| 1 | VideoPaper Darts | When Jamie Millard and Meghan Murphy graduated from college in the Spring of 2009, their hopes of launching careers in the Twin Cities publishing industry were thwarted by a difficult economy. Their response was to create Paper Darts, a literary arts magazine that combines poetry, prose, and design in ways that the local literary arts scene had never seen before. Additionally, Paper Darts is renowned for holding live events more reminiscent of a rock concert than an evening at the library. MNO On The Go attended Super Super Tuesday, the latest Paper Darts live event, to witness the magic unfold firsthand. Watch the video for more from Paper Darts and guest reader / performer John Jodzio. http://www.mnoriginal.org http://www.paperdarts.org http://www.johnjodzio.net http://www.nomadpub.net | 5/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 38 | VideoAlex Kuno | Appreciators of painter Alex Kuno’s series The Miscreants of Tiny Town often have a very different perspective on the story behind the image than the painter himself.

Closer inspection of these curiously whimsical depictions of children wearing animal skins, befalling some sad fate or fighting back against newly appearing adults brings these stories to life. mnoriginal.org | 1/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
