Pickup Baseball Game
Sunday, July 19 | 3:30 p.m.
Chester Bowl Park

That’s baseball, not softball. This is a pickup game for grownups who can’t remember the last time they felt the ol’ wood smack the cowhide. Pitches will be lobbed, not that anyone who can throw hard will show up anyway.

There’s nothing official about this game, I just got the invite and was told to spread the word. If there’s an organized youth soccer game or something else going on at Chester, the game might get moved to Woodland or something, so it might help to show up on time if you want to be in the know about a possible relocation.

News Tribune Cubicle Redux?

Jul 16, 2009 2 Comments

This story just went up on the News Tribune web site and I swear they are using the cubicles from their office.  I remember an earlier post that talked about the same things and this looks familiar except last time they took the image down fairly quickly. Am I crazy or am I right?

Jul 16, 2009 No Comments

Feel Free to talk about Me at DinnerAfter the Friday & Saturday night performance of “Matt & Ben” at  Teatro Zuccone (Superior Street) stick around to hear Lucie Amundsen’s self-effacing stories of everyday drama.

Many of these works have been heard on Minnesota Public Radio and printed in Minnesota Monthly, the Star Tribune and other publications.

When Lucie is not actively embarrassing her family, she writes articles on everything from generators, faucet repair and how to make a lovely vase out of
corn husks.

(Matt & Ben Play is $15; reading after play is free and will start around 9pm)

Is there a story behind these houses?

Jul 16, 2009 5 Comments

Last night while driving on Arrowhead Road, I came upon a series of brick houses that all look alike. They are around Stebner Road and seem to be built in the 30s or 40s. They all seem to be on an acre or so of land and look identical. It seems that since they appear to be built in the 30s or 40s, they would have been out in the country when they were new. Was this an old housing development, kit houses or anything interesting or just a developer with one design?

Second season of comedy series

Jul 15, 2009 No Comments

Hello. I am interested in scheduling some pre-production meetings for the second season of an independent web-based comedy series. The catalyst for the series is from the first season, about a failed writer and actor who had the misfortune his old college roommate hiring a documentary crew to follow him around for a week. This week caused him great embarrassment, termination from his job, and eviction from his apartment. Worst of all, it gave him a false sense of stardom. This series picks up after the incidents of that week. The character seeks a fresh start, and tries to get his ‘reality show’ back online with no knowledge of video production, no budget, and no direction other than his preposterous ambition of launching a dramatic/action film career.

on Dunedin Ave. that had all those styrofoam tombstones in the yard at Halloween? Well, we don’t do that anymore. But we did collect all those punny names and epitaphs and put them together on a website that I’d like to share with you. NameThatTomb.com
