Bleak Outlook Volume 3 - March 20-22 - City Wide Tacoma DIY

DISCLAIMER: if you work for any sort of blog, local newspaper print media whatever. Please contact me before spreading the word about this weekend or reposting this blog. Some of the venues do not need extra attention. In fact this whole weekend doesn't need extra attention. It's for Tacoma. Thank you. Seriously though, I will put a hex on you.

WHO: tacoma
WHAT: bands. friends. tacoma.
WHERE: tacoma
WHEN: march 20-22
WHY: tacoma

Q: Will there be door covers for these shows?
A: If not listed assume there is an expectation that you will come prepared to gift some performing artists a small monetary measurement of prevailing currency.

Q: How did you get all of these awesome bands to agree to come to crappy old Tacoma? Bribery? Coercion? Idle threats? Tickle threats?
A: NONE OF THE ABOVE. All of these bands BEGGED to play this 3rd installment of Bleak Outlook and were all put through a rigorous series of games and contests to win the favor of this festival curator. This truly is the best of the best and they fought tooth and nail to be here.
