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

Happy New Year! There are a lot of New Year’s Eve gatherings today including:

• An all day music-a-thon at Beaner’s.
• Charlie Parr, Marc Gartman and others at Tycoons.
• CASDA’s Dance to End Abuse at Barker’s Island.
• Dueling Pianos at Dubh Linn.
• The DSSO performs with the Giant Earth Harp at the Amsoil Arena.

And lots, lots more. What are you doing tonight?

On Friday you can catch a basketball game between UMD and Minot State at Romano Gymnasium or a hockey game between St. Scholastica and Augsburg at Mars Lakeview Arena.

On Saturday Zinema 2 starts its series of family films with the Hobbit! No, not that one, the 1977 Rankin Bass animated movie. Oh, yeah!

Also on Saturday Breanne Marie has a release party for her new CD at Beaner’s.

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