For the love of ghettoblasters

September 09, 2008
by Melissa Slachetka, TC Daily Planet • September 9, 2008 • After a plethora of printed designs, a hit summer DJ series at Jitters, customized bike frames, and recycled billboard messenger bags, you may wonder what's next for Overproof. Well, you won't be disappointed. Come out to Club Jager this Saturday night and experience a tribute event like no other. Some of the best DJs in the area will gather to take part in a celebration of Radio Raheem—the character from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (1989) who walks around with a boom box playing Public Enemy's "Fight the Power”—and his entire era. Available for attendees to snag will be custom-printed t-shirts and "fun Nickelodeon prizes."
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.

All that and 2-1 taps and cocktails makes me definitely want to lean back, beer in hand, and listen to some ghetto-blasters battle it out. It will be like summer all over again. Doors open at 8 p.m., and there isn't even any cover charge. For those who can't make it in person, KFAI will be broadcasting live from Club Jager from 9:00-11:00 p.m.
Also in the Daily Planet, read Melissa Slachetka's interview with Overproof's Joseph Belk.

THEATER | At the Chanhassen, "Footloose" is fun

By Rebecca Mitchell, TC Daily Planet

More than a decade since the musical originally opened on Broadway and over 25 years since the film it was based on was released, Footloose still resonates. The musical, currently playing at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, isn't an artistic breakthrough and it isn't the best show I expect to see all year, or even all month. It is, however, an energetic experience that's sure to meet audience expectations for a fun night out. And beyond the expected dance show, this staging offers an additional emotional punch, underscoring the various ways we deal with heartache and the ties that bind us.MORE »

My inbox

By Mary Turck, TC Daily Planet

Many news stories go untold every day, judging by the overload of news releases and notices that arrive in my inbox every day. I get at least a hundred real messages daily (in addition to almost as many spam messages that slide right on through the filters). As I scan these, I look for stories that we can assign to freelance writers, and wish for more community reporters to write about what is happening in their communities. Here's what 24 hours looks like:MORE »
