Homegrown Music Video Festival
This weekend was the Homegrown Music Video Festival. Friday night I drew “Rise Up!” by the Black-Eyed Snakes out of the big tophat filled with songs. Then we had the weekend to make a music video. So this is what I did. If you ain’t from around these parts, you probably won’t get some of the local references. But hopefully you can enjoy it anyway.
The big premiere was Monday. I couldn’t make it, but I heard it was fabulous fun. 13 entries all together. Dang good for a first-time event.
Look for the other contributions at perfectduluthday.com
And Friday, I’ll be playing with Tangier 57 at the Red Star, and we’ll have an apron fashion show with Rachel Hart of Apron Elegance. Swanky sassy fun.

8 commentsZazzle Today’s Best Award
So I just signed up for a Zazzle account, played around and loaded up a few things, and right away, I got a “Today’s Best Award” for a design. Cool. Honestly, I don’t know if that’s a big deal or not. The design is a reworking of a Tangier 57 poster I made a couple years ago.
There are several other designs in the Zazzle store, and I’m going to continue uploading things as I develop them or dig up old doodles from my files.
Guinea pigs for Minnpost.com
Hey, have you heard about the economy sucking?
When I was in college in Lincoln, NE, there was a place where students and others who may need some extra cash could go to serve as medical guinea pigs. Taking various medications and then getting blood and other tests to monitor various effects. Sometimes this could be pretty lucrative “work” especially from a college student’s perspective. I never did any of the tests, but had plenty of friends who spent lots of time there, so there was always some mystique surrounding the place.
Seems that these labs are seeing a new type of “client” with the crappy economy. Real Estate agents are one of the fastest growing groups spending time in the labs to make some extra cash.
