AFTER5 UPPER RED RIVER VALLEYENTERTAINMENT NEWSPAPER

FOOD AT TARGET FIELDI spent last weekend in the Twin Cities and had some great stuff to

eat, so expect this post and a few others to follow detailing what I

found. I wont go overboard, though, and well be back to local

cuisine soon.

Not being a huge baseball fan, the prospect of sitting for 3 hours

or more on stiff plastic seats doesnt sound that fun. But at Target

Field in Minneapolis, there are so many things to eat, you would

never need to actually watch a pitch. You could just eat your way

around the concourse and stumble out of the gates at the end,

clutching your stomach in over-stuffed agony.

But after grabbing the ubiquitous hot dog and finding my seat, I

actually really enjoyed watching the Twins try their best against

the Texas Rangers. And the stadium is beautiful. But lets get to

the food already.

Target Field Hot Dog

That aforementioned hot dog, a ball park staple across the country,

was my first stop. And there are quite a few places to get a dog.

Schweigert meats has a few different varieties like the Original

Twins Dog, the Tenderbite which is a version made from the origi-

nal recipe served at games in the 60s, the Twins Big Dog (a mon-

strous quarter-pound dog), the Twins Dugout Dog which has

coarse ground pork and beef, and the extra long Dinger Dog.

I got the original and loaded it up with relish, ketchup and deli

mustard. The condiments came out of their dispensers quicker

than I though they would, resulting in the messy photo. As for the

actual dog, it was tasty but nothing really Earth-shattering. I didnt

really care for the bun, which was too big for the hot dog andseemed to be dusted with flour on the outside.

If youre looking for other meats in tube form, check out Kramar-

czuks which offers Polish and Hungarian sausages made fresh

daily. You can also get dogs and sausages at Hennepin Grille,

Halseys Sausage Haus and Taste of Twins Territory.

Also give the Bloody Mary at Hrbeks a try. Theyre a meal in a

cocktail with garnishes like a pickle, pepper, olive, beef stick and

two types of cheese.

Hrbek's Bloody Mary

Oh, and theyre $12 a pop. Bring plenty of dough to Target Field

or any other stadium, for that matter.

Hrbeks and The Town Ball Tavern are the two full-service restau-

rants in the stadium if youre not looking to nosh on the many

concessions.

At about the sixth inning, our stomachs were rumbling again, so

we set out to find the Tony Os Cuban sandwich cart. Named for

former Twins player Tony Oliva, the Cuban sandwiches are quite

large and feature ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese and pickles on a

roll thats flattened and crisped up on a panini press.

Tony O's Cuban Sandwich

I heard about the sandwich from a friend who gave it a glowing

review and said it was a must-try. But I have to be honest: I was

slightly disappointed. Yes, the bread is toasted perfectly and the

cheese is warm and gooey, but the ham and pork dont bring muchto the ensemble. The pork tasted only a tiny tiny bit like smoke,

but not like pork. The ham wasnt much better than the store

bought variety. And it needed a spicy, tangy kick that only yellow

mustard could provide. It comes on a classic Cuban but was

nowhere to be found on this version. There are a few places to

pump some mustard on the sandwich around the concourse.

I could only put away so much, but when Im back Ill be trying

some of these delicious offerings:

The Vincent Burger - Find it at the Hennepin Grille stands. Its

an Angus beef burger stuffed with braised short rib and smoked

gouda cheese. Oh. my.

Bacon Sloppy Joe - A sesame bun is topped with ground beef,

bacon, shredded pepper jack cheese and fried onions.

Seor Smokes - Empanadas, nachos, burritos and tacos.

There is definitely something for everyone to munch on at Target

Field.

SPEEDWAY RESTAURANTA few friends and I hit up Speedway one Friday night at about 7

and it was packed. We grabbed a table near the bar and perused

the menu, which is pretty extensive. I was surprised by the amountof fried offerings, but thats not a bad thing.

It was my first time at Speedway actually. But it most certainly

wont be the last.

The outside of the building is nondescript, with brick siding and

tiny windows. On the inside, its typical sports bar-type decor in a

raceway theme.

We had an order of the Cheesy

Cheesers, or balls of macaroni and

cheese breaded and deep-fried. All of

us agreed they were pretty tasty, with

the breading adding a nice texture

difference to the gooey mac and

cheese. On that point, though, there

could have been a bit more cheese

flavor. It was hard for the cheese to

make it past the fried flavor. They were served with some sort ofsauce, possibly Thousand Island dressing, which seemed like a

weird pairing.

The ribs fell off the bone as soon as

you grabbed onto one of them. While

some barbecue purists would say you

want the meat to nearly fall off the

bone, I thought it was better this way

because you could eat it with a fork

and not have a huge mess. I can eas-

ily say they are the best ribs Ive had

in Grand Forks so far.

The meat was incredibly tender and the sauce perfect, not over-

powering, with a bit of sweetness. I was told by a dinner mate that

there is another version of the sauce that has a bit of kick. Id like

to try it next time. The only bad thing I could say about the ribs

was that they were pretty fatty, but when theyre so tender and

tasty, that can be overlooked.

The vegetables were run-of-the-mill. Overcooked for my taste, but

I was expecting them to be worse. The french baked potato was

described by the waiter as basically a giant French fry, and from

what I can deduce, was a skinned potato that was put in the deep

fryer until the potato was cooked through. It made for a crunchy

outer skin while the inside was perfectly cooked and piping hot.

Service was OK. After the food was delivered to the table, the

server didnt come back for quite a while, probably 30 minutes.

But it was pretty busy.

Ill definitely be back for Thursdays all-you-can-eat ribs for, I

think, $10.99 or so. That is one of the best deals Ive seen in the

area. Ive also gotta try the prime rib.

SALLY AND THE HARPBY MIKE PETERSON, PUBLISHER

A new sound has been heard around Grand Forks of late - the ethereal strains of the Celtic harp!Sally Morris has been playing dinner music and for events around town and we thought it would be

fun to learn more about Sally and her harp. We spoke with her this week:

A5: Where are you from originally?

SM: Im originally from North Dakota, although I spent all my summers in Tennessee.

A5: What made you get into the harp and what's your music background?

SM: Like a lot of people, I studied piano first, when I was in grade school. At first I didnt like to

practice, but later I began to look forward to and enjoy it. Then a couple of really good teachers in-

spired me and I considered working toward a career in that. Fate had other ideas, though, and I com-

pletely left music. Then I married a musician and although I had stopped playing, I fell in love with it

all over again. My husband always tried to get me back to it and one thing he did was buy me a

lovely guitar. I really enjoyed the guitar and had a fantastic teacher Lynn Quamme. Very skilled,

and extremely talented.

I first heard the Celtic harp played at festivals. I found the sound captivating and wished I could to

that. Again, my husband encouraged me and bought me a small harp and I learned to play on my

own. Then I found a wonderful teacher in Fargo, Jane Williams. I studied with her, but could only go

so far without a larger harp. My husband passed away and I didnt play for some time. Then one dayI started looking at harps on the internet. Eventually I found one I really liked. My sister Amy in-

sisted on buying it. I said no, Ill wait, but she sent my daughter the money and that is how I came to

have the harp I play now. Ill never know how to repay her! But I named my harp Amy.

A5: How long have you been playing?

SM: In the neighborhood of 12 years, but off and on.

A5: Playing the Harp is indeed a unique act for Grand Forks. What do you enjoy most about

it?

SM: Theres a lot to enjoy about it! For myself, I like the sound of my instrument. It has a really

pleasing sound, kind of deep and mellow. Then playing the harp has exposed me to music I

might not have even heard or learned about otherwise. But one of the nicest things about it is that

many others who have not been around harps have found that they love the sound too. It has a

very relaxing effect.

A5: Tell us about the instrument, specifically, where you got it, etc.

SM: My harp is a Lyon and Healy Folk Harp. It was made in Chicago, probably in the early Eight-

ies. It is designed to resemble the ancient Irish harps and has some interesting Book of Kells designs

on the soundboard. Its a mature harp. When a harp matures the soundboard raises up a bit, making

the soundbox sort of convex. This really adds to the quality of the sound. My harp has a mellow,

warm sound.

The harps you see in an orchestra are pedal harps the pedals allow the player to change the pitch of

the string. Mine is a lever harp. I sharp the strings by flipping the levers. This type of harp is an an-

cient instrument. Its interesting that contemporary music sounds so nice on it!

A5: Where do you usually play the harp at?

SM: Currently I am playing every Friday and Saturday at Mamma Marias Italian Restaurant in East

Grand Forks from 5:30 to 7:30 and through July at l Bistro at the CanadInn in Grand Forks for lunch

on Sunday, from 12:00 to 2:00. Ill be at the Ember coffeehouse on June 28 at 8:30. Ive played for

the Art and Wine Walk and for receptions at the Campbell Library I really had fun dressing up and

playing for the little girls tea party! Once a friend had me play for a Harry Potter book release

party. Fun! And Ive played for Robert Burns Night and St. Patricks Day and a Grand Opening at

Ferguson Books & Media.

A5: Does your family have a musical background?

SM: My family is into almost every form of art. My sister Lucia played violin with the Grand Forks

Symphony and flute with the city band she was amazing. Another sister, Melissa, began as a pho-

tographer and ended up a television producer in Florida, winning two international awards. When she

could no longer work she began painting and left us some very beautiful works. Our brother Brad is

a writer hes working on his second novel; he was very musical and picked up several instruments

on his own and learned them. Our other brother, Tim, is both a writer and an artist. And a cartoonist!

My sister Amy is a novelist and a wonderful portrait artist. She works in pastels and her work is in-

credible. Shes just finished writing a book and Tim has illustrated it. My mother has always done

beautiful needlework and is a china painter. Shes also a writer. My dad was always working, but

when he could find time he would either be reading history or inventing something. His aunt Mabel

played piano for silent movies. My aunt Susan was a dancer and I used to practically live at her

dance studio. My daughters, Marjorie and Jenny both sing. Marjorie sings and writes country and

pop music, and loves interior design. Shes studying bass guitar and acting, and is also a talented

writer in many fields and has completed a novel. Jenny sings jazz standards (and plays her ukulele)

and is an award-winning portrait artist, dancer, choreographer and actress. She is also a paper doll

artist (she just had one of her dolls published in Paper Doll Studio), and also writes. My grandfather

was a cornet player. My great-grandmother was a harpist and her brother a violinist. My cousin Rob

Haynes is a fantastic keyboard guy. Hes toured in Europe with James Burton; the late Bebe Cun-

ningham often played in his band. Hes had the top band in Memphis. Now hes into recording. So

my family is very involved in the world of art and music. And of course I married into a musical

family. My husband was a timpanist, pianist and poet. My stepson, Stanley, is a fine guitarist and his

sister plays the flute.

A5: Do you have any extremely interesting or hilarious experiences throughout your time with

the harp?

SM: Well, I have had some FUN experiences! It was just delightful to see the little girls at the tea

party in their hats and gloves. And I was asked by my friend Lee Barnum to play for the kids at Holy

Family school and tell them about my instrument. That was really a joy. I wore a Renaissance dress.

One little boy was fascinated by the idea that one COULD have played a harp on the Titanic! An-

other, more practical perhaps, asked how I got that harp in the car. That was a wonderful experience.

A5: What should people come to expect from you and the harp?

SM: People often think of the harp as a huge, intimidating instrument for marble halls and the con-

cert stage, but when I play they can expect to hear Renaissance tunes, Celtic music, light classics, oc-

casionally pop songs, Broadway tunes, love songs from movies, just about anything. I never know

exactly what Ill play at the restaurant. Sometimes the mood of the room or the mood of the harp dic-

tates what I play. The sound is warm and soft. Its great background for conversation and dining.

Thats what I like to do background music, ambiance. So expect to hear something relaxing and re-

flective.

A5: Anything else you'd like to add?

SM: Lets see. I have a weakness for pipe bands. And the music of Fritz Kreisler and Irving Berlin.

But thats maybe not relevant. Also, dont ever think youre too old to learn new things.

Another area of interest for me is music therapy. There is some wonderful research being done in thatarea. Music is an important part of our being. So there is a lot to learn there.

I also want to thank all the wonderful people who make my playing possible and support live music

in general. And my family and friends for being supportive. And someday Id like to travel again and

hear other players and learn more from them. And I think it would be fun to play on a riverboat!

If people want to book you in the future, how can they contact you? and what is your website?

My website is http://themagicalharp.webs.com. I can be reached by phone at 218-773-2154.

ND MUSEUM OF ART CONCERTS IN

THE GARDEN TO FEATURE ELLIOT

BROODBY SUZANNE IRWIN, CONTRIBUTING WRITERThe North Dakota Museum of Art features eclectic bands across the country during their

summer concert series. This July, Canadian band, Elliott Brood is scheduled to liven up the

outdoor stage with unique, toe tapping tunes.

Surprisingly heavyIts a little bit country, a little bit dark, mixed with a little rock. Band members, Casey

Laforet (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass pedals, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, lap

steel,vocals) Mark Sasso (banjo, guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Stephen Pitkin (percussion,

drums, piano, vocals) make up the foot tapping crew of Elliott Brood. Mark Sasso explains

the sound behind the genre of Black Country Rock. Its heavier than what you would

think comes from a banjo, acoustic guitar and drums, he says. You know being a three

piece, youre limited in what you can do. Casey plays bass pedals with his feet while he

plays guitar while he sings. Steve plays drums and piano at the same time. Then I play

harmonica and multiple instruments and I sing. We have some limitations since were a

three piece but we kind of play with that and use it to our advantage. Everyone is multi-

faceted and thats a good thing, he adds. I think that a lot of people are kind of amazed

at the sound that can come out of a three people when they see it its a lot more than they

expect.

The beginningThe band got its start in Toronto through combining talents. I had been playing solo forquite a while under the name of Elliott Brood, explains Sasso. After jamming with fellow

musician, Casey Laforet, Sasso wanted to take their songs to the stage. We started play-

ing and a I said, ok Im going to book us a gig, and Casey said, no he kind of had

stage fright until the very first show. Later they added Steven Pitkin after meeting him at

one of their performances.

Debuting for a decadeThe three-piece has engaged audiences for more than 10 years and has toured across sev-

eral countries including Canada, the United States and Europe. They bring experience to

the stage and say they want their shows to be more than just a concert. We see it as a re-

vival meeting we get really into it. Its kind of like inviting someone over for a party.

We kind of talk a lot while we are on stage. We are artists, but we also see ourselves as en-

tertainers. Hopefully they leave having a great time.

Everyday inspirationSasso says ideas for writing music happen in a variety of ways. Everything factors into

what you writewhat inspires me changes, it could be your children, your family and the

inspiration and what it actually becomes can be a totally different thing. It can start as one

thing and grow into something totally different than you ever envisioned which is pretty

beautiful, which is what I love doing, he adds. That inspiration through life experience

has helped this group have a steady supply of tunes. I never really had writers block, you

cant force it but I guess Casey and I have been fortunate enough to keep writing. We have

tons of songs that are waiting to be recorded, explains Sasso. And this group plans to con-

tinue to perform as well as write new music. We want to continue to tour and grow and

play for more peopleyou want your music to be experienced by people, thats the ulti-

mate goal really. Other than that Id still be playing music in my bedroom, adds Sasso

with a laugh.

On the road again and againMany musicians need to tour to continue to see success. Elliott Brood is well seasoned

when it comes to hitting the pavement. I always say that being a traveling musician is the

worst and best job Ive ever had the traveling is the ultimate worst just because youre

away from home. It just can weigh on youand were not young kids. But the road has

rewards. Its so fulfilling to go and bring your own music and do what you love and have

people enjoy it. There arent many jobs in the world that people pat you on the back on a

nightly basis andmaybe effect them and change their life somehow, Sasso says.

The banjo playing, guitar strumming, harmonica touting trio, comes to the North Dakota

Museum of Art on Tuesday, July 23 at 6 p.m. Josh Driscoll will be opening for the group.

Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door, free admission for children twelve and younger.

BOARD GAMESBY TAYLOR BROST, CONTRIBUTING WRITERAt the end of every month now for the past few months, the

owner and publisher (Mike Peterson) of this little outfit called

After5 asks me if Id like to contribute an article. And after a few

rants and raves about random happenings, Mike asked me to

narrow my focus to things relating to media. I had to think long

and hard before coming up with a good story for the month of

July, but when I finally did, I was overjoyed.

If you want to know what good movies are out, youll spend fiveseconds going online and finding critic reviews of current box of-

fice hits, instead of reading about some nobodys (that would be

me) opinion. If its good TV you are looking for, word of mouth

can bring you that information, or even a simple channel click

until you see something which triggers your fancy. So now youre

asking yourself, what can I offer you? I bring you, the return of

board games!

I know it doesnt sound exciting, but get excited. Some of us

remember the days; family game night. What felt like forced fam-

ily bonding at the time turned out to be the best nights of our

lives.right? Right?! Maybe not the best nights of our lives, but I

know deep down somewhere, in all of us, there is a little kid who

does somersaults at the mere thought of another game night. I

truly believe that board games are slowly, but surely, making their

return to the main stage of our lives. And I, for one, could not be

more enthused. So let me commence, in revealing a few games

you absolutely need to play this summer.

The Game of ThingsRecommended Players: 4+

(the more the merrier)

Recommended Setting: Fri-

day or Saturday Night

Recommended Libation: A

glass of fine wine (or a bottle

of cheap stuff)

This game puts an interesting

spin on a classic idea. Like

Apples to Apples, a topic is

revealed at the beginning of

each round and an answer is submitted by each player. But unlike

the previously mentioned game, The Game of Things lets each

player write their own answer. And while there is still a judge,

per se, in The Game of Things, his role is a little different. The

goal in this game is actually to guess who wrote each answer. I

have a hard time holding back from trying to write answers whichI find hilarious, but a strategic player could try to mimic re-

sponses of other players in the game, creating confusion amongst

participants.

The goal of this game is not so much to gain points and declare

victory, but more bring friends together over laughs and drinks.

Call up those non-competitive friends you havent seen in a few

weeks and invite them to leave their baggage at home, and bring

only their wit, for a few rounds of fun in The Game of Things.

CraniumRecommended Players: 4-8

(couples to spice things up)

Recommended Setting:

Weekend at the Cabin

Recommended Libation: A

Dark Beer

Weve alllll heard of this one.

But Cranium is a classic.

Maybe weve forgotten just

how good this game is. Com-

bining multiple facets such as

acting, sculpting, drawing,

spelling, and knowledge of random things, this game has it all.

With four different categories and a handful of subcategories, no-

body gets bored during play. I recommend holding off that bottle

of wine and being at the top of your game for this adventure, or

spelling a 15 letter word backwards might not go so well.

The fun thing about Cranium is that everybody has their strengths

and weaknesses. Its near impossible for someone to be bad at

every single category in the game. Take some time feeling com-

petitors out and choosing even teams, or what Ive found to be

the most entertaining is just having teams of couples. While Im

not saying its real therapeutic for relationship building, it will

provide laughs and (hopefully) friendly competition amongst just

about any group. And for that, it makes my list.

The Settlers of CatanRecommended Players: 3-4 (Up

to 6 with expansion packs)Recommended Setting: Sunday

afternoon with Pandora Station

Lute playing.

Recommended Libation: Water

(dont mess around with this one)

The board game of our time,

and no I didnt make that up

thank you very much. Credit goes to The Washington Post. This

game is for my strategists. My thinkers. My competitive friends

who want to start with little and rise to the top declaring yourself

the victor of Cataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

You may have heard of this game before and you may have heard

it is for the nerds. If that is the case, then Im proud to be a nerd,

sporting my Catan bumper sticker on my 98 Toyota Camry. The

point of the game is to be the first settler with 10 victory points,

accumulating these by building settlements, armies, roads, or

even acquiring them through the purchase of development cards.

This game has been compared to Monopoly. And I guess in arudimentary kind of way it is like Monopoly, including such

things as trading and buying. But unlike Monopoly, this game

very infrequently ends with one person who everybody else hates,

dominating the entire game board. The Settlers of Catan can be

fast paced and cutthroat, or slow-going and (somewhat) friendly.

Momentum can shift in one turn, and often times multiple settlers

are close to declaring victory in the end. This is one for serious

board gamers. It requires alertness and strategy, but dont worry,

having fun is a given.

Take a weekend away from all of the media. Relax with a good

group of people, and pull out some of the old, or new, board

games. Of course, youre going to miss out on that juicy celebrity

gossip, or you might miss the premier of the biggest blockbuster

hit of the summer. But I guarantee youll have a great time. If you

dont, something is wrong with you, honestly. Go get that

checked

MUD RUN By Lacey EricksonIt seems as though there are 5k runs every weekend! Its a great

summer activity to do, and now the runs are starting to add in ele-

ments to make them even more exciting, and challenging.

Run or Dye has gained popularity in the area and will be going on

June 29th in West Fargo! Runners go through dye zones and get

doused with dye and color! Its super fun and messy!

We also have a very exciting event happening right here in Grand

Forks! Uff-Da MudRun is an 'extremely' fun and challenging 5K

course that will encompass 20 obstacles along the Greenway. Its a

lot like tough mudder, but Extreme ND Racing is saying, Mudman

Schmudman. Tough Mudder? Oh Brother. Warrior Dash? Too

much flash. Go UFF-DA! Catchy and fun! I know there are a lot

of people working hard to make this an amazing event! Its great to

see there are people here in the Greater Grand Forks area doing

things to make our community inviting and innovative!

If you would like more information on the Uff-Da MudRun, Run or

Dye!, or other exciting runs go to www.endracing.com/uff-da

www.RunOrDye.com OR redriverrunnersgf.blogspot.com/

CONECT THE PARKS By Jill BairdSummer is finally here!

With summer comes the chance for everyone in the community to

get out and enjoy all the wonderful parks Grand Forks has to offer.

The Young Professionals have a way for everyone to enjoy one of the

smaller parks in the downtown area.

Connect the Parks is an event the GGFYP hosts during the summer

on the last Thursday of June, July, and August from 6 to 9 pm in

Pillsbury Park (next to the Urban Stampede).

Each Connect the Parks event will feature live music by local talent.

There is plenty of space to lay out a blanket or set up a few chairs to

sit and listen. There will be food and non-alcoholic beverages avail-

able on site and for carry-out from neighboring restaurants. There

will also be a beer garden set up along the edge of the park.

Families young and young at heart are invited to come enjoy this fun

evening. There is no cost to come and enjoy the evening, just an invi-

tation to enjoy a park you may have only passed, great music, and

fabulous company.

Bike, walk, or drive downtown to Pillsbury Park this Thursday from

6 to 9 pm to enjoy this unique experience Grand Forks has to offer.

See you there!
