This from the Duluth News Tribune, among their listings for Entertainment Best Bets:
There’s nothing like seeing your sweetie in a blinking Rudolph sweater to test your love. Get decked out and go to the third annual Bad Sweater X-Mas Party at 10 p.m. Saturday at Pizza Luce, 11 E. Superior St.
Music is by rock band Baby Granta Claus. There also will be standup comedy, but don’t let that stop you from going. Cost is $2. Call 727-7400.
Emphasis, of course, ours. We’ll refrain from the obvious Duluth jokes and just state once again that one of the reasons we started this magazine was to battle the media bias against standup comics. Looks like the folks in Minnesota still need some educating. (We console ourselves by concluding that anyone who would find a Bad Sweater X-Mas Party to be the pinnacle of wit would not find anything to like about standup comedy. It’s probably a kid fresh out of the two-year Journalism Associate Degree Program at St. Cloud University. And if it isn’t– let the fucker defend him/herself… the little prick.)
