Here’s some just-released footage from BradFest 2010. BradFest 2011 happens Aug. 5-6 at the Earthwood, just south of Two Harbors. In the shadow of Pierre, the Pantsless Voyageur. A wild weekend of fun. All proceeds benefit young musicians in MN. Great lineup, including Grant Hart on Saturday night! Bands, brew, pie, belly dancing, robots, samba, 82 pairs of men’s briefs…
Silent Auction, 5-8pm on Saturday. Looking for an ash-top bar for your home? You’ll find that and more.
Donate now to get admission and a BradFest mug that gives you $1 off drinks all weekend.
Yesterday I was driving down some side streets near Chester Creek Cafe with my family when we watched a soccer ball cross the street in front of us. At first, it just seemed to be out on a walk, or a roll, I guess, as it headed down the street and on its journey toward the lake. A few seconds later a young man appeared from behind a fence and ran — looking for cars and being careful — after his ball. It was a close contest but the ball was finally intercepted a couple of blocks down the hill.
It got me thinking about the other hill-related events I’ve witnessed over the years and thinking serious work should be done in documenting such events. (Plus, I’m procrastinating on a big project I should be doing.)

What are some of your favorite spots along the North Shore of Lake Superior (a.k.a Big Sexy)?
One of mine is the Kadunce River falls, the only way to access the base of either falls is to hike up river into the canyon.
My name is Lance Karasti. I have recently returned to Duluth after living in Hollywood for the past 2 years. This was my thesis film. I’m hoping to make a feature film in Duluth, as well as a handful of short films.
The short film is based on a Hollywood rumor about Martin Scorsese. He got the idea to change the color of the blood at the end of “Taxi Driver” in order to get out of an X rating. This film is a fictional version of how he got that idea.
This was shown in the Sound Unseen Film Festival at Zinema 2 and got a great response.
An Introduction to Lake Superior by Jim Richardson of Duluth, MN.
Some fine gentlemen doing some excellent parkour and freerunning in our wonderful little city. The video was filmed and edited by Clark Anderson.
While out doing bird surveys for the Minnesota DNR, Sparky Stensaas came across a baby brown thrasher trying to swallow a foot-long garter snake.
Okay, kiddies, I expect to see this at the WFC!
After making the official announcement today that she’s running for President of the United States, Michele Bachmann told Fox News: “Just like John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa — that’s the kind of spirit that I have, too.”
One little problem: The famous star of western films is from Winterset, Iowa — 150 miles from Waterloo. Serial killer John Wayne Gacy lived in Waterloo, though.

Most of these are still on display at Beaner’s Central. Green Man is gone, though. Must have trekked off into the woods.
