Fish fry in Duluth/Superior
Where does one go with his visiting Mum and Dad for the greatest fish fry in the Twin Ports?

Despite being re-cut CBS ruled the spot, featuring a couple cubical clowns breaking wind, broke the barrier of good taste.
I found this on the now-defunct Duluth Public Library Reference Blog. You think skijoring is fun? Try motorcycle skijoring on the lake ice.
THE STRUGGLE FOR ABORTION RIGHTS: a panel discussion
—————————————————-
Sunday, January 24 at 7pm
Duluth Building for Women at 32 E. 1st St. (basement meeting room)

To mark the anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, you’re invited to a panel discussion on abortion rights. Speaking will be Heather Bradford, Chere Suzette Bergeron and Linda Gokee-Rindal. After the presentations there’ll be an open discussion period.

“I didn’t like it then — he’s a Green Bay Packer — and I don’t like it now.”
Last winter I must have went jogging on the Munger Trail 70 times and never once saw anyone skijoring.
Today I went jogging on the Munger Trail for the first time this winter and saw two different people skijoring.
Was it a coincidence that I saw two today and none before, or does it mean something — like the activity is growing in popularity or maybe there’s an event people are preparing for?

There will also be a raffle each night for gift certificates to over twenty local businesses, such as Electric Fetus, Jitter’s, New Scenic Cafe and more. Raffle tickets are $5 each.
All money raised will go to Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti organization, a grassroots organization providing relief aid to Haiti. UPDATE: Due to the recent allegations against Wyclef Jean’s organization, referenced in the comments to this post, the organizers of this event have decided to instead donate 75% of proceeds to Oxfam and 25% to the Kako Foundation.
The Wilco folks contacted us about screening their newish documentary by Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and Christopher Green. This film will screen one time only at 7:15 on Thursday Jan 28th. We will also be giving away two free tickets to their upcoming show at the DECC. Cost is 6.50.
Also want to remind folks about the upcoming screening of Buster Keaton’s The General with a new score written and performed by Marc Gartband. This Friday & Saturday at 7:30p.m. For tickets head to Zinema 2
I noticed last week that the DNT Attic has returned to the Duluth News Tribune site. After Andrew K. was let go the site was never quite as good, but I appreciated that they were at least updating it with new posts from time to time. They just started updating it again after four months of silence. However the posting from January 18th looks strangely familiar to something I’d read before. Coincidence?
Came here to post on this but I see dlhmn beat me to it with a comment on my earlier post Northland’s “News” Center?
Ellen Sandbeck’s new book “Green Barbarians” is having its book launch at the Spiritual Deli at 3 W. Superior St. It’s fine, bold foray that turns away from ecological no-saying into ecological yes-saying. It’s also illustrated with Sandbeck’s elegant black and white papercut images, and with her great little “barbarian” glyph–just made for a tattoo.
It’s a costume party: come as a Green Barbarian (or for you Avatar fans, a bluegreen barbarian) and Win Fabulous Prizes. It’s Fri., January 22 at 6 pm.
Eat, drink, and be merry in good barbarian style (you might even find out about “bread napkins”). Northern Lights Books will be there with copies of the book to buy.
I heard the Laughing Hearts are playing at the Thirsty Pagan in Superior on Sat. Jan 23. They’re an awesome, highly entertaining Celtic renaissance pub band. Go join in Pirate Night fun at the Pagan. I’ll be there for sure!
