Each November I look forward to my grandmother’s cooking, trying to not die on Black Friday (I work in retail) and seeing Happy Apple play not one, but two fabulous post-Thanksgiving shows. It was becoming my own little holiday tradition.
I learned recently that the jazz trio will not be playing this Thanksgiving weekend. To make matters worse, no one knows when or where they will play next. By the way, If you have never listened to Happy Apple you should take the time to treat your soul and discover them.
A few weeks ago I wanted to check on the details of their next show. With no concert dates on their website or myspace, I became deeply concerned and was in a foul mood for days. I eventually decided to stop thinking about it and that perhaps they just hadn’t taken the time to update their websites in a while, it happens.
Then the following Friday, I saw saxophonist Michael Lewis out and about in Minneapolis. I just had to ask him whether I was being paranoid or if in fact there were no upcoming shows. He confirmed the latter and I returned to my sad state of mind.
This isn’t to say the world is doomed never to hear Happy Apple live again, but simply that the group is comprised of three very busy and talented musicians with many places to go and things to do. This Thanksgiving will not be quite as magical as it could be.
the most remarkable piece of the package is raucous, angry concurrence by Justice Paul Anderson. Anderson sides with Magnuson, which makes his the deciding vote in favor of the deal. The license fee is necessary for the maintenance of “a civilized society,” Anderson says. But the price he exacts for his vote is a fierce lecture about how government ought to function. He ratifies the deal, then denounces it as necessitated by the “unfortunate impasse” between Gov. Tim Pawlenty and the DFL Legislature. But “unfortunate impasse” is pale language compared to what happens when Anderson gets warmed up.
Though, I don’t think cancelling interviews is one of the 109, nor is Friday the 13th, but Sanden of InTheLoop fame doesn’t need Friday the 13th or terrorism to feel the effects of a tough week.
Amazing detail in tatoos. I love that even without much English, she understood I wanted a closeup of her hands. So beautiful to a midwest girl like me. I’ve lived abroad and had people talk at me in languages I didn’t understand. It was interesting to do this here.
Looking for something cool and charitable to do tonight? Check out Powderhorn Empty Bowls. It starts at 11am and goes to 7pm Friday (today) only at Powderhorn Park.
You get to pick out a handmade bowl (donated by local artists), make a free-will donation, enjoy homemade soup and leave with your bowl — now empty. It’s a reminder that there are bowls that need filling in the area, and that you’ve done something to help.
The proceeds will benefit organizations who literally fill bowls…the food shelf at the Division of Indian Work, Sisters Camelot and the Powderhorn Park kitchen upgrade.
I think this next item is really cool, Bob Collins and Mary Lucia have put their 5:15 segment online. I know with many folk Bob and Mary can inspire a love’em or hate’em situation, well you can put me in the love’em camp. MPR News Cut: Fresh Eye on the Radio
Give it a listen.
*Update*Speaking of MPR,if you haven’t seen David Brauer’s, of Minnpost, piece on MPR Executive Pay check it out, especially the comments.
Just the other day I was contemplating, much like the above image, about bringing on even more authors.
Unlike the beautiful image above I wasn’t enjoying the serene beauty of our lakes, I was being tossed out of a car at 50mph for not paying a debt in a timely fashion. ( Grandmas, what are you going to do right? )
That’s when it hit me, the road. Just kidding, it was the car behind us. No really, I think it was Bob Dylan on a motorscooter.
I digress.
What I really mean to say is more awesome writers!
Jon will be covering local outdoors, biking, and whatever else catches his interest.
Meghan likes to write about music and set things on fire. She can actually burn down a rock pile with just an ice cube and flynt.
And last to the party will be, Kara who will be starting mid-November and is going to take up the helm of fashion and intrigue . You may know Kara from MnDaily where she’s been rocking the fashion scene.
Please treat the new authors right, they are friendly, but armed and extremely dangerous.
