The Cave
Does anyone know what’s the deal with the cave (with double doors) just off the road down from the corner of Arrowhead and Rice Lake Road (toward Lowell School)?

“The Struggle for Same Sex Marriage”
Saturday, May 2, 2009 @ 7:00pm
UMD Kirby Student Center Room 333
College Street, Duluth, MN
The issues of whether or not same-sex marriage should be legal has become one of the defining issues of our age. Politicians and conservatives have done all they can to make divisive political hay out of what at its heart is really a question of basic human rights. You are invited to a presentation on why same-sex marriage should be legal, and what we can do to help make it happen.
SPEAKER: Mike Rogge
SPONSOR: Socialist Action

There’s a ton going on this weekend – the full force of Homegrown; One Book, One Community reading at LSC 7:30 Michael Perry, Duluth Poet Laureate reading at the Green Room Saturday at 3:30pm; the final weekend of Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse. It seems then especially fitting that it’s also Buy Indie Day.
Started by the American Booksellers Association, it naturally focuses on Independent Bookstores, but embodies local spirit. Wherever you find yourselves today, think of how you’re supporting the unique community! Listen to local musicians, watch local theatre, buy from local food vendors, artists, craftsmen, and booksellers! Just stop by to let them know that you’re glad they’re here and contributing to the maintenance of Duluth’s unique character.
Happy Indie Day, Duluth!
Don't Let Yourself be Held Back!

Homegrown Week, I know.
My Lilac Bush 4.28.09
The screening for the Homegrown Video fest was last night. If you didn’t make it (like me) you can check them out on this page.
There will be more coming as they get Youtubed or Vimeoed or whatever, so check back.
So Homegrown has begun, and you kids and your crazy cameras will undoubtedly be shooting everything in sight and posting the photos to Flickr. By the power vested in me by being the person who’s declared it without authority in the past (though it seemed to work — 2007 slideshow | 2008 slideshow) I declare the official Homegrown Flickr tag to be homegrownmusicfestival2009. If everyone simply tags their photos, we’ll be able to easily find cool shots of all the stuff we missed. I’ll post a slideshow here on PDD on Sunday so we can all recall the memories.
But the question that’s up for grabs is: What will the official Homegrown Twitter hash-tag be? #duluthhomegrown? #homegrownduluth? Simply #homegrown? Something else? Discuss.
One more thing: I stole this photo from Rich Narum. He’s a kickass photographer.
about six months ago, i backed into my concrete porch steps. luckily, that part of my car was already crapped up. unluckily, the steps (which cracked, at the time) have finally collapsed, sort of. i mean, one stair caved in. i need someone to come and break up the rest of it. if you have a sledgehammer and some pent-up rage, this is your project.
