Forum on “The Struggle for Same-Sex Marriage”

“The Struggle for Same Sex Marriage”

Saturday, May 2, 2009 @ 7:00pm
UMD Kirby Student Center Room 333
College Street, Duluth, MN

The issues of whether or not same-sex marriage should be legal has become one of the defining issues of our age. Politicians and conservatives have done all they can to make divisive political hay out of what at its heart is really a question of basic human rights. You are invited to a presentation on why same-sex marriage should be legal, and what we can do to help make it happen.

SPEAKER: Mike Rogge

Buy Indie Day

There’s a ton going on this weekend – the full force of Homegrown; One Book, One Community reading at LSC 7:30 Michael Perry, Duluth Poet Laureate reading at the Green Room Saturday at 3:30pm; the final weekend of Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse. It seems then especially fitting that it’s also Buy Indie Day.

Started by the American Booksellers Association, it naturally focuses on Independent Bookstores, but embodies local spirit. Wherever you find yourselves today, think of how you’re supporting the unique community! Listen to local musicians, watch local theatre, buy from local food vendors, artists, craftsmen, and booksellers! Just stop by to let them know that you’re glad they’re here and contributing to the maintenance of Duluth’s unique character.

Happy Indie Day, Duluth!

Lilly’s closing weekend!

Other Signs of Spring …

Homegrown Week, I know.

Homegrown Festival is a sign of spring for many PDDers, no doubt. But for me one of my favorite signs that Spring is underway is when my lilacs bloom. Or appear to be near blooming, as is the case here.
