Let’s get out there Duluth!
Let’s get out there Duluth!
We’ll have a sneak preview of Minnesota’s newest beer, Summit Horizon Red, at Hell’s Kitchen around five tonight. This isn’t a special event or anything, just a heads up for the beer geeks out there.
Hey a friend of mine/coworker at UMD is competing in a beauty contest of sorts that could win her 5 grand. She’s a hard working kid that went to school here in Duluth. It’d be great if you could go and vote for Keely!!! We all know how five grand could help a poor college student.
The Play Ground hosts this tender, funny and biting look at love by one of America’s hottest playwrights.

The next live broadcast of The Rubber Chicken Radio Hour will be Wednesday, April 29, from 7-8pm at The Thirsty Pagan in Superior, Wisconsin. The show will be broadcast live on KUWS 91.3FM, but being in the studio audience to see how it all comes together is the most fun, and admission is FREE…but you really should buy a pizza and a beer or two.
The Celebrity Guest for this show is Super Dave Anderson from the Northland’s News Center. Musical guest is Jim Madison, guitarist/singer/improvisational musician extraordinaire.
Some of the sketches in this edition of The Rubber Chicken Radio Hour include a behind-the-scenes peek at why Mark Winson decided to leave Mayor Don Ness after only two months, and how Dennis Anderson decides to spice up his newscasts after hearing about the success Pat Kelly had with The Full Monty at the Duluth Playhouse (The Full Denny, anyone?)

Come see what Emily Parr’s gang of Thespians have been up to: this Kander and Ebb musical served as Liza Minelli’s Broadway debut, and concerns the war between love and politics. Great songs like “Not Every Day of the Week” and “Express Yourself,” sung by the substantial musical talent at Harbor City School, dress up a ’30s-era story of union organizers, Party members, and romance

Hi folks. My name is Aaron Brown and this is my first post here. I run a blog up on the Iron Range called MinnesotaBrown.com and wrote a book called “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range” that came out recently.
This Friday, April 17, my “Don Quioxe de l’Iron Range” tour returns to the Twin Ports. I’ll be giving a lecture and reading from the book during a special appearance at the Manion Theater in the Holden Fine Arts Building on the campus of my alma mater University of Wisconsin at Superior.
I like Superior. It reminds me of the Iron Range and enjoys some of the same reputation for some of the same reasons. It’s a blue collar place that grew quickly about 100 years ago with a huge influx of immigrant workers. Now the critics call it dirty and downtrodden, but I think there’s a charm in its gritty ways. Like many Range towns, they combat their foes with a dazzling logo. I write often about the same ideas in regard to the Iron Range. In any event, UWS is a fantastic small liberal arts public university and I’m proud to return as an author instead of as an out-of-work grad student.
I talk a lot about the challenges facing Gen Y professionals in rusty places like the Iron Range. As a fifth generation Ranger I’ve learned to love the place and its potential, but bang my head on many walls along the way.
The lecture begins at 2 p.m. and will be followed by a book signing and what the university is calling “light refreshments.”
My blog explains more about the book and the travails of modern life on the Iron Range. It’s part humor, part politics … if there is, in fact, a difference.
Jimm Gaffigan Thursday at the DECC … I’m all a flutter.
A couple jugglers (amateur is ok) and mimes for HG performance. I’ll pay you 10 bucks.

My beloved 13 year-old television is on its last legs. I bought it on sale for $90 at Shopko when I moved into my first apartment all by myself. It’s a great little tv and it will enjoy being turned into a tele-quarium when it goes to the final analog wave in the sky.
With that, we are in the market for a new television. I have the converter box and antenna. We don’t have cable or satellite. I have no idea what kind of a television to get or what the difference is between them, other than size. I need recommendations and a television geek guru. I’m looking to spend not more than $500. Help, please?
