Check out Balls Cabaret every Saturday at midnight at the Southern Theater. Whether you're a performer or observer - you never quite know what you'll get from this Twin Cities institution that provides an open stage to aspiring and established performing artists. But quite often, it's delightful.

This week at work: Minneapolis night life -- at noon.

This week at work... more night life:

Camp, a new bar in St. Paul features the lovely Miss Ti-Nea's Pop & Soul review on Friday nights. She'll blow your mind.

Special thanks to Jeff and Lia for helping me out with a shoot at Fuji Ya:

This week at work is exceptionally busy. Assuming all goes well, stop back for more pics more often. Tonight I headed out to Apple Valley to check out salsa dancing at Enjoy!. (Hmmm, a grammatical quandary - if the name of the establishment ends in a punctuation mark other than that of the author's intended usage, is it grammatically acceptable to double up?!) The dancing was quite fantastic - after a 9:00 lesson, which Enjoy! hosts every Wednesday, the dance floor attracts a rather eclectic group of people. It was great.
