Best of Bond
|
|
From 1962's Dr. No through last year's Skyfall, the cinematic adventures of British secret agent 007, otherwise known as James Bond, have entertained audiences for over 50 years with a trusty formulaic blend of megalomaniacal villains, seductive women, and audacious action. Though certain... More >> |

Happy Hours
|
|
Located on the first floor of the condo stacks mere blocks from Lake and Lyndale, Tiger Sushi is an easy place to stop in for a sushi fix on days when the super-popular Fuji-Ya is a bit too crowded.

Open Blues Jam with Moses Oakland
|
|
Moses Oakland relocated from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities back in 1987, and since then -- well, it'd probably be easier and less space-consuming to list all the venues he hasn't played and the legends he hasn't gigged with. A blues, soul and jazz aficionado well-versed in a wide array of... More >> |

Painter Painter

#NameThisExhibit: 1200 Birchwood Plaques
|
|
Anyone who has taken a road trip to a small, picturesque town has probably seen a birchwood plaque. Traditionally, artists — often of the amateur or untrained variety — would paint a scenic bit of nature onto an oval-shaped slice of wood. These types of artworks tend to show up on... More >> |

Daily Happy Hours

Things are happening in the Kingfield neighborhood. A few years ago the area was considered more residential; if you wanted to barhop your best bet was to stay in the Lyn-Lake area just north of the region. However, thanks to places like King's Wine Bar, Patisserie 46, and Jack's (formerly Java... More >> |

An Iliad
|
|
Sometimes, the old stories are the best ones, and there are few older than Homer's The Iliad. The poem is nearly 3,000 years old, but the tale of the last days of the Trojan War and the terrible toll it takes on both sides of the fight proves that human nature hasn't changed all that much since...

Stick Fly
|
|
Whatever their artistic merit, theatrical comic dramas concerning "families in crisis" tend to follow a recognizable formula. Strand estranged family members in a confined space, unearth a lifetime's worth of buried grievances, and let the cathartic chaos lead to a renewed bond. With Stick Fly,... More >> |

In the Zone

On the Town

Leaning Tower Happy Hour
|
|
Of the many bars scattered along Lyndale Avenue, the Leaning Tower of Pizza is one that truly feels like a neighborhood bar. There's parking across the street by the laundromat, but it is usually pretty empty because most customers walk or bike over for the evening. While many patrons stick to... More >> |

More Real? Art in the Age of Truthiness
|
|
As Stephen Colbert has posited, we live in an age of "truthiness." He may have been referring to politics, but the same could be said for contemporary art. Are those really irreplaceable dynastic urns that Wei Wei is smashing or coating in brightly colored paint? Are Joel Lederer's images of... More >> |

Convolution

You might find yourself asking what it is you're looking at in "Everything Is Entrance," on exhibit in the SooVAC's Main Gallery space. That's kind of the point, as Lori Esposito's large-scale drawings are a bit Rorschach test, a bit black-light poster, a bit meditative mandala. "When we don't... More >> |
