Har to the Mar SUPERSTAR

Minnesota's finest, most eligable bachelor (hopefully nothing has changed) is coming back to Minneapolis for not one but TWO shows this November. More specifically Har Mar Superstar is playing at the Varsity Theater on Friday, November 6th after he is done with his previous headlining show at the Triple Rock.
Normally I am the kind of super fan that would go to both shows, but I have already bought Minnesota Wild tickets for the game against the Vancouver Canucks on November 5th so I can't make that one. But I will 100$ be at the Varsity for this one. If you have not seen Har Mar before you haven't lived.

He is touring in support of his new album: Dark Touches. Not every city gets the back to back shows like Minneapolis. Har Mar was actually just here last month to play a show at the Uptown Bar, which as you may know is closing in less than a week. Har Mar wanted to play there one last time before it closed, as a musician who has played the bar circuit in Minneapolis as extensively as he has, the Uptown Bar was one he frequented. Oasis played there even! It's a legendary place to say the least.

I am going to tell a story. The story of how Har Mar was introduced to my life. It all started back in 11th grade when my friend, Rachel and I went to a Hives concert at good ol First Ave. One of our other favorite bands at the time, The Mooney Suzuki, was supposed to open for them, but their van broke down and were stuck in Chicago. Since they still needed an opening act they called the 'house act' at the time, which was Har Mar Superstar. We were in awe while we watched a short, hairy man fashioning a skullet that looked like ron Jeremy's brother danced on stage to a mini disc player and took off his clothes. It was love. At the end of the show we got free tickets to see his next show at First Avenue and at that one we got more free tickets to the show after that, etc.

It's cool to see him as such a successful person. Har Mar lives in Los Angeles, he has been in movies, vodka ads, toured with so many of my favorite bands, but he always comes back to play shows for his peeps in Minneapolis. Much love to Har Mar. I have been to more of your shows than I can count!

I am going to buy my Varsity Theater tickets after work today for this show - I'm not going to miss it!
