The ever-popular Art Bus rolls on this Thursday. What's that, you say? You've never been on the Art Bus? You don't even know what the Art Bus is??  For the uninitiated, the Art Bus is a tour of art exhibitions and galleries around Tacoma. But it's really so much more than that. Every excursion on the Art Bus has a different local celebrity tour guide - ranging from "big" names such as Laugh-Master Doug Mackey (who is paying me to continually refer to him in print as "Laugh-Master") to small fish, such as Mayor Marilyn Strickland - free pizza from Puget Sound Pizza, games, prizes and a "bus-load of fun" (well, it's not like you could call it a "submarine-load of fun"). The tentative schedule for this month's Art Bus is as follows: Freighthouse Square, Clara Spa, Proctor Art Gallery, Tacoma Glass Blowing Studio, 253 Collective, Brick House Gallery, Embellish Multispace Salon, Hilltop Heat Concert Series and Bleach. Tickets are $10, or $20 for VIP (includes VIP bag), and will be available shortly at brownpapertickets.com.
