Okay in Tacoma - August 14th and 15th
Exit133 and The Helm are proud to present two solo performances by Berkeley-based singer/songwriter Marty Anderson. A local legend of sorts, Marty is best known in Tacoma as the front man of Dilute; a jazz influenced indie rock band that played a couple of highly memorable local shows a few years ago. More recently, Marty has been playing pop based music under the pun-lending name of Okay. Less experimental than Dilute, Okay offers classically structured pop songs and impossibly catchy melodies, which are uniquely delivered in Anderson’s obscure but charming wail. Without a doubt this should be the most relevant and interesting indie performance to hit Tacoma all summer.
Tuesday, August 14th, Okay will play a 21 and over show at Bob’s Java Jive with San Juan (ex-Eyes of Autumn) and Whiting Tennis. Doors will be open at 8PM. Tickets cost $10.
Wednesday, August 15th, Okay will play an all ages show at Club SOTA with The Elephants, Wallpaper, and Tree Roots in the Basement. Doors will open at 7PM. Tickets cost $15 presale and $20 at the door.
Buy your tickets today from Blackwater Café (747 Fawcett) or online at BrownPaperTickets.com.

The picture doesn’t do this place justice. It’s actually quite cute from the outside, IMHO. And not much lawn to take care of! (Who knows what “charm” the inside might hold, though…)

Wow that’s cheap! That would be a fantastic steal assuming it didn’t turn out to be a money pit (which is probably why it’s priced the way it is).

Most lots in Tac go for at least that. It’s over 600sq ft so it’s financiable even. Best deal in town imo. Money pit? Nah.

Pierce County records show that it’s currently under Fannie Mae ownership, so someone must have defaulted. For some reason the records don’t show earlier sales (too old, I guess) but Zillow reveals the last sale was in 1995 for a whopping $19k.
