How come you never tell us about these things BEFORE they happen?

The only things worth consuming at the Swedish Center are the pancakes, pickled herring and liberal amounts of Glogg.

How can a place be "retro" when it's ALWAYS had that decor?

I have a weekly LeTip meeting at Swedish Cultural Center, and after months of being there, I finally noticed that all the animals on the crests still had huge wangs and balls.

The Swedish Center kicks ass. I saw David Byrne at one of their Sunday pancake breakfasts a few years ago! And Willem Pugmire is sometimes busing tables there.

I could have been worse. You could have been subjected to rotten herring.

Food is really expensive and I'd rather my contributions go toward getting out the vote than for fancy food. (Not everyone can get their catering donated and most places don't let you bring in your own food.)

Tom is a progressive candidate and good on many issues. Music pro's don't just care about music. But I have to say, Rasmussen is strongly opposed to the Mayor's Nightlife ordinance. Every council member opposed to this ordinance will get big support from the music and nightlife industry this year, and those who support it will see big support for their opposition. The industry has raised and spent a lot of money in the past and turned out lots of voters to support candidates, expect to see more of that this election cycle.

This is the same Rasmussen who's answer to the whole Pride problem was: sure, two parades sounds like a swell plan? That Tom Rasmussen?

Pardon my lack of enthusiasm.

Rasmussen is a Danish name, not a Swedish name. Are Danes allowed in the Swedish Cultural Center?

Should have just been booze and Cheeze-its!

They're pretty ecumenical over there at the Swedish center. I'm sure some of the old fellows still think Denmark's part of Sweden, anyways.

Sweden was a part of Denmark, not the other way around although Swedes usually have a hard time admitting that. I worked down the street from the Swedish Center and would pop in on Fridays for an amazing happy hour ... drinks were like a $1, and they had great smorgasbord. Wonder if they still do that?

#10 - above
Pardon your utter stupidity.....really...

What now, the GESTAPO council police action , telling people and groups - executive fiat - who, what, and where they can do events?

Conflict resolution theme - sometimes just let it ride out. Tom is expected, according to you, to waste his political clout by deciding which diva on which stage on which day.......geez, are you on the SOaP board of ineptitudes?

Silly and stupid comments.
