The Crunchy Bunch News

The Crunchy Bunch DJ collective is releasing its third mix-tape on July 19 at the Red Star Lounge.

Minnesota is puzzling

If you liked my previous film, Wild Bill’s Run, you might also like my next film, Wicker Kittens. On the other hand, you might hate it. Because they’re two different films. This one is about competitive jigsaw puzzling. I’m going to stop trying to second guess your personal tastes now and let you watch the trailer.

Travel Advice: San Diego

In a few weeks, I’m going to be in the San Diego area for work [i.e. standing in front of a marketing display slapping backs and shaking hands]. The Prioress is going to meet me at the tail end for a few days.

This week: public painting, outdoor concerts and fireworks

  

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

This month AJ Atwater will be doing a 30″ by 30″ painting in public starting today in a storefront window at Perry Framing, downtown Duluth.

Tuesday at the Zinema 2 the Explorers Club presents a film shot in northern Minnesota – “Pollywogs.”

This summer Glensheen Mansion is hosting a series of free Concerts by the Lake starting this Wednesday with Sentimental Journey.

This Fourth of July there’s a lot going on before the fireworks. You can go to Bayfront for a free concert, check out the free Folk Music Festival in the Fitger’s Courtyard (which runs through Saturday), or see a Huskies baseball game at the Wade.

The Twin Ports Bridge Festival at Bayfront this Saturday includes Cloud Cult, Snöbarn, Mason Jennings and more.

And, we haven’t mentioned it lately, but every Sunday is Fencing with Kris at the Lotus Center taught by Duluth’s own preternaturally young Legolas lookalike, Kris “Lithis” Nelson.

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

PS – I’m going to be incommunicado as I will be on monastic retreat for the next two weeks so the very cool and capable Emily Haavik will be doing the Monday morning communiques in my absence. Have fun, Emily!
