An Awesome View of Life

Today's adventure in the Uptown area of Minneapolis.  This was found inside Calhoun Square.  And there is a cooking school in this mall as well.  I might have to look into that.  I'm taking a bunch of art classes this fall so maybe I can take some cooking classes this winter.  Hmmm...

This past Friday the 13th was spent with my brother in our hometown of New Ulm, MN.  We were a bit early for our planned adventure so added a flight of sour beers at The Starkellar.  This is a pretty cool place. This was our planned stop.  Happy Hour on the Deck at The Grand Center for the Arts and Culture.  Mr. Lee Weber was amazing.  Love the atmosphere here at The Grand. My goal is to get the City of New Ulm to convert some of the empty storefronts in the downtown area into some kind of fun hotel.  It would be so wonderful to be able to take advantage of the amazing music scene downtown New Ulm has going on and not have to either drive home or to the other end of town to one of the few hotels in town.  I would have to imagine the downtown bars would like to see the same thing?

On August 18th I was lucky enough to have these wonderful people attend The Woodstock Festival at The Grand Center for Arts &Culture in New Ulm, MN. Above are my daughters, below are my daughters and my brother.  I do believe a good time was had by all. Some of the other hippies and festivities.  Thank you to Anne for all of her hard work. The music was amazing.  Above is Steve Vonderharr, Kit Kildahl, and Josh Gravelin. Above and below The Organic Cowboys Another great band.   Scott Sparlin, Tony Berg, Terry Sveine,  Bruce Melzer and Lee Weber This was a great day of great music.  We met so many wonderful, inspiring people.
