Costner in Tacoma, Part VI

· Posted Friday August 17, 2007 by jamie

Part VI of ThriceAllAmerican’s journeys with Kevin Costner in Tacoma:

Ok, so maybe Costner spend a bunch of time down in the southlands of Stepford Dupont going to Starbucks and Farelli’s (hey, we have those things here, too!), but in the end, he made it known that there’s only one I-5 exit that he really cares about.

That’s right, Kevin Costner loves Tacoma!

Costner in Tacoma, Part V

· Posted Thursday August 16, 2007 by jamie

Part V of ThriceAllAmerican’s journeys with Kevin Costner in Tacoma:

Next stop, Cheney Stadium, where there was a bit of hobnobbing with the minor-leaguers.

Seems that Costner is doing a bit of scouting for a sequel to Field of Dreams called Field of Dreams 2: Shoeless in the City, wherein an apartment building owner, pressured to convert to condos by his peers, instead tears down several structures to put in a new ballpark. Nick Lachey is said to be on board for the soundtrack.

Tomorrow: Wherein we find out that Costner loves Tacoma!

Bonus!!!! Sharp-eyed reader Mitch appears to have spotted yet another Costner movie scouting excursion. And this one looks tasty!

Thanks, Mitch!

Last chance! Be like Mitch. Send pictures of your Costner “sightings” to costnerintacoma(at)thriceallamerican(dot)com.

Costner in Tacoma, Part IV

· Posted Wednesday August 15, 2007 by jamie

Part IV of ThriceAllAmerican’s journeys with Kevin Costner in Tacoma:

At this point, we got into the more pressing purposes for Costner’s visit, namely a favor a buddy had talked him into to help out with a little advertising campaign his company is working on. Costner, after all, is a big proponent for free speech…

I don’t even know what to say.

Tomorrow: Could Hollywood be on it’s way?

Costner in Tacoma, Part III

· Posted Tuesday August 14, 2007 by jamie

Part III of ThriceAllAmerican’s journeys with Kevin Costner in Tacoma:

As we headed back across the Tideflats after viewing the Kalakala, Costner expressed a certain interest in a Tacoma location he’d heard about on the news. So we pulled off along Puyallup Avenue, and a quick costume change later the stage was set for a photo-op. I’m not sure what to make of it all, but let’s just say that he’s not so good with that bow and I’m glad we were close enough to home to swing by for a change of underpants.

Tomorrow: Things get a bit political…

Costner in Tacoma, Part II

· Posted Monday August 13, 2007 by jamie

Part II of ThriceAllAmerican’s journeys with Kevin Costner in Tacoma:

After the Java Jive visit, Costner was ready to get down to business. And the first order of business involved a certain neglected Art Deco ferry hiding away in one of Tacoma’s waterways. That’s correct, it seems Costner had taken an interest in checking out the Kalakala. It wasn’t immediately clear to me, but I only speculate that he was considering a purchase, and wanted to check it out. And check it out he did…

Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to happy with the condition of the craft. And I can’t even begin to fathom why he insisted on carrying around that harpoon…

Tomorrow: We briefly fear for our lives…

Costner in Tacoma, Part I

· Posted Sunday August 12, 2007 by jamie

The News Tribune is buzzing about Kevin Costner’s flight into Tacoma Narrows Airport on Friday and various “star sightings” around town at such fancy-pants locations as the EQC and the Dupont Starbucks. (Inquiring minds want to know: which Dupont Starbucks? Ok, maybe “inquiring minds” don’t really care…) Heck, the paper is even looking for reader tips regarding where he’s been and what he’s up to. Maybe we’re a small town after all, getting so excited over a visiting actor, even a washed up one like Costner… But what the News Tribune doesn’t know is that ThriceAllAmerican was given exclusive access to tag along with Costner, his wife Christine Baumgartner, and their entire entourage to see what they were up to. And let me tell, you, it was a whirlwind visit! As such, all this week, we’ll be bringing you highlights from the visit.

Those following the story closely—all 7 of you—are doubtless wondering: what’s with the guitar?

(Previously posted photo removed at the request of The News Tribune…just imagine a picture of Kevin Costner getting into a car in front of an airplane, while someone in the background is carrying a guitar case…)

As noted in the TNT article, Costner is something of a rock musician, and what self-respecting musician could visit Tacoma without swinging by the world famous Bob’s Java Jive. Unfortunately for Costner, it was early, and the kettle wasn’t open for business. But he was determined, so we were treated to an impromptu concert outside—they even busted out the microphones. I couldn’t hear anything over the traffic noise from South Tacoma Way and the Nalley Valley Viaduct, but he looked to be having fun…

Tomorrow: Be sure to come back for part two of Costner in Tacoma, where we visit a Northwest icon. And there is a bit of yelling.
