Treasures of the Earth – Green Art & Goods Fair

Treasures of the Earth – Green Art & Goods Fair. Held at the Unitarian Church, 835 W. College St., Duluth – March 27, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A variety of local artists will have booths showing what they are making out of local natural materials (wood, stone, bark, fiber) or recycled material. There will also be a nature photography and nature art section at the fair. These earth friendly and earth inspiring items make great additions to your home, cabin or as gifts throughout the year. Come shop. You will find many creative and unique items at this fair. Local made is the way to go. If you are a Twin Ports artist who uses recycled materials or natural materials in your work and would like to participate, contact [email protected].

Jeremy Dick, New Years Eve at Carmody Irish Pub

Jeremy writes music to please and inspire those he loves (a perpetually growing list) and to help him to remember his own life. At best each of us sleeps 8 out of 24 hours each day of our life. Subtract the forgotten years of childhood and the fog of senility and we’re left with about 50 years waking time. Most of that time we spend engaged in autopilot-type tasks and we can’t even remember what we ate for lunch 48 hours ago. Or did we even eat lunch? Who knows? Performing live music is the way Jeremy makes himself uncomfortable enough to remember a night forever. And a night full of friends and laughter and love is worth remembering. Some Mountain Dew types call it ‘feeling more alive’. Jeremy would settle for living more of his feelings.

Boxing Day 2009 Sledding Conditions: Horrible!

Today’s report is from Lincoln Park. It was well packed down yesterday, and frozen rock-hard today. So, the speed on the way down is totally out of control, and the ride is full of solid bumps that threaten to permanently damage one’s sphincter ani externus muscle.

You don’t bring a gun to a snowball fight

News story

Does anyone feel like throwing snowballs around 1 at Lake and Superior today? Just don’t bring any guns.

Another song for the season…

Auld Lang Syne” performed by Coyote, recorded at Hog Damage Collective.

Happy Holidays!

Yoda hockey Christmas booze snow goon

YodaHockeyChristmasBoozeYay

Merry Christmas. Let’s have a contest. The person who posts the best snow goon before midnight Sunday wins two tickets to Wilco at the DECC on Feb. 19.

UPDATE: Or maybe the slushy snow will all freeze after this is posted, making it impossible to build a snow goon and forcing this contest to be scrapped.

Merry Xmas-A tradition.

Does anyone have a key to the armory? I figure all of us non-native Christmas refugees could set up camp there and have our own non-family celebration. I’ll bring the Charlie Brown tree. Who knows the Linus speech? I recall driving 60 miles to Mankato during the Halloween blizzard to make it to an old college roommate’s house, knowing we wanted to be in the old neighborhood for four days of snow fun. It took 3 hours. I was younger, stupider, and perhaps not now as motivated to take on the weather with my car. Home is an hour south of the TCs. A string of 43 straight appearances will be broken. Lamentations?

Christmas lights in Duluth

This is our third winter in Duluth (so we still consider ourselves newbies) and we’re wondering if anyone could recommend a good neighborhood/area for Christmas light displays or recommend a good route.  (Please be specific; I get lost easy, especially downtown.)

Thanking you sincerely in advance,
the NewKid
