Larry is a fixture several nights a week at Field #11 because of it's close proximity to the bike trail and it's tucked away location that's far from the street (less chance of Park Police busting heads for imbibing).

SERVER // THE BULLDOG RESTAURANT AND THE INDEPENDENT
How would you describe the places you work at?
They are both neighborhood bars, catering to diverse groups of people.
They are both fun work environments and I am fortunate to work with great people.
Which night would you recommend?
Both places have happy hour from 3pm to 7pm every day and both have nightly specials Sunday through Thursday nights.
What’s the best experience you’ve had working in the service industry?
Meeting lots of great people.
What are your thoughts on the smoking ban?
I am for the smoking ban. I like not having to work in a smoky atmosphere and not smelling like an ashtray at the end of the night. Both The Bulldog and The Independent have smoking patios equipped with heating devices. They make smoking outside more enjoyable in the winter and therefore less of an issue for us.
What are your thoughts on Minneapolis nightlife?
I think that people have a variety of options when they go out. Minneapolis has a lot of great restaurants and great hangouts all over the city. Downtown isn’t the only destination spot any more–Northeast has a lot of great new places as does Uptown.
When you have a night off, where do you like to go?
I feel like I am out 5 nights a week, so relaxing at home is my favorite place on my nights off.
Drink of choice?
Vanilla latte or triplecaff.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT-- FEATURING CARRIE BUSH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Current Spotlight .... Carrie Bush interviewed by Susan Marks.
Meet Carrie Bush, our Member Spotlight for February and March. Carrie works in the local freelance production industry as a coordinator and assistant. However, Carrie’s reach goes beyond Minneapolis. Recently, she worked on a documentary film that took her around the globe for four months. (Be sure to ask Carrie all about her exciting adventures!)
Carrie also works on independent projects, including a documentary film she is codirecting with Carrie Volk and MN WIFT member, Molly Worre. The three directors received an IFP Access Grant for this film that follows two women living in the Harriet Tubman Family Alliance.
“Our working title for this film is REDEFINE,” said Carrie. “Through our documentary we are exploring the cycle of abuse and hopefully giving a good sense of where these women are coming from - telling a story that doesn’t usually get told in mainstream media.”
Like so many others in filmmaking, Carrie has a diverse background and eclectic education. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Carrie attended the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where she studied Cultural Anthropology and American Indian Studies. Carrie went on to teach Physics, Astronomy and Environmental Education in several nontraditional classroom settings, including a stint in Argentina. Carrie also turned her passion for camping and nature into a career, leading numerous canoeing trips for the YMCA.
According to Carrie, “I’ve had several careers, but my switch to filmmaking stemmed from the need I saw for more socially responsible media. I’m interested in being a part of the way the world communicates to one another. I love to know people’s stories from all over and see the interconnectiveness. And I decided I want to capture some of our rich oral traditions.”
While enrolled in MCTC’s Digital Arts Program, Carrie started working and interning for MN WIFT members, Melody Gilbert and Kathy Ferry. The mentoring experience had a profound effect on Carrie and she hopes to continue and give back through her involvement in MN WIFT.
“More often than not, I am one of the few women on set, so it’s great to be apart of organization that supports women in this industry. I love the comaraderie and the spirit of mentorship I see in MN WIFT,” said Carrie.
“My hope is to continue to work as a filmmaker in a sustainable work environment. I
love what I do and my goal is continue to help give underrepresented people a voice in media.”
