New Years Eve at the Varsity

Very few Varsity Theater tickets are left for the Mark Mallman / Red Pens New Years Eve show. All the cool cats are going to be there and the cover is NOT ridiculous. Most clubs/bars in town are charging $40+ (and to be fair a lot of them charging a hefty cover include all the alcohal you can drink) but the Varsity is keeping theirs under $20. However, you will have to foot the bill for your beers and cheers.

I am actually considering going to this show. All of my partners in crime are either out of town or moved away (not mention broken up the bf) so I am at a loss as to what to do! I just need a date and then I am there!

The Red Pens are awesome, if you haven't checked them out be sure to do so. The only negative thing about choosing this venue is that I would have to cab to and from. Cabs on New Year's Eve = disaster!

See you at the show ... maybe!


Laura Bennett is a lovely artist isn't she?

Policy and A Pint Series at the Varsity

The Varsity Theater is going to be hosting the next installment of MPR's 'Policy and A Pint' discussion series. Policy and A Pint focuses on one issue during their monthly get togethers. Discussions, ideas, and opinions are mulled over during this group time. It sounds a lot like college, no?

The topic of this month's Policy and A Pint asks the question "where is the line between opinion, news and comedy?" 89.3 the Current host Steve Seal will host the event with discussion guests Bob Collins and Chris Worthington.

Varsity Theater tickets are on sale now, UofMN students get a Varsity Theater discount. While the 'pint' is not included in the price of admission there are appetizers from the Loring Pasta Bar included! That in itself is a reason for admission - I love the Loring Pasta Bar!

Policy and A Pint tickets usually sell out, the topics are usually pretty interesting and everyone loves MPR. So I would recommend tracking down your Varsity Theater tickets sooner than later.
