Something Shiny

Apparently the Walker walked out on their annual Music and Music in the Park series this year, but City Pages is moving forward without them. And without the Walker’s direction, the film selection is much more… accessible (I believe that’s the current euphemism for less snooty). As usual, shows are Monday nights in August. After-parties are at Nick & Eddie.

Aug. 3: Raising Arizona + Communist Daughter
After-party: Estate

Aug. 10: Fargo + Marijuana Deathsquads
After-party: City On The Make

Aug. 17: Juno + Mayda
After-party: Pink Mink

Aug. 24: Nobody + Red Pens
After-party: The Goondas

Four Nights In Loring brings music and movies back to the park | Music | Just Announced | The A.V. Club Twin Cities.

Mmmm… wine, lots and lots of wine. The City Pages annual wine tasting event is this Friday 4/3.

City Pages Wine Tasting presented by MGM – Eventbrite.

From City Pages:

Hundreds of wines, delicious appetizers, great live music and a silent auction – all in one room! It’s the spring edition of the City Pages Wine Tasting presented by MGM.

The event features a variety of more than 250 wines, including some of the best domestic and imported wines available at metro area MGM locations. Enjoy an incredible array of wines and live music from Rare Medium. A portion of proceeds from the event benefit The Southern Theater – a non-profit organization which provides a vibrant home for performance, fostering a multiplicity of voices, and catalyzing connections among artists and audience. In addition to the vast selection of wine, your admission includes complimentary light appetizers (while supplies last) from award-winning D’Amico Catering, voted one of the Twin Cities best caterers.

Tickets are $28 in advance at MGM locations (no ticket fees) and through www.citypages.com/winetasting – ($0.99/ticket service charges apply); or $35 at the door the night of the event. A $10 designated driver ticket is also available. Admission includes all wine samples and light appetizers from D’Amico Catering. Must be 21 or older to participate and present valid ID upon entering the event.
