Get your toady whipped on West 7th

by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • 10/2/08 •

This Friday night at St. Paul’s Mad Hatter Tea House, Rick Griffith will be kicking off the Halloween season with his annual “Magic Lute Show.” That’s right, folks. We’re talking authentic live lute music, readings from Renaissance-era sources on witchcraft and alchemy, and, Griffith promises, “a few choice bits of legerdemain and mental chicanery.” The show, which starts at 7 p.m., is free; Griffith accepts tips.

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.


Even if you hate lute music, distrust magicians, and are glad the Renaissance is finally frickin’ over, it’s worth a stop for the Mad Hatter’s baked goods alone. (Getting yourself baked for the show might also not be a bad idea, but the Mad Hatter staff probably can’t help you there.) For a more complete description of this oughtn’t-miss show—and an explanation of the above headline—see this article in The Rake.

News you can use

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
