This type of ish DOESN'T happen everyday, to modify Slick Rick's famous phrase from his classic duet with Doug E. Fresh, "Lodi Dodi."

One of the endearing things about the Tacoma music scene is the longevity of the musicians and the love the town still has for them. The band that now sports the name of The Fucking Eagles is a prime example. Their live show reminds one of a '50s sock hop

Folk, jazz, to late night and sultry blues - Carolyn Cruso has a varied resume. Hailing from the Hudson River Valley of New York State, she now calls the misty shores of Orcas Island home, so the jaunt to Tacoma's A Rhapsody in Bloom Wednesday will be a shorter commute.

Bordering the Lacey, Olympia city limits is the Hawks Prairie region. Also known as Johnson Point, Hawk's Prairie is a matrimony of sleepy residential areas, forested outdoor attractions and pockets of business districts including downtown Lacey.

There has been a great disturbance in the Force. I first profiled Don Sucher and his one-of-a-kind shop in Aberdeen three years ago, when the hottest news in the Star Wars universe was season four of Clone Wars on Cartoon Network. Then came a day that will long be remembered:

Getting back to nature on a camping adventure doesn't have to be all about bugs, smelly old sleeping bags, wonky tents and soggy bland eats. There's a new camping choice in town (and throughout the world!) that takes the "rough" out of "roughing it," and boy, does it mean it! Welcome
