Starving Artist Barter??
Dear Duluthians,
You might have seen some of my art at Bohemia Arts, and if not, please do come see it, because if you like it: I am hoping to trade existing paintings, commissions, and/or mural work for a) a decent bike b) a canoe in working order c) a kayak that floats and/or d) misc hauling equipment and useful accessories for said objects. Or other awesome stuff to trade for might be considered too…
Thank you kindly,
maria sippola
It’s the last day to file for office in Duluth
Have you made up your mind yet? Are you running for a City Council or School Board seat? Well, it’s too late now, unless you want to be a write-in candidate.
Cracked Egg Improv, a wing of Rubber Chicken Theater, debuts this Thursday
Every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 8pm, starting July 23rd, come to Dubh Linn Comedy Pub and watch us make it up as we go along. Just five bucks. That is a lot of intentional comedy for five bucks. (I know, I know. You get more from City Hall every day and that’s free, but what can you do?)
www.RubberChickenTheater.com or (218) 213-2780 for more info.
USOs: Unidentified stationary objects
Can anyone help me figure out what exactly this might be? I was thinking of taking a bike ride from Duluth to Grand Rapids avoiding Hwy 2 and thought this road might be nice, but this “thing” has me puzzled. There’s another one north west a few miles…

What are they chucking out the window in Rice Lake Township?
I took a one-mile walk with the dog this evening. Litter found (and picked up / disposed of properly) along the road:
– Minnesota trailer license plate
– The back of a child-size guitar
– Walgreens receipt for three pounds of epsom salts, nothing else ($3.44)
– Note reading: OFFICE MAX
– remains of a Deli Express sandwich container

Back to Basics
Pickup Baseball Game
Sunday, July 19 | 3:30 p.m.
Chester Bowl Park
That’s baseball, not softball. This is a pickup game for grownups who can’t remember the last time they felt the ol’ wood smack the cowhide. Pitches will be lobbed, not that anyone who can throw hard will show up anyway.
There’s nothing official about this game, I just got the invite and was told to spread the word. If there’s an organized youth soccer game or something else going on at Chester, the game might get moved to Woodland or something, so it might help to show up on time if you want to be in the know about a possible relocation.
Greg Connor – “Honking Tree”
New song “Honking Tree” commemorating the White Pine cut down by vandals last April. Written by amateur songwriter Greg Connor.

News Tribune Cubicle Redux?
This story just went up on the News Tribune web site and I swear they are using the cubicles from their office. I remember an earlier post that talked about the same things and this looks familiar except last time they took the image down fairly quickly. Am I crazy or am I right?
