Minnesota "Nice"

Does this make it official? Got my new Minnesota Plates!

If I can't cheer on the Orange in person, I guess I can deal with the Timberwolves! If you aren't a huge SU fan like me, Jonny Flynn, plays for the Timberwolves and he used to play for the 'CUSE and is now pro! Fortunately for me, the Timberwolves sucked this year, so much that season tickets for next year are REAL cheap, cheap enough I couldn't resist, I am really looking forward to seeing a bunch of NBA teams come to town, 40+ home games in the Target Center downtown Minneapolis! BTW, the shot below is from when the LA Lakers were in town, Kobe was on the bench the whole game, though. I get to see this on the way to work everyday! Downtown Minneapolis! Don't let this picture fool you, this pic is from a Sunday afternoon, normally and 99% of the time the traffic is horrible on that highway!

That is the great Mississippi River! Apparently in northern Minnesota almost to Canada it starts as a tiny stream they you can go stand in, before it connects with some bigger rivers and lakes, pretty cool.

One of the 'perks' of Best Buy is that when some artist signs a deal with us for promotions or whatever, they often give a free show at the Corporate Office, the only one I have catched so far are these guys the BoDeans, ever heard of them? Yeah... me either! haha They are most well known for the Party of 5 theme song 'Everyone wants to be... closer to free'. Crazy part is that played 8 songs or so and didn't even do that song! I am anxouisly waiting for some other cool people to head to the office, in the past the Black Eyed Peas, Sting, Bon Jovi have all been there... hopefully they will back soon!
