Fat Kid Jazz Trio at Cafe Maude

Cafe Maude continues to bring in outstanding local music and hey, it's free!

Tonight's local star, "Fat Kid" will be on stage around 9:00 after they leave their earlier gig at The Dakota. Gotta love a band with guts to double-book themselves - they certainly must have a lot of music to give to the people.  

Please go!  

Spring To It!

Congrat's Jon Radle!

Grand Cafe's Jon Radle won this year MN Monthly's Food & Wine Local Chef Challenge.  This win is a bit more personal to me, as Jon's first night at Grand Cafe was the night the restaurant catered our wedding in August 2007.

Congrat's Jon and to Grand Cafe!

Local Movement Even Stronger

One of our family's weekly stops, The Electric Fetus, is expanding their independent local vibe. MinnEconomy, will feature local Minnesota musicians, artists, and designers, showcasing the talent in our state. The featured items will be 10% off for that month in all three of their stores, but not online.


The Fetus rocks in so many ways.
