"Married Alive!," the latest offering at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ Fireside Stage, is a close cousin to the hit "I Do! I Do!," the longest running show on the Chanhassen stage. It also contains some of the same humor captured in another Chanhassen forerunner, "Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical."
While some of the themes are familiar, there is plenty of humor to be had in this musical comedy.

A Droid of a Different Color
Submitted by Adam Pulchinski on April 30, 2008 - 5:23pm.Being a nerd (I promise I'll stop opening with that one of these days) I patrol various websites that are related to my "field of study". There are more than one of these sites dedicated to various aspects of George Lucas' Star Wars Saga.
Not long ago on one site that has to do primarily with collecting memorabilia (www.rebelscum.com)- I came upon an article about a special action figure that was floating about out there. It was basically a pink version of R2-D2 that has quite a back story and carries the moniker of R2-KT.

Episode 23 - There will be blood
Submitted by brian on May 1, 2008 - 3:40pm.If you like blood, then I have something especially for you. Dexter (Sundays at 9 PM on CBS) may be the best thing to air on network television this year. It did so only because of the now-settled writer's strike and had already aired on cable movie channel Showtime and I see that as a blessing.

Sound Off: Minnesota music
Submitted by BakerBlog on April 24, 2008 - 12:52pm.Minnesota is arguably as melodious as any state in the union. Over the years, it has produced almost as many great musicians and bands as it has lakes – and the variety is as diverse as the weather.

Hollywood Ending
'Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay '
Submitted by Daniel E. Jennis on May 3, 2008 - 8:35pm.three and a half stars
Reviewed by Daniel E. Jennis
Great philosophers say that to laugh at something is to completely eviscerate its meaning, to destroy its ability to be taken seriously. “Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay”, the highly anticipated sequel to 2004’s “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle”, completely embodies this principle. This film is an acerbic and mean-spirited comedy about governmental injustice and bigotry. The humor is barbed, bitter, and delivers on its intentions. This new “Harold and Kumar” chronicle is far from your average stoner romp.
