Originally published by DK on August 20, 2018 at 12:32 pmA Student of History
Back in my high school days, I had the option to take more than your average amount of history classes: Ancient Civilizations, Western Civilizations, American Experience. St. Paul Central’s Quest program was an early precursor to AP and IB type coursework and Mr. Demers, the history teacher, was one of my all-time favorites. I also was a fan of geography, so when you mixed in the opportunity to travel that my mom’s work allowed, history literally came alive for me.
This past week I’ve been watching the Ken Burns and Lynn Novick ten-part documentary on the Vietnam War. It amazes me how much I didn’t know about this historical event that played out during my lifetime – especially since my father participated in it directly (and it’s the reason I’m not a native Minnesotan). Now I’m looking forward to lunch with him and having an opportunity to ask questions about a topic we’ve never really discussed much (something I wish I’d done with my grandfather and World War II).
I found it interesting to see so many similarities between then and now politically. We like to think that our current environment is the most divisive ever, but this has really been America for a long time. As Thomas Polgar, the Saigon station chief for the C.I.A. wrote in his last cable from the embassy: “Those who fail to learn from history are forced to repeat it. Let us hope that we will not have another Vietnam experience and that we have learned our lesson.”
Note to self: research how so many Midwest politicians rose to play such prominent roles during this period of history (Humphrey and McCarthy in Minnesota, McGovern in South Dakota).

Originally published by DK on June 30, 2015 at 4:08 pmKids in the Hall at the State
Shortly after I staggered across the finish line at the Superior Spring 50K in Lutsen, I hopped in the car and drove south as fast as I legally could to catch the Kids in the Hall at the State Theater in Minneapolis. The tickets said it started at 8:00pm, so my extra slow race made it a lot tighter than I planned. Ended up missing the first two and a half sketches, but I was glad I told Colleen to drive on her own and meet me there.
We had really great seats this time: main floor center, row B, with two seats right on the aisle. That made it easy for me to sneak in with an usher during a quick break and I really liked being so close. This wasn’t really the second row (there were two rows in the orchestra pit), but it was fun to really see all of their facial expressions without having to use a pair of binoculars. We both parked at the new “secret” ramp at the end of Hennepin, since everything else was full due to the Piano Man also performing at Target Center that evening.
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since we saw them last at the Orpheum (April 26, 2008). It’s even harder to believe that Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson formed the troupe in 1984 (the TV show ran from 1988 to 1994). The sketches on this Tour 2015 included a mix of new, including a few of our favorite characters and sketches:
- Charles Budderick “Buddy” Cole (Thompson)
- Gavin (McCulloch)
- Headcrusher Mr. Tyzik (McKinney)
- Bruce singing The Daves I Know
- Running Faggot
Still waiting for The Pit of Ultimate Darkness with Simon and Hecubus, but they told us at the end we may be waiting a while for the next KITH production.
Hope they don’t wait too long…
