four items of business

#1: Can you correctly identify the downtown Minneapolis music venue to which this futuristic, stink-tastic, metallic/decalic men's bathroom belongs?



#2: Yes, there ARE people crazier than you. And one of them, of particular interest to me since I am a huge Superman fan, spends his summer months on the corner of Division and 25th in St. Cloud, fighting justice one blue and red, sweated-out tank-top at a time, flag in hand. He's actually pretty cool- says it's all a metaphor for injustice done to those who are too ignorant to ask otherwise, and who are thus taken advantage of by...(kryptonite?)


#3: This week Friday marks Movieonawallapalooza 2007, my own little attempt to...gulp...host something akin to a party but subject to far fewer social rules, and thus far less likely to result in my death-by-faux-pas. We're planning to project a movie onto a large bedsheet taped to the wall, thus simulating the theatre experience, but without the theatre or the seats or the popcorn. There will be wine, though. We're showing "Los Amantes del CĂ­rculo Polar"...going with the whole "international film society" model to show our true class.

#4: I AM HEREBY SUSPENDING THIS ONLINE STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS BLOG THING UNTIL I FINISH MY THESIS, OR UNTIL I LEAVE FOR ARGENTINA ON JUNE 25TH, AT WHICH TIME IT WILL TRANSFORM INTO A COLLECTION OF WITTY TRAVEL ESSAYS TO RIVAL THOSE OF PAUL THEROUX. OR MAYBE RICK STEVES, BUT ONLY IF HE WERE ON CRACK.
