I (also Jewish) worked as an archivist for the YMCA Archives (they are located at the UMN Libraries) for over 20 years and it's an org with almost 175 yrs of fascinating history in the US.

Hmmm. I'm still bitter about the parking citation I got in dntwn St Paul while legally parked at a paid for meter. Fortunately I had the receipt to prove it, but getting it dismissed was a huge PITA. It felt like they were counting on folks giving up because it would be easier to just pay the fine.

Seconding the comment re: Make Me Admin! I've been at UMN for 20+ years and always had some kind of admin access when I needed it. Unfortunately I think ppl have very different experiences with this sort of thing depending on their dept, but you can now apply for MMA directly from OIT via a form.

It's legitimate labor, IMO. You've consistently posted content that is relevant to me as an archivist. I day go for it!

No Lyndale this year. Hennepin instead, but only about 10 blocks. Since a big chunk of Hennepin in that area is already closed for construction it hardly even counts, IMO. The last two years on Lyndale were definitely low key compared to previously, and a much smaller section of the street. Lame-o.

Yeah a lot of us couldn't really hear, even with the bullhorn and didn't know what was going on so we just went rogue and toured on our own. The cats seemed OK with it.

Honestly I don't remember a ton of details, as it was 10 years ago,but one big difference is that it was originally staged in the round. Generally speaking tho, it just didn't have the same emotional impact on me.

I saw it on Broadway and I thought the Theater Latte Da production was actually better. I wanted to see it a second time but it didn't happen.
