There is a new show on Adult Swim titled, Joe Pera Talks With You. It came to my attention that the show is set in the Upper Peninsula. In the first episode, Joe Pera Shows Your Iron, Joe dutifully talks the viewers through the history of iron mining in the Upper Peninsula and shows the impact it has on the economy. There is a montage of Joe holding copper in one hand, iron in the other, in which he visits the black rocks at Presque Isle, the Superior Dome, the old ore dock, and downtown Marquette. You can even see the UPSCo. building in one shot before we opened its doors.
C_ulture of Cult_ kicks off for the seventh time this Thursday, May 3rd. As with every edition of the show, this is the happening event of the week in the heart of Marquette. The pop-up art exhibit kicks off at 7PM at Ore Dock Brewing Company.
Are you new to Culture of Cult? Here’s the rundown…
“In 2014, the Culture of Cult art series was created to showcase local and nationally recognized talent. Through a set of themes, artists come together to help break down the high-brow stigma of art collectives and create a gallery of familiar content. Taking place in Marquette, Michigan - the culture of cult is a unique, one-night only “pop-up” style art show. Bi-annually, we encourge artists to contribute in the juried exhibitions, and welcome patrons to share their experiences through social media.” – www.cultureofcult.com
A longtime friend and customer of UPSCo brought to our attention the following comic that was included in New Yorker magazine. We chuckled, for quite some time. Have a look yourself.
