- Head over to the frozen flats of Medicine Lake to see art and ice fishing collide in an only-in-Minnesota winter extravaganza known as The Shanty Project. I'm not exactly sure what it's all about, but it's gotta be worth checking out. "Roll down all car windows, head west" - great stuff. [Jan15-Feb19]
- Brian Williams is bringing the NBC crew here to study how Minnesota's identity is changing. He's taping the show over at the Fitzgerald Theatre and will be interviewing - brace yourself - Garrison Keillor. They're not selling tickets (there's no audience) but if you've got some free time, I think it'd rule to make up a shirt that says "Ordinary Minnesotan" and go stand on the sidewalk in front of the place. Maybe they'd get the message. Doofs. [Jan12]
- Get down with some pick-up hockey. Or maybe just some shuffling around on old figure skates that make your feet hurt. The forecast calls for 96 straight hours of below zero weather, the ice is gonna be mint. Find Minneapolis area rinks, beat the Winter Carnival rush at the Landmark Center rink in St. Paul, or just walk down to your neighborhood sheet. [thru spring]
- It's the last weekend for the Holiday Flower show over at the Conservatory in Como Park. Go for the flowers, stay for the humidity. [thru Jan15]
- Go Vikes.
