MinnPost has a fantastic post on Minnesota’s congressional delegation and the Bailout Bill ^[1], including statements from the incumbents and the current challengers.
Cool stuff coming up at the Riverview Theater ^[2]
1. Screening of Spirit of the Marathon in conjunction with the Twin Cities Marathon. Sat 10/4, $8, 3pm.
2. The first VP debate (Thurs 10/2) and the 2nd presidential debate (Wed 10/15). Both debate screenings sponsored by SD 62 DFL, free, 8pm.
Big media is suing the state of Minnesota. They think our new law requiring exit pollsters to stand back 100 feet from polling place doors is unfair. ^[3] Can someone tell me if we really need exit polling anyway? Can’t we just wait for the actual results and not let groupthink and speculation sway our judgment (and stress me out)?
Follow Gaylaxicon 2009 ^[4] on Twitter: @gaylaxicon2009 ^[5]. (The Big Gay Sci-Fi/Horrror/Fantasy Convention is being hosted in Minneapolis next year.)
MinnesotaPlaylist ^[6] “provides information and inspiration for Minnesota’s performing arts. All content is free to read, including audition notices, talent profiles, in-depth articles and essays from great artists and writers and—coming soon—calendar listings and audience reviews. Posting a classified ad or talent profile costs a small fee.” An online magazine, it is, and it kicks off its inaugural issue by asking local performers “What is the function of the performing arts?” ^[7]
