Thanks to Rob and the great Dancing Cake Slices we have won another award this year in the TC Pride Parade: Rainbow Award (ONLY 4 AWARDS ARE GIVEN). It is given to the entry that uses the rainbow colors in the best way.

Join us at the cafe Friday July 6th from 6pm-close for an exciting evening featuring Kevin Aviance!

New York City’s celebrated singer, performer and DJ Kevin Aviance imbues the night with glamour and style. Come for culture, stay for dinner and sip champagne. kevinavianceworld.com

Kevin is BIG and should not be missed.

Attendance - privileged. Dress - lounge chic. Attitude - optional.

Do you get our semi-monthly eNewsletter?  If you don’t go to the homepage and sign up!  We are sending a 2 for 1 coupon out for PRIDE in the newsletter this week.

Our ice coffee will be available at the OutFront booth at the grounds, and we WILL be in the parade again this year.

Dean and I moved to Lake Elmo a year ago into a 1915 pink Arts and Crafts home (picture in last May’s DIARY). Well, we took out the parking pad in the front yard and with the help of Tangletown Gardens (yes, they do landscaping) and some paint we have zuggished up the block.

Each summer our urns are the best in NE Minneapolis thanks to Tangletown Gardens.  Stop by and see the burst of summer color.  Then head down to Tangletown Gardens for your own color.

Mark your calendars! The 2007 Tangletown Gardens Garden and Art Tour will be held on Saturday July 28th rain or shine. This year’s tour will feature some of the finest and most creative garden spaces and artists in Minneapolis. Proceeds from the tour will help fund a permanent public art installation for the city of Minneapolis. Tickets for the event are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the tour. They can be purchased at Tangletown Gardens April through July. Please visit the garden center for further information.

Boys, are you ready to take a walk on the Wilde side with Executive Chef Scott Rosenbaum? He’s gearing up for a Polynesian appetizer party that promises to be outrageous in more than one sense of the word!

Everyone – everyone of age that is – will also enjoy an Mia-tini with this class – coconut juice with fruit juice and a dash of white rum. Our wine option is also available. Menu: Crispy Fried Quail on Teriyaki Noodle Nests; Mad Mango Barbequed Beef Skewers with Hot Chile Vinegar; Sassy Salad Spring Rolls filled with Crispy Greens, Red Pepper, Avocado and Spicy Sriracha/Cilantro Sauce; Polynesian Pot Stickers filled with Chicken, Sweet and Hot Chiles and Pineapple served with Dumpling Sauce; and, last but note least, Crisp Baked Berry Won-tons dusted with Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Ice Cream
