Directly following the victory of Friday over Saturday at the Homegrown kickball game (May 8 @ 2:30) please join us for byob and byobbq’in at 325 W. Fifth St. Performances by Hard Feelings and the first, last and only performance of Tiny Town!
Or, if you don’t have an account with the Tribune, you can read it here as well:
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)
It’s been five years — what are you waiting for?!
The Current radio station should come to Duluth!
(If we can get the mayor to jump in the lake for Google, I’m sure we can get him to do something good for bringing awesome music to the northland!)*
* Note: This is not actually endorsed by Mayor Ness, please don’t hate me!
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.
Then humor me for a second.

New video from Duluth’s hardest working band.
Homegrown Music VIDEO festival is BACK and this year we are giving you TWO WEEKS to create your masterpiece.
Kick-off is 8pm (SHARP!) on April 15 at Hell Burgers. Show up on time to draw your song from a beautiful top hat. You’ll have two weeks to create a music video from the randomly assigned song. Filmmakers of all ages are welcome and all filmmakers who turn in a finished DVD will receive a free pass to Homegrown. You may use previously shot footage but you can’t change the song in any way. Finished videos will be shown during Homegrown week.
E-mail Annie Dugan (annie at freerangefilm.com) if you are interested in participating or have any questions.

Here is a photo from Google’s SXSW Bash and here is a note from Austin Techie Friend:
If you agree that Austin would be a great city for Google to build a high-speed data network go to http://www.biggigaustin.org/ for an opportunity for you to tell them. Click on the “nominate Austin” link in the lower left corner.

We have things to learn from Austin — even if they “suck.” Homegrown is a great thing. Let’s put our brains to work here instead of our emotions.
