Marc Summers, is that you?!

July 07, 2008
by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • July 6, 2008 • We just received a press release from one Samuel Rockwell, a Minneapolis native who is currently the drummer for the Brooklyn-based band The XYZ Affair. The band is coming to the Nomad Pub on July 26, and Rockwell sent a few links in hopes of drumming up some press interest. It worked! This is the video for their song "All My Friends." I never watched enough Nickelodeon to recognize most of the actors making cameos here, but I sure as hell know a Marc Summers when I see one—gray hair or no. Way to be a good sport, Marc. My family enjoyed many hours of Double Dare, and we forgive you for endorsing the janky board game adaptation.
Arts Orbit is a multisource blog about the local arts scene, featuring both original contributions by Daily Planet writers and entries reprinted from partner blogs and online publications.

Update 7/7: Responding to this post, Rockwell writes, "I never watched Nickelodeon as a kid, so I had no idea who these guys were either. Looking forward to being back in the Twin Cities, and am finally starting to feel like I can be a little snobby about baseball out here in New York, as the Twins are a bulldozer."

Weekend What's What: The pre-holiday spirit

By l'etoile magazine

As we delve into November, we bid adieu to any possibilities of running around sans jacket—and we've come to terms with that (the first real snowfall, however, is another matter entirely). And what better to turn our focus to than the holidays? Thanksgiving is right around the corner, followed directly by the gifty season, and the Twin Cities artsy types seem to be easing us slowly but surely into the spirit of, um, buying their cool stuff. This weekend, hit up the Northrup King Building to peruse and purchase local art and related wares during Art Attack; check out The Affair at the Convention Center for festive tastings of chocolate, wine and the like; or stop into local boutiques such as Drama and Cliche to catch deals on fancy frocks for all the swanky parties that approach.MORE »
