The Earlynerd Special is in effect. Discounted tickets to Geek Prom are available now online.
Listen to Jonathan Lee rant about Geek Prom on KUMD here.
Read about Geek Prom in Living North Magazine here. (You have to navigate to pages 24-25. I like that the story is in the Healthy Living section.)
Music at this year’s Geek Prom by Tim Kaiser, Paul Broman and Best Friends Forever.
You’ve still got that winter spirit.
This is the only Internet video I can find of the amazing UMD Bulldog hockey victory over Princeton. It includes the final minute of regulation, featuring the tying goal with 0.8 seconds left. (It does not include the game-winning overtime goal.)

Perfect Duluth Day moved to a different server today. Let us know if you notice any glitches.
Sorry about all the down time this week. Let’s hope that’s all behind us.
“Get in to Duluth!”
Thanks to Dan for the hot tip, related to the “Songs with Duluth in the lyrics or title” post.
The Garrison Keiller in me thinks it should be “The Above Average Seal of the State of Minnesota.”
Surely some of you noticed PDD was down for several hours today. It was the fifth time we’ve had problems with our server in the past two months, so naturally we’ll be taking our business elsewhere very soon.
We hope you won’t take your blogging elsewhere while these difficulties are sorted out.
This post was launched in 2009 and the list of Duluth songs continues to expand as new ones are reported. In mid-2018 the gradual process was begun of including links to posts with audio (and video if available) of the songs.
Congratulations to Mary on her victory in the Whacko Yard Art Photo Scavenger Hunt. As promised, Mary will recieve a Geek Prom T-shirt and Space Patrol walkie talkies. I’m also throwing in a used copy of Cinderella’s 1988 hit album Long Cold Winter, since the contest ended on the first day of spring.
The Whacko Yard Art Photo Scanvenger Hunt is over and the finalists are Mary and Mark. (Sorry, Barrett, but you missed the deadline. Those rules are there for a reason, mister.)
I said I’d allow comments to sway my decision, so those with a strong opinion on who should win have until … oh, let’s say noon … to make their voices heard. After lunch I’ll return from my chambers with a decision.
Petus Rockus. This rock was found in Keene Creek, left here by the Wisconsin Glacier 23,648 years ago. Placed on this stand May 1985 by Ken Seehus.
While running errands today I came across this lovely piece of yard art. I’m posting it as a challenge, because I know you can do better. And because a piddly blizzard like today’s is no excuse to stay inside.
Announcing the PDD Wacko Yard-art Photo Scavenger Hunt
You have until 10 p.m. next Thursday, March 19, to post the most awesome yard art photo on this Web site.
This trail struck me a little strange. I’m referring to the roughly 20-inch-wide path that’s been cleared in the middle. As if tracking some strange beast, I’m trying to figure out what cleared that path.
This year’s Homegrown Music Festival will feature a night of locally produced music videos using songs by local bands.
If you are interesting in creating a video for the festival, there are some things you should know.
