Thought I would try out the gray area in the promotion portion of the PDD policy. Figured I could post this for the following reasons:

1. The shirts are local.
2. They have a positive impact through their message and the organizations that benefit from the proceeds. More positive can only dilute the negative.
3. They all have at least something to do with art or humanity. And I know there are a lot of artists and humans in the PDD community.
4. At least two of them can be related to music, which I’m guessing will win the approval of Culture Czar Baci (kidding Baci, but I do like that title).

Hopefully, that’s enough to qualify. If not, feel free to remove. And yes, I have permission from Fatboy Slim’s management to use his music.

Thanks!

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.
