hollygonightly: It’s back, It’s back!  After a 3-month hiatus, Give & Take returns to their regularly scheduled programming tonight in Minneapolis. Still not sure how this thing works? Allow me to explain: You show up at the Intermedia Arts building at 6:30 and look for a nice lady sitting behind a table with nametags like the one above scattered all over it.  From there, you grab a Sharpie and you ask yourself these two questions: “What do you know?” and “What do you want to know?”, keeping in mind that you might be asked to elaborate on what you know, so for example, don’t write down that you know German if, hypothetically, you took three years of the language in middle school and can only memorize a phrase that tells people you prefer to travel by street car. You know, for example. Tonight my nametag will read: “I know how to make a killer Bloody Mary” and “I want to know how to hang drywall.” Topics for tonight are scheduled include: Janelle Nivens and Emily Lloyd on Neighborhood Art Projects (Minneapolis Neighborhood Project and 6 Words Twin Cities) Maggie Ryan Sanford on “Why Dolphins are Badass”  Peter Schilling on the Art of Heckling But maybe you hate dolphins and you’re still traumatized by the heckling you endured at a Junior High track meet? Fear not, the topics change every month, so there’s something for everyone.  Here’s a quick list of some past presentations/presentors: -  Paul Merrill on Minnesota history-  Mike Phillips on charcuterie: the art of curing meat-  Aaron Landry on pizza-  MPLS.TV on starting a local media empire-  Art Allen on beards-  Kristin Shardlow and Shanai Matteson on growing up in small town Minnesota-  Sara Blair on how to meet new people in the Twin Cities-  Dr. Scott Fahrenkrug on cloning pigs-  Steph Pituc on Filipino cooking-  Erin Schumacher on experiential creative writing-  Conner McCall on street food culture in Minneapolis-  Andy McInnis on screen printing-  Becky Lang on how the Internet is changing the English language-  Jay Gabler on how to make a perfect mix CD-  Jake Nyberg on mullets-  Ed Kohler on freeing yourself from the dual scourge of phonebooks & junk mail-  Erica Edwardson & Stephanie Pituc on becoming a Twin Cities karaoke idol Co-signed, Ben Shardlow, Holly Fan Club Secretary-Treasurer
