Free! Real law books from a real law firm!

Did you like Ally McBeal when it was on the air? Are you devastated that Law and Order is getting the axe after almost twenty years? Isn’t the law totally rad? Do you think books add ambiance to a room? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then here’s a deal for you:

I have to get rid of over 1,500 law books — American Law Reports (ALR), Supreme Court Reporters and Federal Reporters (and their supplements). The Federal Reporters are not a complete set, but the ALR and the Supreme Court Reporters should be.

They need to go and they need to go by the end of summer (preferably mid-to-late July). Use them as paperweights, make a coffee table out of them, stack them against your wall as a sound barrier for your noisy next door neighbor, make secret hidey holes for your flask — the possibilities are endless! Come grab some books and get creative!

You must pick up, I will not deliver. Take as many or as few as you want. Businesses are welcome! Reply to me at eutyro @ lasnem.org and I will email you back and give you a time and location to pick up your new treasure!

Thanks for looking!

Plant

I think plant.

Lost cat

We just moved to Lakeside and our cat decided he wanted out. His name is Mingus, he is all black with a small patch of white on his belly. He left on Mother’s day and has been gone since. If you see him please email me at jakesandmingus (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Backstage at RT’s during Father Hennepin I had this thought.

Community more than anything is synergies. Cooperative adaptation. The more. The multiplier. Goodness passing among us as an expression of the real love we can will ourselves to feel for every person we touch,  and we actually touch all of them.

Live Tonight at the Fetus!!!

Charity Huot, our May Minneconomy feature, will be playing an in-store today at 5:00! Come on down for some free, great local music!

Thank You Friends…

Liver check, 1-2-3, check, check.

Thank you Duluth. You continue to amaze me with your support of this crazy festival. I mean seriously, how many towns throw an event like this and receive such amazing support night after night, venue after venue. This is a special place we live in.

I would like to especially thank the organizers that slog away at making it happen, the volunteers that make it work, the bands that make it all possible and finally the fans, without who it wouldn’t happen. The biggest thank you should go out to the venues that let us take over and the under-appreciated janitors that have to sweep and swab up after you slobs.

So here’s till next year. Thank you Homegrown.

Close to the End

I don’t think another city on earth just did this. Wonderful time. Tried to see all. Probably saw only 20 out of 150, my apologies to those I didn’t see Aye, the roast of Rick Boo, fairly outrageous. The Rez and Too Many Banjos at Bev’s then Acceleratii then after hours ata Franks. Too many things. Saw the sun come up five times. Rip it up grasshoppers. Bone Appetite over the top. Bill Meyer backing Pat McKinnon, whoa. Sarah Krueger. Nice sound check at Trampled, nerves before going on, talking too much and Jake saved me, Spotted Mule. Fromundas, Father Hennepin, Donald Kinnsley. Lamont Cranston, so much. So many good folks, I thought it was a small Woodstock. More than I can think of, Thanks appreciate it and now I’m going to bed.

Lutefisk: It’s not just fish, it’s law!

We are almost halfway to Lutefisk season, and I just wanted all of our good Wisconsin readers to know that under Wisconsin State Statute 101.58(2)(j)2.f., lutefisk is not a toxic substance in Wisconsin. Bon Appétit!

Homegrown and Stolen Jacket

Hi Everyone. I think this was the best Homegrown in my 11 years of enjoying it. This is Dave from the Brewhouse. I’m posting cuz I’m pretty upset about my jacket being stolen from the Red Star  on Saturday night between 1 am and 2 am. A green Arc’tereckx gore-tex shell I’ve been wearing about three years. I hung it under the bar and left for the bathroom then was chatting. It is Forest Green and  has three front zippers for pockets. It is my favorite. If anyone see’s someone wearing a coat like this please text me at 218.591.7741.

If you took my coat and read this take it to the Brewhouse or Red Star and drop it — no questions.

Perfect Duluth Intersection

I would like to nominate the intersection of 19th Ave E and 8th St for Most Courteous and Cordial to go through (unless it is freezing rain and a skating rink – cue video;). Among all the other intersections or four way stops in Duluth it is the best. Could it be a macrocosm of people who actually remember driver’s ed and training? I will leave it up to the masses to comment on the worst intersection.

Duluth Does Doggystyle

Seriously, this would be the best “Duluth Does” event ever. I’m willing to tackle any of the fine tracks from Snoop’s classic album.

I want to carpool from Superior to Duluth.

Starting June 1st I will be a resident of Superior.  I am working up at UMD full time.  I would love to find someone or some people to carpool with.  I am willing to drive if they want to kick in some money, or I’m willing to ride and kick in the cash.  My schedule is M-F with flexible start (7:30 – 8:30ish) and end times (4:00 – 5:00ish).  Does anyone know someone or a good website to use?  Thanks for the help!

Tour De Scene

Happy Homegrown everyone! Just a quick note to let you know I will be playing the radio documentary Tour De Scene that was produced by The Current. It is a one hour show about Duluth and our wonderful music community. So tune into KUMD at 5pm if you haven’t heard it already.

Gah! I messed up!

Girls

Aren't they cute?


Girl’s rock night at Sara’s Table is Friday – not Thursday as it says in the Homegrown Program –
