Asher Hartman and Haruko Tanaka

​Anybody can learn intuition, according to Haruko Tanaka and Asher Hartman, otherwise known as Krystal Krunch. The ability to read people is something that the duo have been practicing and teaching for a number of years. This Thursday, they will bring their experience to The Krystal Krunch Never Been to Me Tour at the Walker Art Center. Here, the two artists will give a workshop on how to tap into the hidden energies of people, art, and architecture. Afterwards, they will lead a tour of the "The Midnight Party" exhibition, inviting people to use their new found skill set.More >>

​When you're young, it doesn't take much to fill your juice jar with joy, and everything related to winter is marvelous. But after surviving Minnesota winter after Minnesota winter, even an elf would suffer from seasonal affective disorder.

City Pages decided to remedy this by tracking down some quirky classes, happenings, and activities to keep you busy, and to add to your New Year's resolutions. Our fun list incorporates the childhood enthusiasm of the season with just a twist of the radical (classes in Klingon sword fighting, anyone?).

​Taking a look at a family's Christmas tree decorations can be surprisingly personal. Many folks adorn their pine with pieces commemorating weddings, births, and graduations. Some are family heirlooms, some handmade, and others are so special that they always go in the best spot on the tree.

And then there are the ones that you wouldn't miss if they ended up in the wrapping paper trash, the ones you put off throwing away, and the ones that you can't even remember where they came from.

Ornaments come in all shapes and sizes, and can be cute, stupid, and, sometimes, just plain ugly. This holiday season, we took a moment to surf some websites peddling pieces (Etsy is always a goldmine) in search of some of the weirdest, most hilarious, and downright disturbing holiday ornaments on the market this year (like the Kewpie fork to your right). Enter at your own risk.

Now we know what a cat stuck in a car engine looks like.

​Sprout the cat was a little on edge. His owners left town and put him in the care of a cat sitter down the block, and that just wasn't sitting right. So come nightfall he stayed outside, roaming the yards of his Chaska neighborhood.

At some point, Sprout must have gotten very cold. Looking for shelter, he found what appeared to be a hospitable place to bed down for the night -- the still-warm engine of a silver sedan.

This, as it turns out, was a terrible decision.More >>

Michele Bachmann book cover

​Michele Bachmann's book cover has been unveiled, and as book covers go, Michele Bachmann's book cover is underwhelming and boring.

It's just a plain picture of Michele Bachmann against a beige background! This is the exact opposite of the Newsweek Crazy Eyes Cover that we knew and loved.

This looks like some kind of college text book. And what's with the italicized "of." That's where you decided to get jiggy with it?

She could not have picked a more boring and conservative pose. And her head looks kind of superimposed on her body.

Worst of all, she totally copied the design from Barack Obama's book!

Michael Arrington vs. David Carr Twitter Fight

​Michael Arrington is really pissed at David Carr, and he's venting his spleen on Twitter.

Tech magnate Arrington is beefing with the New York Times media critic because Carr deigned to write a critical column about Arrington's decision to abdicate his journalistic role to pursue a career as an investor in the very companies he used to cover--a conflict of interests anathema to old school journos like Carr.

It got to the point that Arrington threatened to go nuclear on the Gray Lady:

Dancing robot at Minnesota State Fair gets funky.

​A giant dancing robot that rides an electric scooter has invaded the Minnesota State Fair, bringing joy and mirth to all who witness its ass-tastic routine.

The massive metal dancing machine brings its own soundtrack and is single-handledly more entertaining that all three of the Transformers movies combined.
