A West Bank Revival: Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 1

What: West Bank Music Revival
When: Friday, September 18 & Saturday, September 19, 2009
Where: Acadia Café (0+), Nomad World Pub (21+), The Bedlam Theatre (18+), Red Sea (21+), The West Bank Social Center, Hardtimes Café, The Weinery

Why: Because such a rich musical history should be celebrated by the community that created it!

Over the years folks of many walks of life have picked up an instrument, wandered to the West Bank of Minneapolis, plopped down and called it home. History is made there as strangers and friends alike share food, songs, and ideas over late-night jam sessions or beers at a bar. These gatherings have made the Twin Cities synonymous with community and have led to amazing, ingenuitive music that has cemented us as a capital of the creative arts!

To celebrate this tradition and the folks who've kept it alive for 60 years, the Front Porch Sitters, volunteers dedicated to supporting local, independent artists and locally focused, independent businesses, are throwing a revival -

Constitution Day September 17

"Constitution as Narrative: story-telling, civic engagement, and the art of politics"

Given by: Dr. Joseph Underhill, Associate Professor and Chair of Political Science

This talk will examine the constitution, and and other founding documents (charters, manifestos, declarations, vision statements) in the context of the question of political agency—how we conceive of and actualize notions of the human ability to meaningfully take action in relation to the political problems of the day. Conceiving of constitutions broadly, it will explore the idea of personal constitutions or narratives as avenues to political artfulness, not just at the level of formal government documents, but as personal manifesto. As part of Sustainability Awareness Month, this talk will focus on how we are responding to the issue of climate change and explore how personal narratives can play a role in that process.
