Last evening I was driving down to Pacific from Tacoma avenue to grab some food and i look to my right and to my shock and horror, the Embellish mountain-scape-graffiti mural was being painted over with a gray background. I pulled over, I barely had the ability to park because i guess i was very confused because a new piece is going up right at this very moment!
There were several guys finishing individual pieces at standing level and they told me to come back today (Sunday) because i’ll be able to get better pictures and it’s going to be the bigger of the 2 day makeover.
Let’s hope it’s as hot as the last one! who wants to tailgate this thing with me?

I’ve been a vegetarian for as long as I can remember.
Since someone asked in another part of the forum where a good place for a vegetarian breakfast was, I decided to recommend some places that I know of that cater to vegetarians. The key to living as a veggie, is that you must understand that not everybody wants to be one. so it’s to be expected that not every restaurant has veggie options per say, but they will gladly oblige you when you ask for no meat.

Last night Nick Rall, John Hodgson, Char Edson. & co. put on a pre-halloween ball to benefit the humane society.
the night included performances from the mercy pirates, comittee for public safety, paris spleen and the elephants.

Last night a couple of friends tipped us off to the grand opening of the newest sushi joint in town “Sushi Revolution.” Upon hearing that this is the type of place that involves a carosel and rediculous amounts of sushi up for human consumption, we were pretty excited.

This video pretty much sums up how everyone feels.

Earlier today, we were only able to drool on the opposite side of the glass. That is, until Hello, Cupcake opened it’s doors. I went down for the “soft” opening this afternoon with a friend. Hello, Cupcake is truly a fiest for the eyes. A gourmet cupcake shop smack dab in the middle of all the downtown commotion, right on Pacific Ave near South Sound Running and the UW bookstore. Don’t look for a huge sign proclaiming CUPCAKES! because the giant pink picture of a cupcake sitting out on the sidewalk will guide you to this location.

Celebrity gossip guru perezhilton of perezhilton.com posted pictures of Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minillo on his blog recently. The decision to come to Tacoma and participate in AAA baseball got Lachey officially dubbed “C-lister.”
The pair flew into Tacoma and landed at the Tacoma Narrows Airport. If you are into Celebrities, this is definitely the place to get your paparazzo cam out and wait.wait.wait.wait because that’s the place to spot them coming in.

This is a quick stop-start animation video of my day around Tacoma. featuring such hotspots as: the intersection between 6th and Sprague, The Harvester restaurant, and some shots over on the Thea Foss. enjoy!
