Whoa!

My founding fathers

No Canada!

Dillinger 4.

I have from a very reliable source that the soccer match is on at Hoovers. And A rockin’ version of GImMe Some Lovin’ on Touch Tunes. And Fox News on the other TV.

If you care about supportive permanent housing and getting homeless people in to actual homes, this is a big effin' deal.

Can’t Hardly Bocce Black Hart Bar summer champs!! Trophy back in its rightful home. @atrupar.com @djgloverepair.bsky.social @blackhartstp.com @wesburdine.bsky.social @normcharlatan.bsky.social

Having been part of the planning and development of Heritage Park, this is really sad. Also by early 2018 when I left MPHA, it was already known HP had capital improvement needs.

I’ve been watching this guy play bass since 1982

Ultrabomb. Turf Club

Key-tar sighting at The Turf Club.

I’m all ready to celebrate when “It” happens.

Cabo Verde does not know how to finish.

I've been getting stories from parents about this time. Two very young (19-21) parents living in an apartment at 2120 Garfield (behind current day Wedge Coop). Mom got a secretary job and the next door 20-something neighbor watched me. They kept in touch for 60 years and she died just recently.

Hey @chrissteller.bsky.social Re: has anyone gone through old Mpls Greyhound station and then later performed at First Ave. Well... in 1964, me & mom took a bus from there to Duluth. And once I yelled "Rise Above" in Henry Rollins' mic at a First Ave Black Flag show. Technically not from the stage.

Whoa!

Dang that was a rocket!

Local rock legend Robert Wilkinson

Flaming Ohs. Mears Park

Kim Gordon. First Avenue.

If anyone is interested in the July 21 Pavement show at the Palace, TickPick has them for $50, which is practically half of what they originally went for.

Melismatics. 7th Street Entry.

I lent my youngest my Tweedy autobiography and Trouble Boys Replacements biography.

All Tomorrow’s Pettys. Turf Club.

Too warm for your cool ass corduroy St. Paul jacket? Now there’s a hipster St Paul work shirt. saints.milbstore.com/collections/...

Can't Hardly Bocce are the @blackhartstp.com Thursday night league champs! Great shooting tonight Pete, @atrupar.com and @freealonzo.bsky.social

Oh Panama.

Hey @mccollum.house.gov at least one of your constituents was arrested yesterday by the Feds on trumped up "conspiracy" charges. Would be nice to hear from you condemning these arrests. Look to @ilhanmn.bsky.social if you need help crafting a message.

Well @comobelladonna.bsky.social not only getting wins today but multiple goals from Mbappé, Haaland, and Messi

Crap I know one of the defendants. Erik Davis.

This is from 1985.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov with D’s now in the majority, why not call a special session and get that gun bill passed.

Not only is Omar a great politician, she is cool as fuck too.

Wow!

Switzerland v. Qatar has kicked off!

Almost game time!

Scenes outside “stadium.” Swiss v. Qatar.

Hello I’m the self-appointed @blackhartstp.com correspondent for today’s Qatar v. Switzerland @2026worldcup.bsky.social match. Feel free to AMA about game, how I got tix, general vibe, transportation, crowd reaction. Right now at Oakland Amtrak station which will take me directly to Levi Stadium.

I’m At this Mission District bar that has old school obscure rockabilly playing over the PA and C-level hair metal bands (Kix) on the TVs. Somehow it works.

When your drummer looks like Elvis, you know the rockabilly band is going to be legit.

At this point the USMNT goalie has completed Wordle, Connections, and Strands.

I’m not sure if this is Chonker but it’s by far the biggest sea lion at Pier 39. @comobelladonna.bsky.social

My very late night, extremely enthusiastic recap of seeing two Belle and Sebastian in SF. Good photos too.

Hey @cinatyte.bsky.social if it’s not too late or even possible, you need to check out these B and S shows. They are sublime.

Belle and Sebastian night two. Masonic San Francisco

San Francisco Workd Cup watch party. Mexico v. South Africa. I don’t see any South African kits here

Belle and Sebastian. Masonic San Francisco.

San Francisco is wild in that the Tenderloin is literally minutes away from Nob Hill. The disparities one sees in a few short blocks is a poignant telling of the USA as it’s about to celebrate 250 years.
