Tacoma, WA · Calendar of the SoundWhere the Sound Lives
From mid-week open mics to weekend headliners, Tacoma’s music has been a living conversation for decades. This is where to find tonight’s show, tomorrow’s open mic, and the artists writing the next chapter of our city’s sound.
Drink & Food Spiking — Protecting People ProfessionallyHave a REAL good time.
Desire is natural — drugs that induce desire violate your consent. Protect yourself & friends: know the signs of food & drink spiking & get to know the symptoms of the drugs used in case something happens. Eg: New & deadly: Cychlorphine — KING 5 NEWS
We gather to celebrate.
We also gather to look out for one another.
Drink spiking, knowing the signs of manipulation, image-based abuse, coercive partners, isolation tactics — these don't only happen "somewhere else." They happen at the bars, parties, and shows we love most. THE WALL is built on the premise that the people who show up to enjoy live music also need to know what to watch for, where to go if something happens, and how to look out for the person next to them.
Conservatively, 1 in 10 women have had a drink spiked — and the real number sits above it, since most victims never find out. GHB clears the body in ~12 hours — know the signs, act fast.
Gaslighting · DARVO · love bombing · isolation — manipulation patterns to spot before they escalate. For yourself, and the person next to you.
Non-consensual photos, deepfakes, and "revenge" sharing are crimes in WA. Know your rights and the steps to take if you're targeted.
