SEARCHING Advanced Screening in Roseville

June 21, 2018 by 2 Comments

I’m not a fan of horror movies, but I do enjoy a good thriller! That’s what we get with SEARCHING, coming to theaters August 3rd, starring John Cho and Debra Messing.

SEARCHING is a suspense/thriller film that has won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize as well as the NEXT Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. In the film, after David Kim (John Cho)’s 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter’s laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter’s digital footprints before she disappears forever.

While the movie doesn’t open in theaters until August 3, YOU could see it before then! Download a pair of passes here to see it on June 27 at 7 pm in Roseville at AMC Rosedale. Passes are available to download while supplies last. Be sure to arrive early as seating is on a first come, first served basis.

Rod Stewart at Xcel Energy Center – Discount Tickets

June 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Rod Stewart with special guest Cyndi Lauper is coming to Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul August 15th and right now you can order discount tickets starting at $59!

With two of the most distinctive voices in music, Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper have each racked up tons of culture-changing hit songs, not to mention sustaining long-lasting and varied careers that’ve taken them through almost every genre there is — from pop to rock to jazz to country to Broadway to the Great American Songbook. So make sure you’re at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul when these consummate entertainers hit the stage.

With his signature growl, narrative songwriting and passionate live performances, Stewart has amassed sales of more than 200 million albums worldwide, along with countless chart-topping hits and industry accolades — including two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lauper, meanwhile, is three-quarters of her way to an EGOT — with two Grammys, an Emmy and a Tony under her belt. First breaking through in the ’80s with pop classics like “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Time After Time,” Lauper blew Broadway away with the hit musical Kinky Boots in 2013.

Now’s your chance to check out The Bakken Museum! We found a great deal on discount tickets for their upcoming event: Art in the Garden on Thursday, June 21st from 5:30 – 9 pm.

The best party of the summer is coming up soon at The Bakken Museum. Head to Art in the Garden, an evening soiree that lets you discover the natural beauty of the museum’s distinct garden spaces.

Grab a drink and have your own picnic on the green roof as you create artsy items inspired by the flora on the Minneapolis museum’s grounds. There’ll be a Crop Art Station for those of you looking to practice your seed skills before the State Fair, a plant stamp postcard you can send to someone special and a community art studio where you can let the watercolors flow and make something unique.

MollieRae Miller will use her skills with acrylic paint and stenciling to help you create some native plant-inspired window art. Market Science will also be on-hand to share leaf pigment and chromatography science.

The Chalk Art Cars will be there for all of your automobile-arts needs and the Science Museum of Minnesota will have watercolor bots for that extra mechanical artsy feel.

With beer and wine to sip on and food from Gastrotruck and Olivia’s Organic Café, there will be plenty of fun for you and your crew to enjoy.
