This weekend at Dick’s Bar and Grill, there are events for every Tom, Dick and Harry, (those being three people and there are a total of three special offerings).
– Mixing paint and potions might just be the thing. The Art and Elixir event is painting for beginners, which is set to a musical backdrop and accompanied by food and drink, from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, June 4 at Dick’s. Participants can choose their own design. Fee is $40, and for information or a late signup call (612) 998-9941.
– The latest Obey Clothing Company sale, which in this case will specialize in summer-type clothing, is at Dick’s on Sunday, June 7 from noon to 5 p.m. In this case, too, the flyer there has artwork of a skull — complete with spiked Mohawk — alongside the written copy that lists various categories of decidedly cool people who might benefit from such a clothing line. The event is cash only, and everything must go. All the clothes have the brand new with tags that label them as Obey gear.
– Between those two events at Dick’s is yet another, on Friday from 6-9 p.m., the band Dog Leg Left, whose music is definitely not for old duffers. It is atypical, sounding like My Morning Jacket, Pavement, Modest Mouse, the Jayhawks and even Dinosaur Jr. The resemblance to the Jayhawks is fitting, as the group has toured the country for a decade, but now has returned to their old stomping grounds, the St. Paul area.
