Now that the weather is getting especially unbearable and cold, I find myself reverting back to the music I listened to this summer. Calpurnia hit the music scene late last spring. In this four piece band that originated in Vancouver, Canada, Calpurnia’s music hit the indie rock community with a bang. The group is comprised…
BREW in your own backyard
“There’s no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this.” Though the author is unknown, this quote has long been one of my favorites. It reminds me that no matter where I am, all I have to do is look around to find something new, exciting, or interesting. On Saturday, I had…
Airpods: the new pop culture war
This one’s about pop culture feuds. Scratch that. This one’s about pop culture wars. In the 60s, it was the Beatles vs. the Stones. In the 80s, Lakers vs. Celtics.

Rourke Art Museum displays interesting variety of exhibits
Quiet, calm and sophisticated, the Rourke Art Museum exists as a tiny backdrop to the Plains Art Museum in Fargo. Despite that, it’s no less interesting.
