Comment on Red light cameras in Tacoma, part II

Don't even get me started on cops sitting on the side of the road with radar guns... my blood pressure is rising just thinking about it.

Keep on scootin on..

How can I rock if you rock?

I'm wichu! I see no good reason to make a cop's job of monitoring traffic any easier than it already is (sitting on the side of the road with a radar gun, for example). With that, I'm off to read "Tacoma: Scootertown USA."

You rock, AP - J.

Comment on Seattle Sonics, Ray Allen, Howard Schultz (in that order)

It's official: the Sonics are leaving Seattle for Oklahoma City. What a joke. My boycott of Starbuck's is now officially underway. I am going to avoid buying any more Starbuck's products, and I encourage everyone else in Tacoma to try and do the same to the best of their ability.

I realize it's hard to avoid Starbuck's altogether, but you can certainly try your hardest to minimize the intake of their products. This company is already struggling to exist in this economy to the point of closing a large amount of stores, re-branding, eliminating breakfast sandwiches recently introduced to thousands of stores, switching away from whole milk... who knows what else is in store for Howard Schultz and company? As they struggle to survive, we the people can take matters in our own hands. We can screw him just like he screwed us.

Tully's, Metropolitan Market, Satellite, Forza, Austin Chase, or your local mom n' pop outfit. ANYTHING before Starbuck's!

Howard Schultz, you are a complete douche bag. I hope somebody TP's your car on the 4th of July.

Thanks, Tommy Boy! Let's see.. how can I make this relevant to the lecture at hand? Howard Schultz sucks, and don't think I'm not still pissed at you too, Wally Walker.

There.

Comment on Floater plays Tacoma on June 21st

The cattle gate jammed in your ribs can be a wonderful experience. Floater is the greatest band of all time. Thanks for writing, Mandy. Maybe you can make it up for Seattle on July 19th?

I freaking love Floater. They're concerts rock. When they made it down to central Oregon last, I loved, loved, LOVED listening to them rock our local hall. Even though I in the front row, smashed against the cattle gate...

I need to make it back up to Tacoma to see them again in Hells Kitchen. That was a great concert too.

Floater and I go all the way back to college. They WERE my college crush.

Comment on Knapp's Lounge

The truth is, J-Man, you would like Knapp's.

If only they had a full Rock Band setup.. instant "best lounge in Tacoma" status! You'd need to rent one of the apartments upstairs if that ever happened. Would be a hellish commute for you, however.
