Future church. That's an accurate, but wholly insufficient description of how the night began at Sacred Heart Music Center with Robot Rickshaw (aka Troy Rogers) and over 20 co-conspirators for what proved to be the night's most talked-about event. The performance was sometimes an earnest look back at a future that may come to be with "readings from the book of the collapse", sometimes humorous with a responsorial of "ok, cool", and a collection of money from the congregation; shortly thereafter, this wealth was redistributed as the bills were showered back into the audience. Though the music was experimental and more atmospheric, the in-house organ frequently kept the tone tied to that of a Christian gathering. Also of note; in the future, the communion host is sour dough and Homegrown founder Starfire is the Messiah.

One of her favorite things about her job is the opportunity to share music from the Twin Ports’ many talented local artists. In her spare time she takes full of advantage of Duluth’s outdoors opportunities.
