Duluth references in Lucy

Feb 16, 2011 9 Comments

“Amanda drove and let Jenny doze in the front seat while Lucy slept in back.  They woke just south of Duluth.  They spent the night in a little town called Superior.  In the morning they stopped at the grocery store in Duluth to stock up for the week.”                   — (Chapter 17)

“The road they traveled from Duluth had stretched out ruler-straight for miles, cutting farm fields in half, as pastures fell away toward island lakes.  Dark clouds gathered in the western sky as they entered the great expanses of forest in Wisconsin.”                  –(Chapter 21)

from LUCY (A Novel) by Laurence Gonzales  (2010)

While this is interesting in general, what makes it PDD material is Dougherty’s reference to Robot Boy from Duluth at about 6:12.

Who was that guy?

Feb 07, 2011 No Comments

I’m trying to find footage of Equal Xchange from last year’s Homegrown.  It was at the Rex Bar and some dude with dreads was walking around with a shoulder-mounted camcorder.  Does anyone know who this person is?  I was playing bass and would like it for my archives.

Feb 07, 2011 4 Comments

The Black Eyed Peas halftime performance at Super Bowl XLV has been widely panned. Perhaps it just can’t live up to the awesome spectacle that was the 1992 halftime show.

Sure the Packers won (another) super bowl victory tonight. Congratulations, I guess. But hey, for those of us that are Vikings fans, we may not have a gillion Lombardi trophies like Green Bay does, (we don’t have one even, Packer fans will be sure to tell you), but we’ve got something even better than the Packers:

A state supreme court justice. SO there.

Here’s MN Supreme Court Justice and former Viking great Alan Page talking about education, transcending politics, and the importance of strong families last week on MSNBC

A short film by local high-school student Will Francois III. Impressive for the materials and education allotted.

8th Street Video on 9th Street is for sale

Jan 26, 2011 29 Comments

I’ve noticed a for sale sign on the 8th Street Video on 9th Street store.  Does anyone know why the owners are selling and what the owner’s plans are?

Also does anyone know the history of how 8th Street Video on 9th Street got its name?

What are the biggest sellers here: movies, ice cream or candy?
