Tue update: Madison Line Records/iPad, Dynaflow/Deering & Down @ Double J, art @ Calvary, and more

It’s Tuesday News Day. Next week I’ll be off work so it will be Tuesday Booze Day instead. Don’t worry, there will still be a post. Probably a much more interesting post.

Madison Line Records is giving away an iPad 3. Check out their Facebook page for details on how to enter to win.

Double J SmokeHouse and Saloon has announced two great bands for Friday on their Front Porch stage. Dynaflow and also Deering and Down will perform 9 PM to 1 AM. Free show. Pro tip: Come hungry and have a meal at the Double J.

Downtown is known for its many art galleries, but for the next month you can see art by going to church as well. Until June 15, 120 works by Russian abstract exhibitionist Ludmila Pawlowska, along with traditional icons from the Vassilevsky Monastery/Suzdal, will be on display at Calvary Episcopal Church at 102 N. Second. Docent-led tours from 10 AM-3 PM Tuesday-Friday, or you can call the church to make special arrangements. The exhibit includes many large sculptural pieces, many of which will be suspended in the church.

My plan for tonight is, of course, poker at the Blind Bear. Jamie runs the game and it starts at 8 PM. Free to play. With my recent losing streak, maybe I need to rub a rabbit’s foot for good luck. Or better yet, maybe I need to rub a tube top for good luck.

I missed poker with Poker Jon at the Silly Goose last night, but it was the last Monday I’ll have to miss. I was over at the Saucer getting beers done for my sixth plate, while I could get them at the Pint Nite price of $3. Last night’s beers got me to 198. I’m off all next week, so I’ll get there next Monday around 4 (where else would I be at 4?) and knock out the last two, with plenty of time to spare for Jon’s 7:30 game.

Time to grab some wings, then go to a meeting. I’m using my iPad instead of pen and paper for meetings now. Wow I accidentally am doing something environmentally friendly. Yay me.
