Perfect Duluth Sound

mayday Mar 23, 2013 2 Comments

The “Lake Superior ice sheets breaking at Brighton Beach” post reminded me how much I want some clean recordings of the amazing things the lake does with its ice.  Does anyone in our PDD community have some field recording gear (418, 702 or the like)?  And would this person be willing to head out on a sound hunt for these phenomena?  We could barter some of my recordings or work something out.  That crazy ice stuff just doesn’t happen in Seattle.  I was back in Duluth in December with gear, but the conditions weren’t right.  Here’s hoping…

Running group for moms

jste Mar 22, 2013 1 Comment

Hello fellow Duluth/Superior mamas out there. Now that it’s “spring,” it’s the time we all start to think about getting outside and running again, or to start running. We’re starting our season off with a kickoff breakfast at the Miller Hill Perkins on Saturday, March 23, at 9 a.m. The hope is to offer people a chance to get to know each other a little prior to going running together to ease some of the pressure to going to something new.
