Collins sighting
I'm told that the dearly departed (at least temporarily from this page) Bob Collins will be taking part in an event tonight at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis.
It's about money and politics and also features Jeff Blodgett and Judy Blaseg.
It's sponsored by the Citizens League and The Current. Doors open at 5:30, program starts at 6:30. Here's the release from The Current:
We all know that politics and money "go together." The conventional wisdom says that it takes money to get elected.. But does more money always mean a better chance of winning? Is it just about advertising? And is this how we really want things to be, anyway? Join 89.3 The Current and The Citizens League at our next Policy and a Pint when we'll delve into the relationship between money and elections in America, and look at Minnesota's own unique history.
Varsity Theater, 1308 4th St. SE, in Minneapolis' Dinkytown
Cost: $10; $5 for students with valid ID.
Reserved tickets not picked up by 6:20 may be given away.
Shouldn't they say the "air-conditioned Varsity Theater?"
