UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Bloomsday in Roxbury

Michael Duffy, a reader, sends UD the following Bloomsday (well, one day after Bloomsday -- they're stretching the celebration into a full week in Dublin, so I think this is fine) event information:

BLOOMSDAY

SUNDAY, JUNE 17, 3 - 5PM

Guiness, Irish stew, colcannon, steak and kidney pie


ROXBURY TAVERN

8901 Y SAUK CITY, WI 608 643 8434

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE SINCE 1989


Duffy's in the Irish musical group that's performing at Roxbury Tavern that afternoon -- it's in Roxbury, Wisconsin. He says they'll give you free beer and an Irish dinner if you'll get up and read a passage from Ulysses.
