WOW! I can't believe they fit a band in that place. We used to go there all the time during the summer. Is it actually going to close or just be put up for sale?
I know that area did take a big hit once the toll bridge was closed years ago. But I thought the marina would still support it.
Looks like you guys had a fun time anyway. Sorry about your phone LL.
well, the band was only 3 guy's but still! poor jeremy is trying to sing and play guitar and people were right on top of him, I wouldn't play in a place that small. the owner said his lease was up so it sounds like someone else is taking over and it will still be open.
I attended service for Kirby at the dome, last night.....
 :frown:
LOTS of people... huge turnout...
large assortment of current/former Twins players, mostly the '87 team, a few from '91....much of them still looking the same, yet older, all at the same time...
Much like the Dome, itself....
stained from the years its been used, but still feeling somewhat like "home"....
Cal Ripken Jr was there, and spoke.... that was nice...
T.K. at the end, was too choked up to speak very long, and had all the players get up, together for a nice tribute/ picture op (I didnt take any.... I was a little cry-baby-bitch, as soon as his family walked onto the field, and temporarily forgot how to use my camera)
very sad time, when they included all the music and videos.... I taped it here at home.... it replayed on a couple of channels way late at night....
The parent company of the Star Tribune has agreed to buy Knight Ridder Inc., publisher of the Pioneer Press, for $4.5 billion, in a deal that will create the nation's second-largest newspaper chain.
one the bright side, one possible suitor for the pp is the newspaper guild which represents workers at the pp:
The Newspaper Guild has said it is interested in acquiring newspapers where it represents workers, including St. Paul, Duluth and Grand Forks. Philadelphia, San Jose and Akron are also of interest to the Guild buyout effort. MediaNews, whose chief executive Dean Singleton visited the Pioneer Press and others, could also be a player. Gannett, too, may look to bid for papers in smaller markets. MediaNews and Gannett had been seen as teaming on a bid for all of Knight Ridder, but that never materialized, according to reports.
the power went out around here, at like 5:30 this morning..... practically the entire East Side....
just came back on, like a half hour ago....
I have a stereo in my upstairs, that has no backup battery, no nothing... it just plugs into the wall... whenever the power goes out, that thing still works....
It freaks me out, every time.... I think its haunted....
I shoveled 10 inches of snow here. Dug my shovel in and measured. Drifts on my steps were so big I took them down by scooping three times. Just cleared both sets of steps and sidewalk down to curb. Hopefully the neighbor will plow me out when he gets home from work.
Tomorrow is trash day and I trudged through snow almost to my knees to get to my alley. Lots of drifts back there.
Did anybody else get their mail yesterday? The post office always attempts to get the mail out on bad weather, but if too many vehicles wipe out they usually stop. We didn't get any and we live 2 blocks from the SSP post office. Damn Postal workers!!! :eyeroll: :wink:
Nope, no mail here. The daughters up by you didn't get theirs Kitch. But maybe they just didn't have any mail yesterday. That's only the second time I remember not getting mail because of a storm.
When we still lived in an apartment we had a huge storm on St. Patrick's day. Snow up to the tire tops. No one in our apartment building could get out for work so we had a big party in the hallway. No mail, no paper, but when we ran out of booze the liquor store made it through the snow for a delivery.
but when we ran out of booze the liquor store made it through the snow for a delivery.
Lucky for me, my next door neighbor works at the liquor store now. I could have him bring home my order after work. Which he would leave early if I said he could share. :smile:
a lot of the junk mail I get, though is because of my sister...
she surfs the net all day at work, signing up herself, and friends and family for freebies that she finds....
I dont think Ive had to buy deodorant, or toothpaste, or disposable shavers, or dog/cat treats for close to 2 years.... it keeps coming for free...
that along with TONS of free magazines - Blender, Spin, Rolling-Stone, Vibe, Paste, FHM, Maxim, Stuff, Baseball America, National Geographic, Smithsonian, and tons of others... this list, is just off the top of my head......a few electronic ones....
as well as coupons, and tons of alchohol related stuff...(magnets, hats, posters, pins, do-not-disturb signs, ... even got a "valet tray" from some vodka company a while back)
Once in a while, though... theres stuff that im just like "why the hell did I get this?", which gets tossed....
It was a surreal day Sunday where there was no snow on the ground, warm and everybody was outside enjoying Springtime at 50+ temps. Then Minnesota decides to remind it residents of what makes this state unique. The weather. Which personally, I enjoy to the hilt. L.A. would bore the hell out of me. I don't care how 'perfect' they say their weather is. Not by my book. I need and crave change. Plus, it helps make us a productive people. Which I'm sure is in direct correlation with our high standard of living. (or say the news programs anyway)
The day my parents brought me home and shoveled their car out of the parking lot, was a scene to behold as there was one dark square parking spot. Clear of snow. Waiting to be cleaned. In a parking lot with no other cars and tons of snow.
I'm sure it was embellished but I like the visual anyway.
My Mom said she went into labor on a bright 50 degree day and had me in the middle of a huge cold snowstorm, now in the record books, a few hours later.
Her favorite part was getting all kinds of green stuff with her food, linens and everything else and not really knowing it was Sat. Patty's Day. Now she, nor I, will ever forget it.
Snow Accumulations Of Three To Seven Inches Are Anticipated Over Most Of South Central Minnesota And West Central Wisconsin From Tonight Into Thursday. A Winter Storm Warning Is In Effect Along And South Of A Line From Willmar Minnesota... To The Northern Twin Cities Metro Area...
We had tons of birds on Saturday. I mean it was crazy. And odd as it seemed, each large tree had it's own type of bird in it and no other ones. The Robin tree had at least 15 of them. But the Chickadee tree had 100's. Lots of black birds too. I'll post a picture later. It was way loud too. Of course I have video of that too.
yup, damn sandpipers are back already too, they like to eat my grass seed and they are really LOUD. have fun with the snow, we aren't getting any :pbpt:
my cousin comes up from, Texas for a week, and before he leaves, he says that he hopes we get dumped on....
It happens...
the other day, my sister leaves for a week and a half vacation in Florida.... before she leaves, she tells me "I hope you get a buncha snow, while I'm gone"
Nick, its 1 hour later somewhere.... keep in mind...I think this is how it works... If its 11:48 am in St Paul IT IS TRUELY noon. St Paul is really off by 12 minutes. Off by what? I don't remember.
hey sometime next week (after this storm) is there anyone that can help me move some big things? anyone have a pickuptruck?
I know that area did take a big hit once the toll bridge was closed years ago. But I thought the marina would still support it.
Looks like you guys had a fun time anyway. Sorry about your phone LL.
and we did somewhat of a head count-
CAP is 49 --- last count was 80!
I'll post my pics later-
late happy b-day to ya, LL...
sounds like it was a blast!
:grin:

:sigh:
on the news a minute ago, they're saying that the company that owns Star Trib bought Knight-Ridder......
should we be worried?!?!
Wow!
The parent company of the Star Tribune has agreed to buy Knight Ridder Inc., publisher of the Pioneer Press, for $4.5 billion, in a deal that will create the nation's second-largest newspaper chain.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press (MN) is to be sold due to anticipated anti-trust concerns involving McClatchy's (Minneapolis) Star Tribune.
Snakes, an aeroplane and lenny bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
Serves itÂ’s own needs, dummy serve your own needs. feed
It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. wire
In a fire, representing seven games, a government
For hire and a combat site. left of west and coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low playing! fine, then. uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but itÂ’ll do. save
Yourself, serve yourself. world serves itÂ’s own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered and the right, right. you vitriolic,
Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
Psyched
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six oÂ’clock - tv hour. donÂ’t get caught in foreign
Towers. slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
Churn. locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
Letting. every motive escalate. automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive. step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
Fear cavalier. renegade steer clear! a tournament,
Tournament, a tournament of lies. offer me solutions,
Offer me alternatives and I decline
(chorus)
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it (itÂ’s time I had some time alone)
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it (itÂ’s time I had some time alone)
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (itÂ’s time I had some time alone)
I feel fine
(repeat chorus)
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
Drift divide. mountains sit in a line, leonard
Bernstein. leonid brezhnev, lenny bruce and lester
Bangs. birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! you
Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? right
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it
ItÂ’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (itÂ’s time I had some time alone)
Fine

Why does that day seem familiar to me? :wink:
