The next season of HBO's "Entourage" is upon us, and I haven't been having much luck with my ill-advised search for local entourages. We ran an invitation in that print thingy we do. But I thought maybe a post might help generate some interest.

Here's the idea: Tell me about your entourage. Who's your Vinny Chase? Who's your Drama? Who's your Turtle? Your Eric? Do you have an Ari? If you have characters in your squad who correlate – even roughly – to any or all of those in the show, or if you just want to brag a bit about how you and your friends roll, drop me a line at bill.hutchens@thenewstribune.com. The invitation is open to men and women. Send photos - the type we can publish in family newspaper. I can't promise not to judge you. I can't even promise to try not to judge you. But, as Bart Simpson once said, "I'll try to try."

The legal stuff goes a little something like this: submissions become the property of The News Tribune and may be reprinted in any form.

I covered the South Tacoma Business District Association's 12th Annual Classic Car Show Saturday, but I didn't get these pictures in time for the print edition.

Take a look at these shots, taken by judge Taanya Tucker, to see why they won.

There were about 300 cars at the show, all of them worthy of trophies. But this '37 Ford custom convertible caught the judges' attention – and mine:
