Tom Horgen has covered nightlife for the Star Tribune since 2005 – a dream job by anyone’s standards. If only he could hold his liquor and didn’t dance like Carlton from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” His weekly column appears in Friday Variety A&E. He also contributes musings on hip-hop, comic books and other pop-culture topics.
