam. I invited three drama-free dudes to meet me at Spud’s Pizza Parlor for lunch, and they happily obliged. Since I had

TROUBLE WITH DEROSA: James Hume

I’m a huge James Hume fan, so when he tells me this month’s Kulture Lab on Saturday, Jan. 24 is going to be a bizarre and incredibly amazing art event, I trust him. This month’s Kulture Lab holds a whole new arena for craziness in Tacoma. Not only do they

DIVE IN: Seafarers Sports Bar & Grill

Being as how Seafarer is within walking distance of Cheney Stadium and open to minors until 9 p.m., I simply had to break Krista the Weekly Volcano’s intern in right — so I took her with me to do a Bar Exam at Seafarer’s Sports Bar & Grill. The part
