Minnesota Daily (mndaily.com) reporter Rebecca Lang contributes this story about the recent announcement of the closure of Chambers Kitchen, the spacious and airy contemporary dining room and bar at Chambers, a luxury art hotel located in Minneapolis' theater district on Hennepin Avenue. Local restaurant owners D'Amico and Partners and their restaurant chain D'Amico and Sons have bought the space, and will be taking occupancy after Chambers Kitchen closes by month's end this July. On a recent visit to Minneapolis over the Fourth of July weekend, friends and I enjoyed breakfast at Chambers -- perhaps, the best in town -- featuring a great menu, fresh ingredients, and excellent and friendly service. We also headed back for drinks and enjoyed their ginger margarita (superb!) and bloody Mary (delicious). We learned that it would be last call for Chambers before closing down for good. The room will probably not look the same when D'Amico's moves in. Chambers hotel owner Ralph Burnet graces the restaurant interior and lobby with his impressive contemporary art collection, notably the stunning painting "L.W.S.2." (2001) by Ashley Bickerton featuring a spectacular image of a man dressing in a flophouse room, rich in moody sexual detail, and the haunting bust of a middle-aged man by Evan Penny titled "(Old) No One-In Particular #6, Series 2" (2005). The concept of both Chambers Kitchen and Hotel is distinctive, contemporary and fun, and their Kitchen will be greatly missed.

If you live in the Minnesota/St. Paul, or northern Wisconsin area, perhaps you would be intersted in attending the FLYWAY FILM FESTIVAL in the beautiful and affordable resort town of Pepin, Wisconsin.
My independent feature, LOOP, will screen this Saturday night, October 11, in the 9PM (Central) Film Block along with the award winning independent movies, "Standing on a Whale," and "Marta's Sex Tape."
The Lake Pepin Art & Design Center is hosting the festival and will screen 32 cutting edge, though provoking and entertaining films.
I will be leaving tonight by car to attend the festival and I thought it would be a good opportunity to meet some friends from current_.
And no, I'm not making any money off of it. I don't really know where anyone lives, but I thought I'd put it out there if you are an indy film lover.If you live in the Minnesota/St. Paul, or northern Wisconsin area, perhaps you would... more

Trace Crutchfield, gonzo purist and world traveler, is infamous for reporting from exotic locations such as the Favelas of Sao Paolo to the shoe closet of Imelda Marcos for VBS, Superdeluxe and MTV. His latest stop: VC2 producer and Current correspondent at the DNC.
The summer of 2008's Republican and Democratic Conventions offer an opportunity for Current TV to launch a new brand of political coverage aimed at the 18-30 year old demographic. Political gadflies in lock step with Party foot soldiers will swarm Denver and Minneapolis looking for a refuge to pull together shaky party unities. But will the distractions prove too tempting to conventioneers immersed in the political super bowls of their lives? And will the host cities be as welcoming as each local Party officials hope?
Host, Trace Crutchfield will alternate interviewing politicos and local "insurgents" (extremists who plan to cause disruptions) with a detailed City Guide that explores the fringes of each town --beautiful fashionistas, marginalized characters and locals only joints-- the kinds of people and places Current's audience won't find in a conventional or online guide.
Show 2, "UnConventionally Yours, Minneapolis- St Paul" will take us to north to to the Twin Cities to explore if we are the verge of the last hurrah for the Reagan Revolution? Is the liberal decadence too alluring to a Republican backbone weakened by crisis upon crisis? Remember Larry Craig. Would Jesse Ventura line up against a gay rugby side?Trace Crutchfield, gonzo purist and world traveler, is infamous for reporting from... more

Promoting the good bicycling culture in Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, a collaboration between a photographer and media arts studio has been born. Sounds like a great event to participate if you are in the area and share your bike love.

"...We decided to do something to give back to the Twin Cities to help promote and support a local community that we admire – the local bicycle commuter community.
Minnesota has one of the largest year-round bicycle commuter communities in the country – impressive considering our harsh winters. In order to celebrate and promote biking as a healthy, economic, and traffic reducing lifestyle – we’ve decided to organize a group photo taking place on October 4, 2008 at 3:00pm, rain, shine, or snow, for everyone and anyone who pedals their way around in this crazy world.
Sign up for the Unite Bike 2008 group photo under the RSVP tab to find out the final location and we will see you there.
Unite! Bike! ..."Attention pedal lovers at Twin Cities!!!
