Friday Turns to Saturday
Well I got to say, after witnessing the amazing South Dakota inspired, plain swept performance by Kid Dakota last night at the uptown bar, I am looking forward with glee and possibility to later bar closing times on the streets of Minneapolis. Sometimes, when the music is good and the drinking is smooth, that one o’clock hour approaches with unkind shifts in lighting and mood, casting an unflattering glow on our pasty midwestern visage. It’s cruel and unnecessary. The later 2AM bar closing that finally past the Minnesota legislature this week is a beautiful and positive step in the right direction and will probably stand to be the only decent worthwhile piece of law to come from those gear heads this year. Budget cuts that run deep will all be made tolerable as long as we can hold our bar stool and stare into our pint for one more hour.
Now for some early saturday morning randomness:
Almuajaha is an interesting independent newspaper from the youngsters out of Iraq. Both critical of Saddam and the US occupiers, it’s published in both english and arabic. (via Salon)
Bacterial and microbe plushies. Makes for a perfect get well gift.
The museum of unworkable devices.
Natalie’s fotolog of some great found images. Think Trachenburg Family Players.
