A unique blend of gypsy-bluegrass; cross-country experiences with Roadtrip Nation; landscapes by Sue Pavlatos and a sneak peek at the College of Saint Scholastica’s production of Twelfth Night are in the spotlight on The PlayList, Thursday, Oct. 28 at 9pm on WDSE-WRPT’s PBS North (8.1/31.1). (The PlayList is repeated Fridays at midnight.)
Dragon Port Games and Comics will host the premiere of AMC’s The Walking Dead on Oct. 31, Halloween night, at the Zinema2 movie theater in Downtown Duluth.
Robert Kirman’s award-winning comic series focuses on the human condition in a post-apocalyptic world, making for a fantastic adventure into the popular genre of zombies and drama. Follow Rick Grimes in his adventures as he awakens, alone and confused, trying to make his way home to his wife, Lori and son, Carl — all the while meeting new folks along the way and trying to survive.
The pilot introduces us to several main characters directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile) that will come across as both dramatic and emotional.
Tickets are available at Dragon Port Games and Comics with the purchase of any Walking Dead-related item.
3 S. Fourth Ave. W., Duluth
Open 11am-9pm M-Sat 12am-7pm Sun.

Oeuvre Magazine Theater Awards Official Ballot
While we’re doing all this voting, vote in this too!
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony Nov. 14 at Northland Country Club. The voting system will hopefully not allow you to vote more than once. Voting closes on Sunday, Nov. 7, at midnight. Good luck to all the nominees!
On November 13, Jude Nutter and Thomas R. Smith will read at Somers Lounge, CSS, for free. 7:30 pm.
Jude won last year’s MN Book Award in poetry with a terrific book called I Wish I Had a Heart Like Yours, Walt Whitman. She was raised on the grounds of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, and the poems in this book concern some of that experience.
Also reading is Thomas R. Smith, who has a brand new book from Red Dragonfly Press called The Foot of the Rainbow. Don’t miss this reading — it’ll be great. Oh, and Spirit Lake now has a website: spiritlakepoetry.wordpress.com.
Glass Elevator plays around midnight. DJ sets by DJ Focus and David Stromdahl all night 9-2. No Cover!
This Friday the 29th, treat yourself to some home-cooked and tasty tunes at the Amazing Grace Bakery and Cafe!
Loup-Garou and Excuse Me, Princess will be taking stage at 8pm to jam the jams you know and love as well as the ditties that will get stuck in your head once you hear them. Best part of it all – it’s completely FREE!
So if you didn’t get a ticket to Mumford and Sons but still want to feel like you’re doing something productive on a Friday night, come have a sandwich, coffee, tea, or some delectable cake while watching two of Duluth’s music-making conglomerates.
I had the opportunity to attend a performance of this charming production on opening night. A talented group of young actors and a kid-friendly run time (just over an hour) truly make this an event for the entire family (not to mention a great way to introduce a younger generation to a well-loved musical!).
Hail of bullets:
Get a front row seat for WCHA action, right in your living room! Live from the new Bemidji Regional Event Center, WDSE-WRPT will broadcast WCHA Hockey games on the Minnesota Channel (8.4/31.4) this fall.
The College of St. Scholastica will be bringing Cloud Cult to the Mitchell Auditorium on Nov. 20. Doors open at 7:30 and the concert starts at 8. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased either on the CSS campus or at css.edu.

The Duluth Playhouse will be presenting The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Oct. 29 and 30 at 9:30. The event will include:
This “Floor Show” is rated R, so leave the kiddies at home. The seats in the Playhouse will be covered, to maximize mayhem.
So … who’s planning on kicking off their Halloween weekend in style with The Rocky Horror Picture Show? What transsexual Transylvanian costumes are you considering?
In the comments to this post, explain in one sentence why you should win two tickets to see Rubber Chicken Theater’s Evil Dead: The Musical.
The winner will be chosen later today — maybe around 3pm … maybe sooner. We’ll see how it goes.
