Berserkon failed to make it’s initial Kickstarter goal of $42K, but it gained a lot of attention, a major grant from Visit Duluth, and learned a thing or two about what people are looking for from a major gaming convention. It’s back with a much more manageable $9,950 basic goal and stretch goals that will add to the fun.
If you pledged the first time, that’s erased. To support this project, roll again!
The UMD Anomalies Dept. dispatched two Morphogenetic Field Technicians to Professor Marrow’s hillside home, surveying the contamination from a novel form of radiation.
Awesome Fest and the sixth annual Bad Fashion Ski Party at Mont du Lac are coming up Feb. 1-3, hosted by the KinkHos Telemark Ski Gang. The music and Bad Fashion Party are free; discounted three-day lift tickets are available for skiers. There will be telemark, alpine and snowboard events all weekend. Ten bands are playing. We’re looking for sponsors, volunteers, participants and a decent PA system. “It’s your turn to be awesome,” and “you have to be awesome.”
In conjunction with local organizations (such as United Cerebral Palsy Duluth) and group homes, the Storytelling Project will match UMD writing students with people in the community who have mental and/or physical disabilities from Cerebral Palsy.
I know I’m late — tires are off the wheels, so need mounting/balancing … thanks!
Found this dog running loose on Sixth Street and 11th Avenue East at about 1pm today. Male, no collar. We caught him, called the cops and he got hauled away to the animal shelter. Sorry, Mr. Husky! I hope someone picks him up soon. Super handsome dog, mouthy and full of energy. We would’ve kept him for the weekend but he was too big a handful.
Former Northland’s NewsCenter reporter Tiffany Tarrolly’s new project is called “Pageant Police,” a video series critiquing the physical beauty of contestants in the 2013 Miss USA pageant.
(This post originally contained an embedded video of the “Miss Maryland USA 2013 Critique.” We have removed the video in the interest of not giving it any more attention.)
The concept of the series is essentially to say mean things about the physical appearance of women who are in pageants. So anyone annoyed by women who are in pageants can experience something worse: women who say mean things about women who are in pageants.
The only thing more annoying would be me, for posting this, but I’ll soon be eclipsed in the annoying rankings by everyone who watches this video and then comments on it.
Former Duluthian here, now a couple of hours further up the shore. My coworker (at the Cook County Visitors Bureau) snapped this photo in the Grand Marais harbor earlier this week. Too awesome to not share.

Trampled by Turtles performed “Midnight on the Interstate” on Conan. The video was embedded on PDD via teamcoco.com when this post was published but it seems to no longer exist anywhere on the internet.

Does anyone know anything about the FEMA trailers supposedly hanging out back in the woods a couple miles before you hit Two Harbors?
