On Tuesday, April 6 (the week between the cobbled classics Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix) the Zinema has been kind enough to show the film A Sunday in Hell.
This film is a legendary documentary about the 1976 Paris Roubaix and features the efforts of cycling legends Eddy Merckx, Roger de Vlaeminck and Francesco Moser. This film is widely considered to be the best cycling film of all time and is a must see for anyone into cycling. The beauty and drama of cycling in this film is unparalleled. A must see I tell you!
John Prine plays the DECC Sept 23rd. Tickets went on general sale today and seemed to be going at a decent clip when I picked some up.
(insert obligatory rant about ticket prices, mumble mumble)
Here’s something I’ve wished for a long time and never thought I’d see happen…
According to News Askew, the official news source for Kevin Smith and View Askew, Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier will be coming to Duluth to do a SModcast on April 28 at Sacred Heart Music Center.
Kevin Smith is the writer/director of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl, Clerks 2, and Zak & Miri Make A Porno. He’s also appeared in Scream 3, Catch And Release, Live Free and Die Hard and most recently directed Cop Out. Scott Mosier is his good friend and producer of all the View Askew movies.
The Office of Civic Engagement & MPIRG invite you to this free panel discussion! Topics to be discussed include the 2010 census and the implications it has for our university, community and state as well as current trends in engagement at UMD. Mark Ritchie, Minnesota Secretary of State will be giving an opening statement. Director of the Office of Civic Engagement Michelle Hargrave will be moderating the panel.
Three Local bands will play original rock & folk music and then cover the Beatles ‘Let it Be’ at the end of the night.
Hear:
– Two Beat Band singing “Don’t Let Me Down”
– Old Knifey & the Cuthroats singing “The Long & Winding Road”
– The Fontanelles playing the original and uncut version of “Dig It”
– Terrible banter from socially awkward singers.
See:
– Lots of flannel.
– Lots of PBRs
– Fontanelles’ confusing material with songs from “Let it Be”
(Replacements) and “Let it Bleed
– the BRAND NEW “Old Knifey” dance.
We promise there will be no ruffies at this show. But we can’t promise there will be cake.
