hey bfg- was just talking to a couple others about it- I don't know- I'll follow the crowd- I'm already going next Saturday. Becks is going Wednesday- so maybe Wednesday or Thursday evening and stay away from Labor Day Weekend incase any others want to come that have Labor weekend plans. Any ideas anyone?

It is necessary to play some thousands of games before one can get close to one's ultimate potential Go skill.

YIKES...no wonder he told me since I'd like Poker I'd like GO...

I'll be at the fair Monday, August 27 from noon until after the grandstand show in the evening - Weird Al.

I'll be at the Pioneer Press building around 3PM, in case anyone wants to meet up and say hi and maybe hang out for awhile.

I *think* I'll wear my Cooler Crew shirt.

I'll be with a friend of mine, but I'm sure she would not mind meeting up with others - she's met some of the Cooler Crew before - her name is Vicky.

I will check this website Monday morning around 8AM before leaving to have breakfast with my aunt, then meeting Vicky about 11AM to take the MTC (we're the M - T - Seats) to the fair. Please post if you plan to try to meet me. Thanks!

Man, its been a job getting ready for this trip! I'll have a housesitter/dogsitter here for the first time, so there has been a lot to do to get ready - instructions, food, keys, etc. - plus am working on finishing a writing project so I can meet with my clients in Plymouth on Tuesday morning.

Hope to see some of you at the fair!!!

The trip to MN was fairly uneventful. I did see a pair of mature bald eagles soaring on the thermal air currents, which is always thrilling. Traffic was crazy all the way from Duluth.

I'm at my son and DIL's. We went to Perkins for dinner.

I did bring my Cooler Crew shirt. Sounds like a hot day tomorrow 88 degrees and t-storms in late evening.

I'll check here just before I leave for the fair in the morning to see if anyone else is planning to be out there.

Thanks, I drew it myself. The shirt says "Northwoods" on the top and "Night out at moose junction" on the bottom.It has a picture of a moon with a deer and bear dancing in it with trees in the backround.

Heres the original and the pic I took it from.

I like how you characatured yourself into the photo.

hope clueys out at the home makeover for the unveiling - sounds like there are 120 people out there now but 1000 expected. I can't believe they did this in 3-4 days! wow.

By the way cm, I told Sarah that you met Ty and got your shirt signed and she about flipped out -- "why did you tell me that?" "I love that guy" -she's all jealous. She is a Food Network and HGTV and Home Makeover freak!

actually I was in the original photo and saw a webpage that explained how to draw from a picture so I used that one to trace the picture on another "layer" of the picture and then save only the layer you want. Was pretty easy, but I don't remember how to do it now.

Went to the State Fair yesterday. Pioneer Press building is gone. Gone. Just open air under the grandstand where they used to be. INFO folks told us they don't have a site there - just paper boxes. That seems very weird to me. Weird Al was awesome - he sure puts on a good show.

I don't think I'll be able to get to the unveiling today as my boss is out because of the power outage so I can't break loose. :frown:

Look who showed up!

I have a slide show taken by the man my son-in-law works with, but the link is really long and makes the page wide. I'm trying to find CM in the pictures.

Tony Richardson. :smile:

He's a fullback but didn't play half of the season last year because he broke his thumb.

we dont currently have internet at home right now.... both computers are on the fritz...

just popping on here, really quick from a top-secret location - we'll call it "The Batcave"....

does anybody want to do a cooler night at the fair, again this year, if it hasnt already gone down, and I missed it?

Ive already been out there twice, and we have plans, to go again this coming weekend.... probably on Saturday.... but i'm open for other days as well, if others are interested?

I definitely want to go on Saturday night to see Liverpool Legends at the Bandshell. They're supposed to be awesome, their manager is George Harrison's sister.

wish you luck ice.

if you eat before hand and sneak in something to drink than it'll only cost you $11. - thats the way we did it as teens. Than ran around and collected all the free stuff in the free KS95 bag. OR you get Nick to pay his $11 - have him go in first. Send him to the main fair store (about 2 blocks in from the entrance). He buys a Fair Book for $5. He gets his hand stamped and comes back out to you. You rip out the coupon that gets you in for $5!! Now one of two things would happen after that.... you give him the $5 for the coupon book and then it only cost you $10 to get in OR he keeps the book and you get in for $5!! either way YOU SAVE!

Sarah and I went the other day and it cost me over $100. I'm going Saturday night and only expect to spend about $30. Then we're going with the grandparents on Sunday and we're bringing $160! It can cost just the entrance fee OR it can cost a ton - just depends. I didn't see a few things the other day that I can't miss this year. Like the Michael Birawer exibit in the Fine Arts Bldg and the quilts and that crazy daredevil back on the 3rd Lair skateboarding park and more cheese curds!!
