Basilica Block Party day one

Several bows must be made by me to Meghan Gustafson and Emily Hjelm for asking me to be the official St. Mary's Basilica Block Party photographer. 

Imagine planning a 2 day, 3 stage, 12 (or so) band event.  That's exactly what Meghan (fellow ISES member) and Emily are responisble for creating every year in an around the grounds of the Basilica in downtown Minneapolis.  The volunteer orginazation was insane, the production quality, timing and exectution was seriously top-dollar, and holy crap - the talent!!!

Well anyway, this some of day one.  Day two to follow shortly.

Fitz and the Tantrums

FINALLY! I got to see the Jayhawks.

Summer time.

Lead singer of Fitz and the Tantrums with his people.

Michael Franti and Spearhead.  Some say this was the best show they'd ever seen. 

David Gray.  Damn he can sing.

 

Boys will be boys.

Just a cutie.

Gather presents guest chef Alex Roberts

D'Amico Catering's newest restaurant, Gather, located in the Walker Art Museum, invited renowned chef Alex Roberts to come in for one evening to offer its patrons a taste of a few of his favorite menu items.  Alex is owner and executive chef of Restaurant Alma, Brasa Minneapolis, and Brasa St. Paul.  He is also the winner of the 2010 James Beard Award for Best Chef/Midwest). 

And I have to say, on the line, Alex might be the calmest chef I've ever seen.  It's like he's meditating while cooking.
