Ghosts, Zombies and Scary Stories

Our producers are getting into the Halloween spirit. Or spirits.

In recent days, lots of stories have popped up on Ampers.org about ghosts, zombies, haunted theaters, haunted houses, slaughterhouses and psychics.

Here's a freaky, creepy sampling:

Famous Last Words: "I Could Do That ..."

We've all been there. You see something at a Fair and think to yourself, "Why would I buy that? I could make that myself, it wouldn't even be hard." The time I tried this was with Willow Walking Sticks - you know, the beautiful and heavy kind that have been pealed, sanded and varnished.

A subjective Twin Cities arts preview

Yes, the end of summer is a bummer.

But autumn brings other joys: leaves, baseball playoffs (go Twins!) and a full-tilt, high energy theater, dance and performing arts calendar.

Here are a few highlights:

• The Northrup Dance season features American Ballet Theatre (Oct. 9), Paul Taylor Dance Company (Nov. 30) and the Voronezh State Ballet Theatre of Russia performing "Swan Lake" (Feb. 3).

KFAI's 10,000 Fresh Voices

Producers at KFAI are doing a terrific job documenting the Twin Cities art scene. They've recently produced stories on a Japanese Lantern Festival in St. Paul's Como Park, Ketzal Coatlicue Aztec Dancers in Eagan, B-Girls at Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis and a Hmong Arts Festival in the Twin Cities.

Now that's some kickin' diversity.
