It is true, GritCity has a new contributor, and it is me, the intern.

I guess it is a dream come true of sorts. Long ago, I added the GritCity page on my Facebook. Once I found out about getting the internship here, I longed to have my neck included in the collective strangling that made the Grit posters seem so cool.

I am from Spokane, and never had that much contact with Tacoma. All I really knew was related to a fantastic falafel wrap I had at a local Greek restaurant a few years back and the Junior Assembly (I think that is what it was called) dance I randomly went to in high school.

Yep, Mediterranean food and awkward high schoolers, that was my impression of Tacoma.

But now I am in a crew of new TNT interns, with little knowledge of the city and a few hours of free time a week. So, I was hoping everyone could do me a favor. Tell me what the interns and I should do. What can we do to experience the real Tacoma – and not just Chihuly and meth. Let me know, I'll pick an idea and report back.

Also, the post title reminded me of this movie. Charlie Sheen + goatee + random West Wing actors = fantastic crap.
