Twin Cities Events: June

CONCERT

Melt-Banana plays at 7th St. Entry

Local Japanese punk favorites Birthday Suits open.
The tour includes stops in Des Moines (6/26) Lawrence (6/27) and Omaha (6/28) after opening for Tool this weekend in St. Louis and Ft. Wayne. Say what you will about this band--they do not neglect the Midwest.


ART

This is a fascinating exhibit of more than 200 illustrations from Japanese comics for girls. Admission is free, but you might want to call ahead to make sure the building is open. If you can't make it, the link above contains a nice gallery of images.

GROUP

Minneapolis Japanese Language and Culture Meetup Group
This is a new group that we know nothing about, so we can't exactly endorse it, but it may be worth checking out. First meeting was held June 19th.
