It’s All About How You Get There Heading out to the Sleater Kinney show last night I travelled first by bicycle over to Jodi and Heather’s house. To get there one takes the Minnehaha Creek bike trails which lately I’ve been loath to ride. I’m convinced that other people on bikes pose more of a …

37 Cent Masterworks Just got back from the post office where ten little kids danced in glee as they received their “I visited the post office today” stickers. I kinda wanted to ask for one too but chickened out. Instead I bought a cool new stamp set, the Masterworks of Modern American Architecture. The post …
Crash | Walker | Maple Seed | Malkmus The embroidered rock pants were pulled from the closet last night in preparation for Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks freeform jazz odyssey that rocked First Avenue. Sunday night’s always a tuff night to rally for a show, especially when the show doesn’t even start till 11:45pm. You …
Blaavanshuk, Jylland Strange happiness found in these delightful Scandinavian postcards that I’ve been picking up at random antique shops. I like how, in the first image, the little boy gets to wear those sharp stylish shorts on what looks to be a beautiful warm day up in the alps, and the little girl looks like …
We Came To Party A whirlwind weekend! Team Skelton would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who came out to the big party this last Friday at Solera. We had a great time and we hope you did too. The whole evening is almost one insane blur of activity. I remember some …

My hamstrings burn and when I close my eyes all I see is a fast, movie like montage, of the hundreds of fallen weeds that were systematically rooted out and destroyed by my novice green thumbs. …
Drizzled to Death Another impossibly dreary day in the land of 10,000 lakes. Something like 25 of the last 27 days of May have been overcast with heavy periods of rain. On the rare occasion when the sun does finally push through the clouds, it’s only long enough to mow the grass that now grows …
The Smell of Rock Great. Just as I begin to write this post my nose begins to bleed. What timing! Some folks have spring allergies, I get spring bloody noses. I guess it could be worse, I could be in a meeting or something bleeding all over my notes and presentations. Went and checked out …
Why Dex Has Me Kicking and Screaming I’m very happily aware and fully engaged with the national do not call list but the list I’m really pining to get on is the ‘national please don’t send me any more freaking analog yellow/white pages list’. In the short time that the misses and I have lived …
