Duluth Mommy Blogger needs your vote

There’s an unusual mommy blog out there for the thinking parent looking to find stimulating and educational reading for his or her kids. It’s called Delightful Children’s Books. And it’s the work of a mom right here in Duluth (not me).

The blog has been nominated Parenting Magazine for a Best All-Around Mom Blog. It could use your vote. You just need to hit this link, register and vote.

I wrote a little something about her and her blog at urbangirlinterrupted.blogspot.com or you can just go to her site and learn everything you need to know.

Acceleratii Fish Fry at the Loading Zone!

Friday at the world-famous Loading Zone Bar in Superior the Acceleratii are throwing another hillbilly time-warp fish fry and recording a live CD to be released this winter.  This event is going to be nuts. Five bucks gets you admission and some fish & chips. This fish is damn good, people.  Food at 9PM, music at 10PM.  24 Winter St. (take the High Bridge over to Hammond, left one block after Dan’s Feed Bin on Winter — all the way to the end). The Zone is cash-only and there’s no ATM. There’s not even a phone. But this is gonna be good. Here’s a link to the Facebook event page.

I’ve called Midas in West Duluth and Arrowhead Amoco, and they are both charging upwards of $100. Does anyone know of anywhere with good service that would be any cheaper? Thanks in advance!

Since 2002, thousands of individuals who have experienced a brain injury, their loved ones, and the professionals who work with them have come together for one event to commemorate their strength and success as well as to remember those who were lost to brain injury.
