long live bleat!

I think it looks fine, though now I can't get "Dracula's Lair" out of my head. Thanks a lot, Brauer!

And yeah, why not share this video? They haven't created a product so great that I'm going to seek it out on the Strib site, so they should try to make this as shareable, spreadable and delicious as possible. (Please note, I like spreading my news video on toasted bagels.)

Thanks for this. I went to the Uptown on my 21st bday too, to see My Dad is Dead. Which was confusing, because he was (and is). More fond memories: Various Ed Ackerson bands, Jim Ruiz, Pavement, Built to Spill, Papas Fritas, Dandy Warhols, Vinnie & the Stardusters, too many more half-remembered good times.

I think WikiLeaks is stepping a little out of its league. And I agree, Orrick has been fantastic on this story.

"Some hackers" is most certainly the WRONG term to use in this story.

Hmm, I wonder how much traffic I'd need on MNstories.com to step into my own Buick SUV? At best, I'd be lucky to rename my bedroom studio "Zubaz No-Pants Studio."

In spite of his prickliness, I have to say "Advantage: Peck"

And yes, nice photo-illustration Corey.

MN Stories will have some hot pond hockey video from this year, later in the week.

Big congrats to Will - the Strib is losing one smart cookie.

All I can say to Judge Cleary is: "Aww, snap!"
