I don’t even care if they are good. We finally get to enjoy outdoor baseball. That’s good enough for me. That said, any team with Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau will be good.

70 Million by Hold Your Horses ! on Vimeo (via Vimeo)

An entertaining and cheeky music video for “70 Million”, hit song by Franco-American band, Hold Your Horses!, offers a wink at art history as band members playfully reconstruct famous paintings in an off the wall lyrical interpretation all their own. Produced by L’Ogre.

El Nuevo Rodeo is Lake Street’s answer to the downtown clubs—a Latino-focused venue in the heart of Minneapolis’s Latino neighborhood. Recently, Latin drag queens took the stage. One Sunday, there was Spanish karaoke.

But if Minneapolis gets its way, all this entertainment will soon be a thing of the past. The city is pushing to shut down the Rodeo. The nightclub’s future lies in the hands of a judge who is deciding whether to recommend that the City Council yank its liquor license.

El Nuevo Rodeo facing possible last hurrah on Lake Street

I’ve never been to the nightclub on a weekend night, and while I’m sure they have all the problems most nightclubs seem to face, it would be really bad for the neighborhood if it closed down. I’ve been to El Nuevo Rodeo for an event, and it is a great space, and the restaurant on the ground level is really good, definitely the best Mexican food East of Hiawatha.

This intersection is one of the most diverse areas in the city, and they don’t get enough credit for it. Everyone talks about Eat Street, but Lake and Minnehaha has everything from Mexican to Sushi to New American to Indian to Singaporean-Ethiopian to Chinese. Oh and a Denny’s.

Hopefully the city can figure out how to keep it open, as it seems like the owner has worked with the city, and I’d really hate to see that space vacant.

Sports technology

The MLB At Bat app has been around for a while, but I just decided to drop the $15 for it this morning. I love listening to baseball on the radio, but I don’t have an AM radio in the house, so having an app for my iPod Touch is going to be great. Of course it would be better if I had an iPhone, but I’m at home or work most of the time anyway, so I don’t mind using the wi-fi connection to listen. The app features live audio, mlb gameday, and video highlights.

Highly recommended if you don’t already have the app.
