Let’s get out there Duluth!
We’ll have a sneak preview of Minnesota’s newest beer, Summit Horizon Red, at Hell’s Kitchen around five tonight. This isn’t a special event or anything, just a heads up for the beer geeks out there.
Hey a friend of mine/coworker at UMD is competing in a beauty contest of sorts that could win her 5 grand. She’s a hard working kid that went to school here in Duluth. It’d be great if you could go and vote for Keely!!! We all know how five grand could help a poor college student.
The Play Ground hosts this tender, funny and biting look at love by one of America’s hottest playwrights.

The next live broadcast of The Rubber Chicken Radio Hour will be Wednesday, April 29, from 7-8pm at The Thirsty Pagan in Superior, Wisconsin. The show will be broadcast live on KUWS 91.3FM, but being in the studio audience to see how it all comes together is the most fun, and admission is FREE…but you really should buy a pizza and a beer or two.
The Celebrity Guest for this show is Super Dave Anderson from the Northland’s News Center. Musical guest is Jim Madison, guitarist/singer/improvisational musician extraordinaire.
Some of the sketches in this edition of The Rubber Chicken Radio Hour include a behind-the-scenes peek at why Mark Winson decided to leave Mayor Don Ness after only two months, and how Dennis Anderson decides to spice up his newscasts after hearing about the success Pat Kelly had with The Full Monty at the Duluth Playhouse (The Full Denny, anyone?)

Come see what Emily Parr’s gang of Thespians have been up to: this Kander and Ebb musical served as Liza Minelli’s Broadway debut, and concerns the war between love and politics. Great songs like “Not Every Day of the Week” and “Express Yourself,” sung by the substantial musical talent at Harbor City School, dress up a ’30s-era story of union organizers, Party members, and romance
