The heavy metal band Slipknot slammed the Alltel Civic Center last night in Mankato with a roaring good crowd and some "aggressive" but "safe" mosh pit action.
And our City Hall reporter was there. Not because Slipknot has much to do with City Hall - though it does because the city owns the civic center - but because let's just say he finds the music, ah, and performance of Slipknot at least as interesting as a Mankato City Council Meeting.
We're glad he was there and apparently so were our readers and web users. The Slipknot story was heading for the top story of the week in terms of online page views as of this writing, and that wasn't even the most recent story.
Our Features Amanda Dyslin wrote an interview piece with lead Slipknot performer, (Would we call him head headbanger?) and that story got some 3000 page views alone, most of it from our Facebook page.
So, of course, I immediately posted today's story to Facebook. But it goes to show you how newspapers can expand their audience, with only a little headbanging here and there.
