Join students from five colleges in solidarity with UMD students at Monday march/rally
Racism in Minnesota? Really? In the wake of a Facebook scandal that has rocked the UMD community, students and community members will join together on Monday, May 3, as a united community standing together against all forms of racism. UMD students will make a 4-mile march beginning at 10 a.m. at the Washington Center and ending at Kirby Plaza, UMD.

Local Talent Supporting Local Community
Sunday, May 2, University of Minnesota Duluth students and faculty will be giving from the arts. Starting at 7 PM, live vocal and instrumental performances will be filling the beautiful Sacred Heart Music Center to benefit the many important programs of CHUM (Churches United in Ministry) and Sacred Heart. Accompanying the jazz and classical stylings of some of UMD’s most talented musicians will be a silent auction of original art pieces as well as a dessert and beverage bar bringing together some of the most delicious gifts the Duluth community has to offer.
Showing your support is as simple as showing up, but any monetary donations will also be greatly appreciated. So at 7 PM, May 2, bring all your friends and family to 201 W. Fourth St. and feel free to dance!

It’s Thurs-Sunday, April 29-May 2, 7 pm through Saturday, and 2 pm on Sunday. Don’t miss it–it’s at 322 Michigan St. in the Harbor City School Theater. The entrance is in the skywalk.
Right on, St. Paul!
Well, it’s sort of regional… might be a good idea for Duluth:

Everybody Outside! at Morgan Park on Saturday, May 1
If you’re looking for a pre- or post-Leif Erickson destination, or you’re looking for an alternate event for the day, bring the kids to the west side this Saturday between noon and 5 p.m. for Everybody Outside at Morgan Park.
A class group from UMD is putting this event on to offer outdoor recreation opportunities to kids from the whole Twin Ports area but kids in West Duluth specifically. We’ll have camping skills activities, birding by Lake Superior Zoo, disc golf, fishing skills with MinnAqua, skateboarding demos by Damage Boardshop, and slacklining and a bouldering wall to get kids active and outdoors. All activities are free and we’ll be having raffles and food concessions (with proceeds going to the Morgan Park Playground Fund). See you Saturday!

Danecdote Live – April 28
So I noticed after posting many a flyer around town that some people just didn’t like them, and proceeded to tear them down. Go figure. Anyways, this is my last ditch effort to get the people of Duluth down to the Rex tonight. I promise lots of fun and plenty of dancing opportunities.
My fellow Duluthians, I plead for your faces to appear tonight, and your bodies and your energy!
