Elton John: Anyone manage to get tickets?
I was up and ready at my computer Monday morning when tickets went on sale for Sir Elton’s upcoming Duluth performance on May 6. Unfortunately, after much ‘refreshing’ and ‘searching’ I did not secure tickets for my wife and I. Looks like tickets are readily available for a much larger price on Stubhub; not sure if I’m willing to drop that much cash though.
Anyone else have a similar experience, or were you able to land tickets?
Any sitar players out there?
I’m looking to learn and didn’t know if anyone in the Duluth world here had any suggestions.

Who was that guy?
I’m trying to find footage of Equal Xchange from last year’s Homegrown. It was at the Rex Bar and some dude with dreads was walking around with a shoulder-mounted camcorder. Does anyone know who this person is? I was playing bass and would like it for my archives.
