We're hearing really good things about the coffee and food up at the new Liv Cafe and Bistro, which opened recently at St. Philip's Plaza. The place puts an emphasis on local and healthy food and is part of a sort of renaissance going on at the ages old shopping center.

There's more on the cafe here, or you can check them out on that Facebook thing over here.

• Harold Potts made this batch of hashish from a small pile of kief in 30 minutes.

If you've been smoking all the kief (powdery pollen and/or resin particles from marijuana plants) that collects in your MMJ grinder, stop right there. There's a better use for it. You can make hashish in less than half an hour from a turkey roasting bag, paper and cellophane tape. Yes, hashish. Here's how Tucson MMJ patient Harold Potts did it during a recent demonstration at Tumbleweeds Health Center:

Tonight on Arizona Illustrated's Political Roundtable: Jonathan Paton, Rodd McLeod and Andrea Kelly join me to talk about the legislative session, the latest in the GOP race for president, President Obama's upcoming trip to Arizona and whether TUSD has banned books related to Mexican-American Studies. Tune in at 6:30 p.m. on Channel 6 or check back here for when we post it online.

Electric Guest are a group that seem poised to be a big deal. LA taste-maker station KCRW featured one of their songs as a "Top Tune", their debut album (coming out on April 24) is on cool kids label Downtown Records and is produced by Danger Mouse. Also, Asa Taccone from the group is the brother of Saturday Night Live writer Jorma Taccone, and he wrote the music for the classic Digital Shorts "Dick in a Box" and "Motherlover", which are certainly intended to be jokes, but actually have some solid musical chops as songs.

Electric Guest are scheduled to play Club Congress on March 20th as part of the annual "Let's make some money on our way to and from SXSW" portion of the Tucson concert calendar.

Sublime is coming to Tucson. Sort of.

While Sublime is best known as the popular ska-punk band of the 'late 90s, their name was changed to "Sublime with Rome" when Rome Ramirez took over as frontman after Bradley Nowell's death. Though most die-hard fans (no pun intended) agree that Ramirez can't take his place, many may be OK with the fact that Sublime's music lives on.

Can Ramirez hold a candle to Nowell? You decide.

Tickets are available starting Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. For more information, visit the Rialto's website.

Democrat Nancy Young Wright has made it official: She's running for the Pima County Board of Supervisors.

Wright is seeking the seek of the retiring District 1 Supervisor Ann Day, who represents the Catalina Foothills and Oro Valley areas.

The Republican-leaning district has drawn a crowd of potential GOP candidates, including former GOP national committeeman Mike Hellon, Tea Party activist Ally Miller and Stuart McDaniel, a mortgage broker who worked on Republican Jesse Kelly's unsuccessful effort to unseat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords last year. State Rep. Vic WIlliams is also considering a run in the GOP primary.

The press release from Wright, after the jump:

Presidential candidate Richard Grayson, who is running as a Green in Arizona's Feb. 28 presidential primary, offers a new policy proposal: Deport all Republicans!

Here's Grayson's statement:

If by some fluke, I'm elected President, the first thing I will do is to take steps to make the United States great again by deporting all of those who've ruined our country, and the great state of Arizona, in recent years:

That's right, I plan to deport all Republicans.

I know what you're saying: "Richard, you're a liberal lawyer and a college professor who's taught constitutional history, not an ignorant asshole like Russell Pearce and the others who think that the Fourteenth Amendment's right to birthright citizenship can be taken away. How can you 'deport' American citizens? What country would you deport them to? And how could you do this without violating dozens of the Republicans' constitutional rights from due process to equal protection?"

I understand these concerns, of course. And though I would move as quickly as possible to deport all Republicans — it's not wise to keep vermin around your house any longer than necessary — I would not deport them to any foreign country.

Instead, I would launch a crash program, a kind of Manhattan Project, to get our most brilliant scientists to create a viable way to send people back into the past. Time travel will allow me to deport the Republicans to what is, indeed, American soil — but they'd be deported back to the eighteenth century!

And this, of course, would get around the problem of denying Republicans' constitutional rights. The GOP — soon to be G-O-N-E — would voluntarily self-deport to the 1700s.

Unfortunate news today in the world of Tucson retail, as the owner of Bohemia, an "emporium" of largely local crafts and creations (and a Best of Tucson® winner for Best Art/Artisan Jewelry), announced the store closed permanently last night.

From Facebook:

I have been searching for the right words to say today, but the only appropriate thing that keeps coming to mind is thank you and thank you. I am so sad to say that Bohemia had to close last night. There are many layers and factors that came into play and I apologize that I could not make the plans public until now. It is heartbreaking to be there and gone, but it had to be.

There are so many emotions as Bohemia was more than just a business to me and, I hope, to you. Alas, it was a business and the end is an unfortunate sign of the times. These years have been an incredible journey and I thank you for the lessons and successes and experiences that were part of the Bohemia world. I will miss having them on a daily basis, but know they can exist in other forms.

I implore you to continue your support of local artists, local business and all things home-grown. It is essential for our community (locally and beyond) to rebound and recover. I encourage you to contact me via email ([email protected]) or phone (520-882-0800) if you would like information about the shop or an artists that we worked with. I am happy to help keep this movement going in a different way.

Again, thank you for all the beauty, creative joy, tears and love. You help make Tucson so very special.
