Garden Parties!
Tacoma’s “Growing Conversation” about the needs and potential of our local community gardens is taking shape with the promise of some action.
We learned last week that there are more community gardens in the greater Tacoma area that we initially thought. And several folks representing the different community garden efforts mentioned many opportunities to get a choice plot, but also the fact that even 20 minutes of someone pulling morning glories on a lunch break could be a huge help.
So, someone pondered, what about a roaming work party?
Something where folks could come once, come twice, or come all the time. Something where conversation about the future of Tacoma’s community gardening network can continue, while taking action to nurture what’s already here.
It’s in the works. So let’s keep talking, and get to work.
For more information, keep an eye on www.tacomagardens.com.
To get on the initial e-mail blast, send a note via the Tacoma Gardens’ contact page.

I think my jazz trio is 1/2 hip and indie.
We have not been signed to a major record label. Therefore we are “independent”
The hip way to say “independent” is “indie”
Hey, maybe we all the way there.

Onbroadway – I don’t know. We do some Afro-Cuban, some bop, some bossa, some blues, some funk and some originals that have been written in the past 5 years. We defy categorization. That’s hip right?
I forbid the wearing of zoot suits. The percussionist even has dreadlocks and sometimes wears a jamaican hat. This trio has a hipster intex of 58.7.
The other trio has a hipster index of 27.3.
I think that hipsters are simply “hip” to what is trendy or popular. This applies to drinks, shirts, pants, shoes, clubs, activities etc.
We’ll work on increasing our hipster index. Pay a little more attention to attire.
Then again, if hipster is a 1940 expression, then we’re way to modern for that.

Helio Sequence’s performance in Tollefson Plaza was nothing short of magical. Kudos to everyone involved for bringing them here.
The indie/hip comment was unfortunate in that it wasn’t exactly isolated. Did anyone else here the shouts to “look like you are having fun!”? Yikes.
