The B-Movie themed poster contest was well received… producing such never ran movies as Dino-riding Werewolves From Beyond Space, I Married an Alien Squid, ANTS! and Hirsute Cartoonist Overtakes T-Town (seen here).

Tacoma, WA 98405-1508. Look for the secret gathering behind the French doors just to the left of the stage. Dress for the heat. This month’s them is “B-Movie Posters You Wish Existed”. The challenge is to pitch your idea for the greatest B-Movie ever to our stellar room filled with studio executives. You will have just over an hour to create a poster comp to support your one-minute pitch.
The CLAW Enters the Man Cave of the Northwest Convergence Zone

Every Sunday, Big D, Double D, Wonderboy, Big Joe and Squeeze post a podcast that keeps the South Sound up to date on all that is happening in Tacoma’s musical and pop-culture scene. After Big D saw The CLAW host Tacoma’s 100 Monkeys, he just knew that they needed to be guests on the show. So on Sunday, July 15th The CLAW (represented by Elliot (Electric Elliot) Trotter, Adam Botsford and Mark Monlux) entered the Man Cave of The Northwest Convergence Zone.

Apparently the stars have aligned in the correct unholy configuration because today CLAW celebrates not ONE… not TWO… but three member’s birthdays. Please join me in spreading the joy to #6, #7 and #9 on the event of their extremely unlikely conjoined birthing miracle.
