Sunday, February 17
It is our mission with this story time to promote children’s books that shine a spotlight on a wide array of racial and cultural identities, genders, orientations, experiences and abilities. We want to create a space that places a special emphasis on promoting self love, empathy and a greater understanding of the strange, magical world we inhabit. There is serious deficit in children’s books that depict protagonists who are a people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ or any combination of the above. That is why Madeline and Sam’s Magical Story Time seeks out books that do just that. Positive representation in books is crucial to a child’s development of a positive self image. It can be absolutely life affirming for a child to see a protagonist who reflects them accomplishing anything they set their mind to. It is also crucial in developing empathy for a child to experience diversity at a young age. This story time will not only be educational, but spectacularly fun! Before each reading we will have one minute wiggle parties and coloring pages that correlate with that weeks books.
Winery tour and tasting @ Urban Forage Winery and Cider House, 3016 E Lake St • 1pm

Wild Read Book Club: Scribe @ Moon Palace Books, 3032 Minnehaha Ave • 2pm
Join the Wild Read Book Club for a discussion of Scribe by Alyson Hagy. Get your copy at Moon Palace for 20% off!
A haunting, evocative tale about the power of storytelling. A brutal civil war has ravaged the country, and contagious fevers have decimated the population. Abandoned farmhouses litter the isolated mountain valleys and shady hollows. The economy has been reduced to barter and trade.
In this craggy, unwelcoming world, the central character of Scribe ekes out a lonely living on the family farmstead where she was raised and where her sister met an untimely end. She lets a migrant group known as the Uninvited set up temporary camps on her land, and maintains an uneasy peace with her cagey neighbors and the local enforcer. She has learned how to make paper and ink, and she has become known for her letter-writing skills, which she exchanges for tobacco, firewood, and other scarce resources. An unusual request for a letter from a man with hidden motivations unleashes the ghosts of her troubled past and sets off a series of increasingly calamitous events that culminate in a harrowing journey to a crossroads.

Music in the House Series presents Sabyre Rae and Annie Frazier for an intimate seated concert.
Sabyre Rae:
When Sabyre Rae’s blues and jazz meanderings give way to her alt-country and folk roots, the result is a swampy, bayou-infused stomp all the way up the Mississippi River to the Heartland. With the soulfulness of Norah Jones and the Americana sensibilities of Lucinda Williams, the Minneapolis-based songstress draws from a vibrant palette of past and present musical influences at her live performances and off her debut EP Revel..
Annie Frazier:
A well-known vocalist in the Minneapolis music scene, Annie Frazier collaborates with musicians of all genres and styling’s including bluegrass, soul, jazz, folk and contemporary. She is known as a power house vocalist with a vibrant stage presence.

To Spill My Husband’s Blood Album Release w/ Amanda Standalone @ Music at Moon Palace, 3032 Minnehaha Ave • Tickets $10 in advance • $10-15 at the door • 7:30pm doors • 8:00pm show
Prints by Marie Stier, tunes by Rachel & Kyle (of Barbaro) and Amanda Standalone, & retold murder ballads by To Spill My Husband’s Blood
8pm Rachel & Kyle (of Barbaro)
8:45pm Amanda Standalone
9:30pm To Spill My Husband’s Blood
To Spill My Husband’s Blood is a foray into the dark world of traditional murder ballads. Julia Hobart (Mama Caught Fire) rewrites historical ballads from the perspective of the victims, honoring the real women who were murdered. Grounded in old time instrumentation, the music is a modern, feminist response to American folk tradition. To Spill My Husband’s Blood seeks to uncover what has historically been obscured: glimpses of the bold, peculiar, and creative personalities of women lost to violence.
Rachel Calvert & Kyle Shelstad from Barbaro will kick things off with a duo set. Barbaro’s music is at once lively and intimate, perfect for twirling around the dance floor or cooking with someone you love. The Minneapolis-Winona quartet have built momentum around their dynamic sound, each set flowing naturally between energetic jams and contemplative interludes. Their upcoming album, due out spring 2019, showcases their captivating songwriting, layered over textures pulled from bluegrass, jazz, pop, and country-western.
Amanda Standalone is an award-winning singer, songwriter, performer, and composer of music based in the American folk tradition. Her music is a soulful blend of acoustic folk/blues strongly influenced by American Roots music. She skillfully attacks the guitar, banjo, and her single-stringed washtub, while packing an extra punch with her rich vocals. Currently, Standalone is working on her 3rd album and performing around the Midwest.
MARIE STIER is a talented local print-maker, whose artwork adorns the finest posters of the Minneapolis old time music & dance scene. Check out her art at Block Prints by Marie Stier, and stay tuned for where to buy the To Spill My Husband’s Blood print series.

Crowded House: The Dreaded Inheritance @ Peace Coffee Wonderland Park, 3262 Minnehaha Ave • Community Room • 5:30pm **This is a donation based event. Your donations will help us defray setup costs and, ultimately, ensure that we’re able to continue offering events and classes to our community. Thank you!**
Are you freaked about the idea of inheriting your parents’ lifetime accumulation of stuff in the not-nearly-distant-enough future?
The emotional labor, investment of time, and direct financial costs involved in emptying a family estate on someone else’s behalf can not be understated. Our work with families dealing with these sorts of circumstances has made us intensely aware of the guilt, exhaustion, frustration, and conflict that often arise when tackling the pig in the python: a filled house, frequently offered up as ‘your inheritance.’
Our objective is to help second generation family members anticipate, and be aware of a series of issues and stages common with this major life transition. This workshop has a specific environmental angle: we’ve seen too many families default to filling a rolloff (or four) only to deal with the emotional aftermath of intensified regret: the throwing away of truckloads of useful things that belonged to important people is something we want to help you avoid.
This will not be a silver bullet, nor will we offer platitudes. Instead, during this ‘tell it to me straight’ info session, we’ll offer a new paradigm for the possession and divestment of material goods, explain the current market for secondhand items, discuss the unique opportunities and challenges that present for those with close connections to aging family members, and provide resources to help you and your sibs empty that house with or without the property’s primary resident involved.
You’ll leave the event with a clear understanding of your options and a list of resources, contacts, and strategies intended to help you and your family keep as much of a lifetime’s treasures out of the waste stream as possible. If you’d like to host this programming for your community, customer base, or private event, please co
Networking Happy Hour @ Du Nord Craft Spirits, 2610 E 32nd St • 5:30pm
Our November happy hour was a huge hit, and attendees said they wanted more! Join the Professional Editors Network for another Networking Happy Hour at Du Nord Craft Spirits.

We’re a community of editors, writers, proofreaders, indexers, communications and public relations specialists, page layout specialists and others who want to grow and learn as professionals. PEN encourages members to share knowledge, exchange job leads, market their services and grow professionally.
Boomer Downsizing Strategies: Do The Most Good @ Moon Palace Books, 3032 Minnehaha Ave • 9am **This is a donation based event. Your donations will help us defray setup costs and, ultimately, ensure that we’re able to continue offering events and classes to our community. Thank you!**
As boomers reach retirement, millennials embrace minimalism, and retailers spit out an ever-increasing barrage of product, those getting ready to downsize face a harsh reality: stuff isn’t worth much, demand is weak, and estate liquidators have become strategic about which clients they accept, leaving many seniors – and their families – to deal with decades of emotionally charged accumulation on their own.
Our objective is to help empty nesters know what to expect and how to plan for a major life transition in order to have the most positive experience and most successful outcomes possible.
During this ‘tell it to me straight’ info session, we’ll explain the current market for secondhand goods, discuss the unique opportunities and challenges that present for this particular age group and explain what is likely to happen at each phase of the downsizing process.
You’ll leave the event with a clear understanding of the stages involved, solutions for each stage, and a list of resources, contacts, and strategies intended to help you keep as many of your treasures out of the trash as possible.
