Then you'll want to check out the new Tacoma location for the drag show by Lupe Cervantes (aka Lupita "What's Love Got To Do With IT?" Cervantes, as Niki dubbed her), formerly of La Costa Mexican Restaurant, which was sold in June.

Lupita will be performing at the Rock (aka On The Rocks) on Fridays and Saturdays until a more permanent stage can be found.

I had a quick talk with Cervantes after hearing the show had found a new home.

Cole: "Describe your performance."
Cervantes: "You like to be entertaining to the people. People think I'm Tina Turner because I dress like her. You have to look like a woman, with the hair and makeup and nylons and the nails. Everything has to be perfect"
Cole: "It sounds like you look better than Tina Turner."
Cervantes: "I think so."

Lupita Cervantes at On The Rocks - 728 Pacific Ave.
Fridays: 9:30 p.m. show in English. 11:15 p.m. show in Spanish.
Saturdays: Both shows in Spanish.
