    2025 Minnesota State Fair Parking

    Ha, my 27-year-old daughter enjoyed Los Lobos last night...for a while. She bolted a little more than halfway through the show, which she said in advance she was going to do. A nice surprise: Rosie Flores--who'd played two sets at the same stage that afternoon--joined Los Lobos on stage for the...

    NEW MUSIC

    It's almost unbelievable how prolific Charlie Crockett has been. If my count is right, he put out three albums between the time I purchased the concert tickets and when the show was played. Good thing I gave it a good couple listens: he played several selections from it Saturday. Dollar A Day...

    2025 Minnesota State Fair Parking

    Wait, what?! Arrested Development!? How was it? I'm headed there Tuesday. Rosie Flores is playing two sets in the afternoon, and Los Lobos performs in the evening. To boot, Wild Horses--who opened for Charlie Crockett the other night--is out there as well.

    2025 Minnesota State Fair Parking

    Thanks for the map, Blizzard. I really don't know whether this was inevitable eventually, but I didn't see it coming. In any case, my wife and I were talking about how this will affect things, and she thinks people are generally going to pony up for the $25. That might be true, but I'm not sure...

    Let the music play - new Concert Reviews/Experiences

    It's practically perfect in every way, including restroom and amenities/concessions availability, the architecture of the built features, and--you mentioned it--the legroom! Denver is usually so cheap to fly to. My wife and I have said (but still need to put our money where our mouth is)...

    CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

    We can agree to disagree, but from someone like me--who's bored with most television these days--it's the furthest thing from a terrible show. It holds my interest when I tune in. It's very entertaining and funny, and it has high production standards compared with its direct competitors. That's...

    Big 10 Subs: Yeah baby, they’re back!

    I had a first date at Sgt Prestons after we saw a free preview screening of Planes, Trains and Automobiles at Willey Hall. That would have been November 1987, I guess. Successful first date. 😏🔥

    Big 10 Subs: Yeah baby, they’re back!

    I just remember their bottles were always cheap, and I always got Moosehead. Moosehead is good head; remember that! Do they even make that anymore??

    Big 10 Subs: Yeah baby, they’re back!

    It'll probably become like McDonalds with the McRib: programmed scarcity. Last time they had them available, they announced a "final" date of retiring them, so my wife and I went over there and gorged. To be honest, the ingredients were what I'd remembered, but the bread wasn't quite the same...

    Students paying students: How the U is trying to stay competitive in athletics

    When this "paying players" thing first hit, my immediate prediction was that it was just going to become another in a series of money pits for fans...which it did. But at least fans have the choice whether to opt in or not. Students are involuntary captives to the leeching.

    Book Recommendations

    If there are any Trekkies out there (in here), you owe it to yourself to buy this series: These Are The Voyages Exhaustive chronicles of the production of the original series, including story development and ratings--which have not been well known or available over the years (as Nielson was not...

    You aren't going to recognize Bielema this year.

    Love him or hate him, I'm very glad for him. What he's done is possible, but it ain't easy.

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    The name of the priest who baptized me was Roman Paur. I kid you not, his name was Roman Paur.

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    This is usually the point in the dream when I wake up.
