By the end of the long day and hectic pace of marathon events (or actual marathon running!) there needs to be a nightcap. A little letting your hair down and unwinding. Well, that will happen if you come down late to the Lake Avenue Cafe for a Marathon Nights afterparty featuring Duluth’s own smooth organ genius Dan Anderson & His Silk Sheiks and the stripped down surfy post-punk heat of Minneapolis band the Bombay Sweets. Before the evening ends these bands promise to deliver the right sounds to loosen you up and wind down the days long events in style.
Saturday, Aug. 13, 11pm, 21+

Check out Dan Anderson & his Silk Sheiks live here.

Opening Reception on Tuesday, July 5, 4-6 p.m.
The Tweed Museum of Art is thrilled to present Psychedelic Signatures, an exhibition of classic rock music posters from the collection of Andrew and Victoria Olson. These amazing images were part of an explosion of creative energy, centered in San Francisco, where new music, light shows, and psychedelic art all came together for a few short years between 1966 and 1972.
Can anyone help this Eagle Scout? He is attempting to move plants out of a gorgeous old growth forest that is to be bulldozed for a building on the corner of Rice Lake Road and Pecan this Sunday. He writes a good description below.
Hello Everyone,
I am in desperate need of volunteers for my Eagle Scout project this Sunday. My project involves taking native plants and trees out Webb Woods, and moving them to new locations so they will be saved from the bulldozer.
Runners and their families milling about foggy Canal Park almost got a big thrill this afternoon. The BBC Orinoco nearly side-swiped the South Pier Lighthouse.
I had the best angle, and I was sure this boat was going to hit. More photos in my blog.
Grandma’s Marathon will have a live video feed from the finish line this year.
Here is the link
Right now it’s pointed at the beer tents.
Happy Hour
June 17, 6-8 p.m.
Downtown Duluth’s annual Sidewalk Days Festival will be held July 6-8 on Superior Street between Lake Avenue and Fourth Avenue West.
The Greater Downtown Council is encouraging all buskers to open a case wherever it’s convenient — except, of course, where merchants and vendors have assigned spaces. (The GDC holds the permit for the street closure and with that can invite anyone to busk, so you don’t need a fancy busking permit.)
Contact Darlene if you have any questions — 218-428-2258 or dmarshall @ downtownduluth.com.
R.T. Quinlan’s will be hosting some of Duluth’s up-and-comers on Saturday, July 9, at 9PM.
I always look at the Transistor for things to do on any given week, but sometimes it can be inconvenient to have to wait for the new issue. I have family visiting next week, and it would be nice to see what’s going on in town. Is there anything that is anywhere near as comprehensive and as focused on the arts as the Transistor that covers a longer period of time?
I think you might like this documentary for a number of reasons:
1) It’s really good.
2) It’s super pretty.
3) It’s way more interesting to hear a swell guy like Dave tell you his story than it is to learn about teen depression on Wikipedia. (But if you do happen to learn a few things about depression, and you want to do something about that, please visit givevoicenow.com and donate a couple of bucks to help the Miller-Dwan Foundation build Amberwing, a mental health facility for kids, teens and young adults here in Duluth.)

Mrs. Goose’ close pal Justy Dodge has the Joke of the Week on Time Out New York. Who knows? Maybe the right person will crack a smile and who knows where that could lead in a city that has launched the careers of 10,000 entertainment icons?
Into the Woods (Summer Musical)

Wednesdays-Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.

The Providence Building opened in 1895 on the corner of Superior Street and Fourth Avenue West in Downtown Duluth. Originally it was a more ornate five-story building. A Northern Pacific Railroad office was located on the first floor.
I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations about someone who can do guitar setups in the Twin Ports. Thanks!
