    Let the music play - new Concert Reviews/Experiences

    Saw Gary Clark Jr at The Hilde outdoor venue in Plymouth last Friday. That man can REALLY play the guitar. I could sit and watch/listen to his guitar playing all day. Had a really cool stage presence as well. Was a fun show. The opening acts were something called Kiss the Tiger, which we...

    Boston Celtics Bill Russell dies at 88 years old

    Greatest winner in all of sports, too sad to see him go. Here's an article from SI in 2014 that I enjoyed. Hope you do as well: https://www.si.com/nba/2014/08/15/bill-russell-boston-celtics-ring-leader-si-60-frank-deford

    Did I miss something?

    thanks for the help, but I still seem to either be missing something or not have access to that board. I clicked on the Pro Sports/Pop Culture and clicked on a couple "other forums" links and didn't find anything. I then even went to denguegopher's profile and looked at his recent posts since...

    Did I miss something?

    do you have to have a certain amount of posts to see the political board? I'm mostly a lurker/reader, and it seems to have disappeared for me.

    Favorite Bars

    They always have a real good beer selection (for my tastes), cool old building, great bar name, and I know one of the owners who's a really really fun guy. I've always had a blast when I've been there. Knowing one of the owners makes it a bit more personal for me though.

    Ha! No, that wasn't me. At least I don't think so. I've got a lot of blank tape from my nights at the Essen Haus, so I guess anything's possible. :)

    Favorite Music Venues

    Agreed on The Armory. Love that place. Got tickets in the middle balcony, and it was awesome. Clean, nice bathrooms that weren't crowded, waited barely at all for drinks. Was a great time and would go there in a second to see good music.

    Paul's Club - Madison, WI Earl's Saloon and Grocery - La Crosse, WI Essen Haus - Madison, WI Sunrise Inn - Mpls (now called Bull's Horn?) Most any Microbrewery in the Twin Cities, always fun to check them out. Had a lot of good times at Williams in uptown when I was a lot younger. My friends...

    Ben Carlson enters the transfer portal

    My thoughts exactly. I know he was hurt, but he's not shown much to make me think he's a high level D1 transfer.

    All Things 2022 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    if you're looking for online TV, Direct TV Stream has Bally's. From what I know, Comcast/Xfinity, Dish Network and Direct TV are the only ones that carry it unless you VPN it from somewhere. I really liked youtube TV and held out switching for a long time, but then in Dec there was a day or...

    2022 NCAA Tournament Thread

    Agreed, was so fun early on but now just disgusting. Not sure I'll even watch from here on out. Really hope Villanova wins, but that looks unlikely now.

    Hopefully they don't consider him because he's not very good at basketball.

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    I watched every season when the episodes were new until the beginning of this one. The first episode of this season I found myself looking more at my phone than watching. Started the second episode and didn't recall what happened in the first since I wasn't paying attention the previous week...

    I forgot all about Blimpie Subs...I used to love those when they first came out. Apparently there's one in something called Gaylord, MN. I didn't know they still existed. Next time I find myself in Gaylord, MN I'll have to stop in for one....so probably never, which is too bad.

    College Basketball 2021-2022 Thread

    I'd expect similar foul problems for WI given Purdue's bigs. WI is not deep, so that could be a really big issue for them. I can't imagine Johnny Davis having the same type of game, he was so good in that one and would be tough to replicate. Agreed, should be a good game, but if the Badgers...

    Field of 68 Projection: Michigan Enters Field As Last Team In

    am I remembering correct that those losses for Rutgers were early on when they had injury issues?

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    Just finished Archive 81 on Netflix with one of my kids, was creepy and a bit out there but we really liked it. Also really liked Midnight Mass/Netflix. Growing up catholic, I knew the words to most parts of the mass scenes and all the songs. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

    I've had Crue/Def Leppard tix forever too, now it's rescheduled for when I'll be on vacation out of MN. too bad. I hope there are tix available for RATM for people who didn't buy them the first time around, would like to see them again. Saw them in about 1999 on the Battle for LA tour, it...
