Annie's Swedish Coffee Parties

Annie was the longest resident at Scandia's Gammelgarden - "small farm." We celebrate her tradition of a coffee party on the first three Saturdays in December. A 3-course Swedish coffee party is a perfect way to celebrate birthdays, Red Hat outings, a family get-together, or a special treat for yourself and a friend!

The three courses of food (along with your coffee) will include: Cardamom bread/butter, fruit-filled coffee cakes, sliced cheese and apples, rice pudding, and assorted Swedish Jul cookies. There will be Swedish Jul traditions and stories shared between courses.

Transmission 24

TRANSMISSION (at the club) is a long-running night for people who dig a good, varied mix of music, showcasing the best in new wave, indie rock, British pop, funk, garage, punk, post-punk, synth-pop, electro and everything in-between each Wednesday night at the Uptown VFW from 8pm - midnight. TRANSMISSION (on the radio) is a weekly program on Minnesota Public Radio's 89.3 The Current, bringing you a different theme each Thursday at 10pm CST.

Ani Di Franco

These days, every artist’s album needs to have a story. The music can’t speak for itself. But after 22 records, why can’t Ani DiFranco’s work speak for itself? Yes, her forthcoming album is shaped by stories — ones about reproductive freedom, the double-edged sword of the pandemic, identity and ever-evolving belief systems that have shaped each of its 11 songs. There are songs that were written in 2011 and in 2022; some for musicals, others for children’s books. The album isn’t linear, but it is inherently teeming with DiFranco’s spirit.
