This week: pylons, quirky history, silent films and beer
You know what they say about there being two seasons in Minnesota. And if winter is over, it must be road construction season. The I-35 Mega Project returns and the city is doing work on Kenwood Avenue and 46th Avenue West. Start remembering all of your alternate routes.
Sarah Vowell (writer, radio personality, and voice of Violet from The Incredibles) is speaking at Mitchell Auditorium.
Also at St. Scholastica is a free silent movie film fest showing Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis.
The noir play, A Steady Rain, opens at the Teatro Zuccone featuring the very talented Zachary Stofer and Scott Mallace.
And, oh yeah, beer. The Gitchee Gumee Brewfest is back at Wessman Arena.
So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know!
Kao Kalia Yang today (Monday) at 1:30! Come one, come all!
My vote for gig poster of the week goes to Jake’s 30th Birthday Bash.
Artwork by Zoey Cohen.
Just announced: Wilco is coming back to Duluth on July 1 to play Bayfront Festival Park.
Well, shoot. Today’s my 48th birthday, and nobody designed a supercool poster for me. Maybe I should ask Ween, I’ve always liked his artwork.
