Problem: Too Many Tweedy’s
I have too many Jeff Tweedy tickets than required. The show is tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29), 7:30pm in Rochester, Minn.
Solution: I am offering the tickets at nearly half off … say, $25 each … for the best music related haiku (as judged by Paul Lundgren).
Haiku entries accepted until noon on Tuesday, March 29.
It’s that time of year where I’m in need of your retired steel-tined leaf rake. It cannot be plastic or bamboo- it must be steel. I chop the tines off for thumb piano keys and I need a whole lot of them for a music program/workshop I’m doing later in the spring. If your rake is missing all but one of it’s tines, I’ll still take it. You can contact me through yelling loudly or the internet thingy.
I’m looking to see if we have an established HHH group in Duluth? If not we should it started up!
After nearly a year’s hiatus The Cheerleader is back and crankier than ever.
