Be the first on your block. Or something.
When I was in kindergarten a stranger with one arm warned me sternly against ever using fireworks. But next week I’m turning 30 and apparently the terror of that day has receded in my memory because I’m ready to celebrate!
Where can a girl (responsibly and legally) get fireworks in these parts? A Google search turned up a number for an Arrowhead Fireworks (just rings), and I already tried that place in Superior that advertises the thrilling combination of fireworks, wild rice and lobster tails (they were closed for the month).
Band and musician registration for the music festival with the most impressive ratio of big:cheap begins Jan. 15 and ends Feb. 15. If that seems early, it’s ’cause we moved it up after suddenly realizing no one was gonna stop us.
To promote contemporary music education in K-12 schools, the Duluth Homegrown Music Festival proudly announces the first opportunity in its new grant-making program: Incubation Grants. Entering its 13th year, the Duluth Homegrown Music Festival will recognize the continued support of the Twin Ports’ unique music community by reinvesting in our youth. These Incubation Grants will be available to educators in public, private and home-school settings for up to $500 ($1,000 for educators who pool their resources) and can include instructional materials, textbooks, teacher training, field trips or any other expenditures directly related to beginning or enhancing an existing contemporary music curriculum. More information and an application can be found at duluthhomegrown.com. Applications are due Nov. 19, 2010.
Rock on, Little Dudes.
The Duluth Homegrown Music Festival is seeking a Volunteer Coordinator. Responsibilities include scheduling of volunteers at two dozen venues over the course of eight days, managing correspondence with a pretty kickass group of people, and generally keeping your cool under pressure.

Beginning June 24 Shana David will host a weekly happy hour that includes Ellington, Hendrix, Weill, plus Burt Bacharach every hour on the hour. Also sprinkled in are original tunes including the debut of “Bentleyville Magic,” Shana’s entry in the Bentleyville Theme Song contest.
Please leave lots of song requests in the “comments” section, and stop by Zeitgeist Arts between 4:00 and 6:00 Thursday Evening.
Well, I am. They gave me a chance to sit around with my better half for two hours a week listening to music and talking smack on air. Don’t care for their programming? Listen to The Funhouse tonight — Wednesday — from 7:00 to 9:00 and we promise to either change your mind or put you off KUMD permanently.
Plus, this week is the Funhouse Fun Drive with sponsorship gifts including CDs and the ever-coveted 10 screening pass for the Zinema 2, so you Current Lickers have the chance to put your money where your mouth is.

Anyone have a suggestion for an oral surgeon for a squeamish, terrified patient with a screwed up wisdom tooth? I’m talking about a doc who is a pro with pain management, read: will knock my butt out and send me home with adequate pillage.
