You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.

In case you missed it, Soundlifers Ed, Bill and EJ compiled a handy round-up of local sports bars that are good bets for watching the Super Bowl.

They tackle (mwah ha ha) the subject from a food and entertainment perspective so you don't end up watching fantastic TVs while tolerating mediocre grub.

Go Giants! Yeah, I said it.

Who knew that GritCity attracted such young readers? Eight-year-old Colton sent us a tip about this week’s episode of Nickelodeon's “iCarly.”

Turns out, an annoying guest character is from – you guessed it – Tacoma.

(I'll be sure to take this up with "iCarly" star Miranda Cosgrove at the next gathering of Cosgroves.)

Here are a few excerpts from the show:

Spencer: Where's Freddie and that girl?
Carly: Freddie went home.
Sam: And we finally got rid of Mandy.
Carly: Someone needs to take that chick to the whacky shack.
Spencer: She lives here in Seattle?
Sam: No, but way too close.
Carly: She's from Tacoma – she made her aunt drive her all the way here so she could be on the show.
