The good people of Duluth are celebrating their Dylan connection tonight. Thursday through Sunday bring a variety of arts events to the site of Dylan’s formative years up the road in Hibbing. Read more at the Dylan Days website or at the rolling updates at my MinnesotaBrown.com blog. Yes, I’m an organizer of Dylan Days and yes this is shameless promotion. But we’re proud of our grassroots funtime (including music, literature and visual arts) and I wouldn’t be involved if it weren’t something special.
This year’s Dylan Days includes four authors (including, unfortunately, myself), the world premiere of the winning play from our one-act playwright contest, music from Scarlet Rivera (the violinist from “Hurricane” among other things), the singer/songwriter contest and much more.
Hibbing is 80 short miles from Duluth and if you crash in the backseat of your car this is a highly affordable experience. But rooms are available!
…from the ordinary this summer!

Jammie Thomas has a new lawyer for her June 15 Capital v. Thomas retrial in Duluth. His name is Kiwi Camara.
In this trial, “Capital” means RIAA (say it with me… collusion). Original docs here. P2PNet and Ars Technica had very good coverage in the past, and will probably have reporters in town again.
Has anyone ever gotten t-shirts printed in Duluth who can give me some prices? (or own a screenprinting company? hint hint) I’m looking to get some made, and want to find out where I can get good prices, since zazzle.com works out to about $21+ per shirt
Probably ~20 T shirts
Not sure if it will be one sided or two sided yet (they’re team shirts, so maybe put a name on the back)
Colored (Green or Orange), unless white is a LOT cheaper.
Probably only around 2 colors for the design
Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Hello,
My name is Rob and I am moving to Duluth with my wife in July. I will be teaching Comm. and Media related courses at the College of St. Scholastica.
I am co-owner of a small independent production company based in Milwaukee. I have been the director and/or editor of an ongoing queue of productions over the past seven years. We have all of our own shooting and editing equipment, lights, sound, track, green screen, etc. I will be available in June and beyond for commercial and creative media projects on a freelance basis.
If you are a writer or filmmaker and need help editing, shooting, or encoding your work for DVD/Blu-Ray or the Internet, I can help you. I have low, very negotiable rates…I’m interested in meeting new artists in the Twin Ports. I used to live in the area, and know quite a few actors and artists.
Also, I am planning to shoot two feature length independent films this fall and next spring, and this will require a lot of local talent. I am working on a website dedicated to these future endeavors, and I will post the link to that site very soon. In the meantime, I am compiling a list of e-mails and phone numbers into a local call list.
For more information about these upcoming productions, please reply to this post, or write to: [email protected]
Thanks!
-Rob
These morels were recently brought to us by Kirk Batrud. He is recovering from chefdom by spending time in the woods. He’s a great guy.
They are so gorgeous!
It’s contest time again at PDD. This one’s best suited to those of you with children in need of entertainment. The prize is four tickets to Rubber Chicken Theater‘s production of Humpty Dumpty, which runs May 22-24 and 29-31 at the Historic Scottish Rite Auditorium.
Here’s how to play:

Any questions? Direct them to the e-mail address above or use the comments section of this post. Good luck. We’ll have all the kings horses and men on standby, but keep in mind that their abilities are limited.
We’re going to Texas to find out if the Alamo has a basement.
They don’t tell you that stuff in school…it’s something you just have to experience.

As some of you have already figured out, we added a tool on PDD in which readers can rate how useful or enjoyable they find particular posts.
[UPDATE: Ratings were taken down 15 days after this post went up, so don’t look for them and feel stupid.]
See that row of stars at the bottom of this (and every other) post? That’s where the rating happens. All you have to do is click on the appropriate star to gauge your appreciation. The meaning behind the stars is basically this:
1 star – Lame
2 stars – Somewhat appreciated, but still kind of lame
3 stars – Above average
4 stars – Mint
5 stars – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
A NOTE ABOUT RATING THIS PARTICULAR POST: Rather than rating the quality of this post, please rate the whole idea of having ratings at all, as that will be useful to know. And feel free to comment about it as well.
Funny jokes, men in dresses, silly puppets, The Egg Man himself….there’s something for everyone!
May 22-24 and 29-31 at the beautiful Scottish Rite Auditorium.
