From the Ennyman:

“The setting, as I noted previously, was spectacular, the weather cooperating with enthusiasm. And the performers, as anticipated, were not only determined to make Sol Fest a spectacle, they were accompanied by some wonderful embellishments. I refer here to the plein air painters and Ayla the Mermaid…

So, as many of you have probably heard, Low played the “Rock the Garden” show at the Walker Art Gallery on Saturday and caused a bit of a ruckus by playing just one 27-minute song.

Now MPR asks, “What do artists owe you?”

Great video on Candyland Spirit Mountains new MTB Trail.

Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.

What do theater and basketball have in common? UWS has youth camps for both starting today.

Charlie Parr is back from Europe and playing a free concert at Chester Bowl on Tuesday for the Chester Creek Concert Series.

Farmers’ market season is in full swing with regular market days in the East Hillside and UMD on Wednesdays and Lincoln Park on Thursdays.

And it’s Grandma’s Marathon weekend with lots of music in two tents – the Grandma’s parking lot big top and the DeWitt-Seitz parking lot big top – on Friday and Saturday.

And if marathon weekend is just too much for you, you can escape to 48 hours of techno/electro/house music and camping at the Mystic Moon Festival just outside Ashland, Wisconsin this Friday through Sunday.

So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know.

I don’t know if I was being cheap or just avoiding my hoarding instincts, but I regret not coughing up $8 for this Guy Lombardo record at the Wallace Henkins Estate Sale in May. It appears to be a live recording on Duluth station WEBC from Oct. 14, 1948 — I’m not sure. It was an over-sized record, and I wasn’t sure if it would fit on my turntable. So, who picked it up and how long until it’s shared on the Internet?

Small Papillon Pomeranian mix black-and-white dog ran off around 6 p.m. on Friday, June 14, in the Congdon Park area — Hawthorne Road and East Second St. She was wearing a pink collar and is chipped. She answers to the name Chloe. Please email me: kourtz at juno dot com with any information. Thanks so much!

Just saw this on the Facebook. Pretty cute dog. Must have an owner. Read all about here.
