Ride your bike, bring a friend, and bring something to share!
the B.C.C is a sober space.
Their new single, “Since We’ve Been Wrong,” sounds so Low-esque. Are the Angelenos acquainted with the Sparhawk family or is it just affinity?
Directed by local hero Mike Scholtz for the Minneapolis 48 Hour Film Project. Featuring a cameo by Minnesota State Representative Roger Reinert.
I was at 26th Avenue East and London Road when I saw these two cars. They’re a little unusual, so I thought it was funny to see two together. The question that lingers for me: Is it possible these people are together? Do friends ever buy the same kind of car so they’ll match?
Come join us for a casual bike ride through downtown Duluth, Canal Park, and wherever else our wheels may take us to celebrate cycling, promote sustainable transport, and take back the streets from automobiles’ boring and destructive business-as-usual.
Critical Mass is a leaderless ride that happens in cities throughout the world on the last Friday of each month. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate! Come dressed up in costume, birng noisemakers, decorate your bike! (this is a parade of sorts)
In Duluth we meet at Leif Erickson Park by Leif’s statue at 5:30pm. After the ride, riders tend to congregate and socialize in a public area, whether it is Leif Erickson, Lake and Superior St, etc. Food Not Bombs will provide free food.
Hope to see you this Friday!
It’s been one year since Starfire’s 100 Pushup Challenge. Did anyone make it? I’m still stuck on week four of the workout. Six weeks? Yeah, right!
Perfect Duluth Day is turning 6 years old next Monday. Topic for discussion in the comments: Is there any less significant anniversary than the sixth?
Significant or not, we’ve decided to meet for cocktails and whatnot. So join us at Chester Creek Cafe’s Wine Bar next Monday, June 29, from 9 to 10 p.m.

Galileo at 400: Arrowhead Astronomical Society tour and talk
Duluth Art Institute
FREE
400 years ago Galileo Galilei peered through a small tube and dramatically changed the way we understand our place in the world(s). Join Eric Norland in the Duluth Art Institute Galleries as he guides us through planetary photographs that Galileo could only dream about. A representative from the Arrowhead Astronomical Society will also be on hand to answer questions and discuss this important anniversary.
One of those enormous strings of balloons that arch across the street at the finish line for grandmas got loose and headed off into the heavens. Last seen flying high over Lake Superior headed south … I wonder where they’ll land or if they’ll ever be found … I wonder if there are tell tale marks on the balloons that will lead a finder to know they’re from Duluth. Hopefully they won’t end up in any bird or varmint bellies, that’s deadly. Any way to track them? Anyone else care but me? Anyone else get a better picture than this?
Thanks to everyone who came to my shindig. Aside from Bloody Marys, we had Mimosas, Coffee with Bailey’s, Biscuits and Gravy, lots of Fruit, a Ginormous Donut (thanks to Lucie and Jason), Lil’ Smokies, and Miniature Quiches.
Oh yeah, we watched people exert themselves while we sat in the shade sipping cool drinks. All in all, a really good day.
