Hootenanny: A Community

Every Friday night in the basement of Java Jack's a bunch of musicians get together for a "hootenanny." It's been going on for three years now, and photographer Tony Nelson decided to capture the event on film. His profiles of the Mad Ripple Hootenanny musicians (including Billy Bragg, above) are on display at The Gallery @ Fox Tax in Minneapolis (yes, they do your taxes AND hang art on the wall). It's up through July 24th.
If you want to hear what the Java Jack's hootenanny sounds like, take a listen to a piece MPR's Chris Roberts did.
Neil Gaiman: Author turned interviewer

Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline, Anansi Boys, The Sandman and so many other wonderfully creepy tales, is sitting in one of the MPR News studios at this moment. Except he's not here to be interviewed. Instead he's interviewing British character actor Martin Jarvis about the art of voicing audiobooks. Word has it he's doing a series of interviews for National Public Radio, which should air on Morning Edition in the next few weeks.
Gaiman actually lives not far outside the Twin Cities. MPR's Euan Kerr interviewed him earlier this year when Gaiman won the Newbery honor with his work "The Graveyard Book."
