This Just In!

Sequoia will be playing the blues tomorrow night at 8:30pm, after she finishes the dishes.

Thanksgiving Hours

We'll be open from 8am-12pm on Thanksgiving Day so you can fuel up for a day of eating and napping.

Adventures in Gardening

Today Kate and I laid to rest the final remnants of Paradigm's inaugural garden. "Garden Experiment 2008" taught us many important lessons, namely the importance of a staggered planting schedule. We plan on hitting the ground running next spring to bring you even more locally grown, organic produce for our menu items.

In the meantime, we're looking forward to a winter full of Sarafina's Soups:)

The Craft Fair is Coming...

We're excited to announce Paradigm's first craft fair extravaganza! In accordance with our commitment to keeping it local, The Local Yokel Yuletide Craft Fair will take place here in the shop on Sunday, December 21 from 10am-6pm. The list of exhibitors is being finalized, but we can guarantee unique, handmade items for your last-minute shopping pleasure.

Stay tuned...

Gillen & Turk Rocked Fearlessly

just as they promised they would. (11/23/08)

No music scheduled this week, but mini-high school reunions are likely.

Last Night, Tonight

If you weren't here last night, well, sucks to be you.

Molly Venter amazed us with her powerful voice and original, personal songwriting. A heckler with a harmonica approved.

And if you missed last night (or even if you were here), you should definitely make it out tonight to see one of Milwaukee's best, Pezzettino. I can guarantee it will be worth braving the cold.

French Toast Tomorrow

Give us your photos!

We're collecting shots of the shop to adorn the walls. Photos from past shows are strongly encouraged. Drop 'em off anytime!

Artists are dropping like flies...

Tomorrow's Art Opening, Shells, is cancelled because Melissa Zipperer has mono and is not permitted in the building. We wish her a speedy recovery as well (as fast as a mono recovery can be).

Tonight's Show Cancelled :(

Bad news to report...Emily Hurd bonked her head and can't play tonight. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her when she's all better.

In her place, Baker is going to juggle blueberry muffins while whistling tunes from the musical, 'Hairspray.' Not really, but if she ever did we'd have to charge a cover.

French Toast!

Don't forget to stop in tomorrow for French Toast. We start serving at 9am and go until we run out of bread. Every Sunday!
