Suzuki Violin Performance – 1:00pm
It’s October 1st, and that means the best holiday in the world is only 30 days away. We’re looking for Halloween banners for PDD. There have been a few showing up in the rotation, but if you have more, send ’em in. We want to display Halloween-only banners on Halloween. Remember, here are the rules. Images must be 960 pixels wide by 167 pixels high. Don’t stretch the image to make it fit those dimensions, that always looks poopy. Believe it or not, we have standards here. The Perfect Duluth Day logo will be added by PDD’s art department. If you’d like to add the logo yourself, here’s a layered Photoshop template.
The lower portion of banner photos serve as background to the navigation bar, so crop your image with that in mind. Make sure essential elements are not in the area that will be obscured.
E-mail the masterpieces to banners @ perfectduluthday.com

Our next festival is this Friday, Oct 2! If you’re heading this direction or looking for something interesting to do, stop on by! A Whisper in the Noise and Tim Kaiser will perform later in the evening, while Logan “logain” Erickson will give a circuit bending demo and performance earlier on. Bruce Nelson, who hasn’t performed in over 10 years, opens the show (for those of us crusty old folks, he’s the grizzled guy who used to run the open stage at Quinlans in the early 90’s where many cut their performing teeth).

This year’s fall colors are a bit behind due to warmer than normal weather, but should start to peak in the next few weeks. Typically the peak happens sooner if you go inland from the shore. The colors right on or near the shores of Lake Superior tend to peak a little bit later.
See Minnesota DNR’s Fall Color Finder for more info.

There are two sides to every love story…and you won’t want to miss this fresh and contemporary musical masterpiece from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown. THE LAST FIVE YEARS is an emotionally powerful and intimate show that chronicles a young couple’s relationship, from meeting to break-up… or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the most heartbreaking and universally-felt moments of modern romance. Wonderfully rewarding, bittersweet and poignant…Don’t miss this fantastic show!

Yarg! My hand-me-down old mountain bike has gone amiss from my back yard. Tsk Tsk to me for not locking it up. Worth nothing but nostalgia. ’97(?) Trek mountain bike, lots of stickers on it (beer stickers, environmental, farming, skiing), had an unfinished wood basket on the back and an extremely rusty chain. black with teal accents. if you see it, let me know! Thanks, y’all.
