Monkeyshines Celebrates the Year of the Rat
For the fifth straight year, an anonymous Tacoma art project that calls itself Monkeyshines will be placing about 200 hand-blown glass balls throughout the streets and neighborhoods of Tacoma on the eve of the Chinese New Year. When’s that? February 7th is the first day of the Year of the Rat.
Are you ready?

went out hunting this morning. stuck it out from 5.30-7am. came home empty handed. met lots of young kids and 60-somethings that had lots of success finding glass balls… cracked ourselves up whispering “are you looking for balls?” to strangers all over tacoma in the darkest, stormiest hours of the morning!
exciting to see the diversity of “hunters” and to hear where the balls were found… finding a ball would have been tops, but it was just as fun to meet other tacomans who smiled and unzipped jackets to show us their treasures!
