The Hannah House Women’s Hospitality Collective is hosting a fun(d) raiser May 7 & 8 from 5:30-7:30pm ($11 single $20 couple kids under 10 free) at St. Paul’s church (Superior and 17th ave. E.). There will also be a silent auction of hand crafts made by folks in the Loaves & Fishes community on Jefferson St. in addition to live music.

First Thursday Motorcycle Ride returns!

Apr 22, 2010 4 Comments

You know the drill, right?
Get on your motorcycle, ride it to the co-op, have a cup of coffee, BS for a few minutes, then go for a ride with a bunch of random people, who knows? Maybe people you know. Whatever. Maybe we’ll even have a beer when we’re done. So get there, unless it’s pouring rain we do this. All bikes and all riders welcome. Tell your friends, find it on the Facebook … Twin Ports First Thursdays. See you there!

Honking Tree alert

Apr 22, 2010 No Comments

I noticed it’s been a year since the Honking Tree incident when perusing the Two Harbors paper. They are looking for words-art-whatever to publish next week on the anniversary. They also welcomed stories, made up, I suppose, chronicling what you think might have happened. Email the News-Chronicle at [email protected]

Roast of Rick Boo

Apr 21, 2010 No Comments

Roasters include: Mark Lindquist, Carolyn Reisberg, Cory “Hot Rod” Ahlm, John Lee, Chad Lyons, Devin McKinnon, Blaise Taylor, plus special surprise guests.

Tickets are on sale at Pizza Lucé now. There is a limited number of tickets – once they’re gone, they’re gone, so get yours quick. To reiterate: the Roast costs $10 and requires attendees to have either a weeklong Homegrown wristband or a band pass. No weeklong wristband / band pass, no entry.

I’m locking this thread so none of you jackaninnies can use up your good material ahead of time.
