What's Going On?

The NARN will be observing one of its two "best of" days tomorrow. We've been pretty good about taking two days completely off per year - Christmas weekend and the weekend of Independence Day. So too this year.

Lots of stuff happening in the next few weeks.

For starters - one week from today is the NARN Scotch Tasting at Keegan's. $25 bucks gets you an evening of sampling some of the best Scotch you will ever have. Now,I'm not a big Scotch drinker - anything less smooth than the is too much like gargling gasoline - but even I will have to drop in for a snort or two. Plus Mike Nelson will be in, both to sell cigars from his new business venture, and presumably to heckle the Fraters.

Then, on July 15, the penultimate event of the regular NARN season - the Patriot Picnic. This year, the Bright Spot of Red will be deep in the heart of the Sea of Dingy, Institutional Blue; we'll be doing the party at Boom Island Park, on the Mississippi slightly upstream from Downtown Minneapolis. It'll be a blast; a live NARN broadcast, plus free lunch for those of you who get there on time (I think the first 400 or so get the goodies), plus all the fun we had last year, getting a couple of hundred of our closest friends together in one place.

And Pink Monkeybird won't have as far to ride!
