Urban Arts Festival A Success

Weather could not have been any better for this years Urban Arts Festival. Located at Firemans Park in downtown Tacoma hippies, goths, rockers, drunks, kids, grandmas, and even stilt walkers converged. It was an event that truly brought together people who care and love Tacoma. The stages this year looked amazing, I thought the greenery worked really well. Next year I would like to see more local food establishments taking part though. Sure the taste of Tacoma was the same weekend but the quality of the carnival food that is offered at the Taste is terrible. Great job everyone who helped make this festival a success.

Urban Arts Festival 2008

June 29th, 2008 is Urban Arts Festival, we went last year and had a great time not familiar with what the Urban Arts Festival is? Heres some blurbage from their homepage:

The Urban Art Festival is an all ages celebration of music, DJs, performance art fashion and hand crafted goods.While showcasing some of the best pacific NW talents, the UAF is a wonderful opportunity for emerging artists and performers. Consider the Urban Art Festival your outlet for artistic desires. It’s not uncommon to see a Glassblower or Graffiti artists creating live at the Tacoma’s Urban Art Festival. Did we mention it’s FREE! Come spend the day with us at Fireman’s Park in downtown Tacoma.

Best Places in Tacoma with Wifi

You really don’t realize how nice wifi is until you don’t have it now. Laptops have reached a point in size that I usually have mine on me all the time. Since offering wireless internet for customers is reaching a standard I don’t really get many crazy looks anymore when I take out my laptop at bars and start dorking around on the net. Sure coffee shops are the usual places which offer this amazing free service, but what other places have you found have free wifi?

Sometimes you just don’t feel like a mocha but instead want to work over a beer. This is where The Hub or Meconis have been there to fulfill this need. Both places offer power as well if you hunt enough to find it

So heres my list of favorite Places in Tacoma with free Wifi

• The Hub
• Meconis
• The Harmon
• Satellite Coffee
• Blackwater
• One Heart Cafe
• Wright Park
• The Tempest

What are some of your favorite places with Wifi?

Satellite Coffee

I’m sure you’ve been here its that gem located on Division and I…. you probably get caffeinated here daily if you don’t go to Blackwater. It’s small and can fit about 5 comfortably you won’t find 10 laptopheads sitting drinking drip all day instead it has more of a beehive feel. People in and People out. Why do I like Satellite Coffee? I’d say because there is no bullshit… I’m constantly annoyed by some of the coffee-flys at other coffeeshops but here at Satellite there is little of this If you enjoy good coffee give Satellite a try, they have sorta slow service because they are perfectionists but thats ok for me.
