 | Any extra Lynx tickets out there? I went to the last two Final Game 5s and they went 1-1....maybe I need to break the tie in person? Even though it's within walking distance I was too cheap to pick up the only crummy seats remaining when I had a chance...so now I'm looking to be your +1 ... |

 | Upon further review, this weather is not exactly conducive to me walking to Nomad from home |
| 2.10.17 16:14 | | PAGE SIX, November 24, 2006: TOM Petty looks like a mellow old hippie, but guess again. "I can never have a gun in the house. I'm not allowed," the veteran rocker tells the February issue of Guitar World Acoustic. "I've had mine taken away for disturbing the peace. There were times when I'd just start shooting. Not at people, but I'd go out and kill a tree. When I'd get mad, I'd take a gun and kill some inanimate object. So it was the right thing to have the guns taken away. They're dangerous." |

| 28.9.17 20:49 | | It's my lucky day! I have AGAIN had my American Express card cancelled due to fraud - this time it was due to (I kid you not) an online order of TACOS by someone who wasn't me |

Plus, I hear GZG has been Nazi-free since 2014
Say a thirty dollar gift card will buy you a lotta $3 beers (ten - it will buy you ten $3 beers - I'm good at math)
See you next Thursday (and/or tomorrow for the last one at Country Bar) |

| Video - Facebook hates sharing YouTube links with you but no matter: here is the Cookie Butter Oreo video (when you don't see this later, I'll send you back here) - somehow the office filled with people as soon as I opened them. I also forgot to tell you it's currently 61° here. |

| 26.9.17 18:26 | |  | I have exactly one photo on my phone taking during our loop around the BEAUTIFUL Boundary Waters Canoe Area - here it is. I actually connected to the AT&T 3G network just long enough to annoy everyone on Facebook for having brought along my phone (what, you don't do that?) and this was during that time Sunday morning. We eventually got deep enough in that even that wasn't happening. I haven't used my CAMERA camera since the Paul McCartney concert I attended (Cinco de Mayo 2016) but brought it song for the trip; it was working fine and holding a charge so there'll be a lot of probably really boring pictures to come along with POSSIBLY some unattractive candids of my very attractive river guides (we'll do some haggling to see what gets made public ;-) ) - for now I wanted to say that having had no clue what I was really doing, having not roughed it with a backpack in probably 25 years, somehow I STILL managed to survive AND not change my shorts, underwear OR socks ONCE. I also went without once having to poop using any of the US Forest Service latrines - I used to manage to go the whole week back on the high school trips, but I don't think I would have done that this time. It did rain, but never while we were trying to get anywhere. The bugs were manageable. One particular mouse did seem to want to kill me and I experienced some trauma there, but that was really the roughest nature I encountered. We saw beavers, otters, squirrels and/or chipmunks (they did look different) and I even managed to be alone on a trail when I heard the not entirely graceful flutter of a wild turkey, which sadly I failed to capture in photo form. But what can I tell you about Kelsey and Andy that you don't already know? They are truly lovely, special people who I had the great honor of sharing close quarters with, had good times, talked, didn't talk and watched it happen around us, and pretty much fed me because all I brought was jerky, oat bran sesame sticks and gummi worms because they told me to leave it to them. They also (along with Kimber and I think Molly) helped gear me up - MAN I want a sweet Duluth Pack bag of my own now - because everything I'd ever hiked with was either back at my parents' house or more likely in a landfill from lack of utility and age. Speaking of which, I wore some of my oldest K-Swiss Classics - ALSO my hiking shoe of choice back in the old days - but did not realise how truly old these were as they deteriorated RAPIDLY over the course of the 48 hours...I'm sure it didn't help that I was constantly swapping them out for the $2 flip flops I acquired on the Portland trip, but I was certain that these shoes needed to be kept dry lest they completely dissolve. Amazingly, I managed to keep them dry - I DID squish the mud a few times, but it always came off. There's a good photo of THAT somewhere in my camera, too. ANYWAY. Andy, Kelsey, I love you, we MUST do it again, I'll happily carry a hundred pounds on my back if I have to if it means Andy will manoeuvre a canoe on HIS (although maybe I can try it next time too) and now I know the meaning of "portage" I'll prrrrrrobably never forget that a rod is 16 AND A HALF feet. Next time we go more days, fart around way more, get things a LITTLE more peak in the leaf department, MAYBE slip in and out of Canada "by mistake" AND just once, get a good fire going, even if it kills us. "I'll just blow on it some more!" Photos eventually. I definitely feel blessed. |

| 23.9.17 15:38 | | Andy and Kelsey have talked me into traveling to waters near the boundary where I may very well be off the entire Internet for up to 48 hours. Also, I could be struck by lightning. Or eaten by a bear. Or both. Thoughts and prayers. Oh, wait, maybe we'll all be raptured! Well, if that DOESN'T happen, see you again either late Monday or at my funeral #goodbyestreak #nopokemongo |

| 21.9.17 16:30 | |  | #tbt In Portland, we made sure to hit the SHADOWPLAY "goth night" at The Lovecraft. As I do, I wore my gothiest neon batman shirt and Allison captured me in the big room full o' black light and fascinating objects for this shot. I am something of a fascinating object myself, I suppose. I loved the Portland goths and they tolerated me. Any future trips to Portland will definitely need to have a Thursday night free.

| 14.9.17 11:35 | | Sometimes people walk up and talk to me and remind me that we're Facebook friends and I have to affect the deer-in-the-headlights look until they remind me who they are and how we were connected on Facebook. A technique I've recently employed with my male and male-presenting friends is to ask them "are you...one of the Dans?" and surprisingly, this is correct about half the time. Last night's Dan was Dan Schulte-Sasse and I wanted to tell everybody it was a fun conversation AND also make a pre-emptive public apology in advance for almost certainly not being able to remember him the NEXT time we talk, too. :) But please, don't stop approaching me, obviously I'm very shy and introverted in public despite my ebullience and effervescence here on the social network and at least we'll get a status out of it |
| 13.9.17 16:07 | |  | Lately by the time I get to these, the accounts have already been disappeared, but we got really lucky with "Frida Anselmi" |

| Stubble remain big CRZ fans - I think they secretly hope I finally make it big (again?) someday so they can say they were in on the ground floor. And I have to say, when I start talking REALLY fast, transcribing an interview with me becomes some really heroic work, so well done with the text. I think we all knew I've never been above standing out in public yelling on a Sunday night... but now you have definitive proof. :) Thanks Tom! (Stubble: CRZ auditions to be the Timberwolves PA announcer) |
| 12.9.17 13:39 | | Hey! I'm taking an avowed pumpkin lover to this event on its very last night (Sunday 10/29, despite what the event page says) - you can get a pair of adult tix for $28 ($32.20 after fees) with a coupon code. Would you like to hang with us and a few thousand pumpkins and hopefully not rain or snow? |

 | DATELINE: BRYANT AVENUE SOUTH, JUST SOUTH OF LAKE STREET WEST - it was another interesting night at Triviasco... and another *successful* night at Triviasco, with our 20 point total giving us first place. Allison and I had just stopped at the SuperAmerica to peruse the snacks and find the perfect Coke for Aaron and were continuing our debrief of the previous couple hours at Country Bar as we approached my parked car, whereupon I realised my pockets were empty and my keys weren't in my man purse. "Oh," I thought, "I must have left them in the booth - Allison handed me the purse and I didn't even think to pick up my keys!" so back to Country Bar we went. I was already running late for karaoke so another few minutes weren't gonna kill me anyway. What DID kill me was arriving at Country Bar and discovering that the booth was cleaned out and nobody on the staff had picked up my keys. We moved all the benches to see if they'd fallen along the side out of sight - no dice. This was the point where I started to panic. Could I have placed them on the counter of the SuperAmerica? We headed back after I left my number at Country Bar in case somebody turned them in later. The counterperson at SA remembered us but there definitely weren't any lost keys. How exactly could I lose this GIANT string of keys? It'd had been just over two and a half hours - now going on three hours since we'd parked - if I'd dropped them, was there ANY chance they'd still be wherever I'd left them? But the car was still there! If someone had found them, they weren't smart enough to figure out how to unlock my car and drive off with it, at least. Maybe they were still ON the car? Could I have just left them on top of the car? I remembered getting out and posing for an Instagram selfie with Allison in the mirror-like windows of the building we'd parked alongside...could I have put them down when I took my own photo with my phone? Were they on the sidewalk, curb, street? Feels like somebody would have seen them and grabbed them, though. This IS Uptown, albeit one of the quieter blocks just off Lake in Uptown... I thought about checking Craigslist and seeing if anybody had already posted about them. Finally we made our way back to the car so we could do a close sweep around it. I looked at the driver's side door and felt my heart skip when I noticed it was unlocked. Hmmmmmm. I opened the door....and the little "ping" reminder that was supposed to warn me that I was leaving my keys IN THE IGNITION immediately started going off. So, yes, I managed to leave my keys in the ignition of my unlocked car from around 7.30 on a Thursday night almost three hours and NOBODY noticed, including your narrator. Somehow ALSO, nobody drove off with it (maybe they didn't know how to drive a stick) OR steal my Ray-bans or "now a collectors edition" magic iPod nano. I hadn't felt older for a long time. I ALSO hadn't felt like I'd burned off a lot of karma, but I was glad I'd had it to spend. I did turn to Allison and say "well... at least it'll eventually make a pretty good Facebook status." I guess what I'm trying to say is hey, here's exactly 600 words about why I was late to karaoke. Thanks again for reading. |
| 11.9.17 16:40 | | Whoa! FB brought back their calendar! Did hell freeze over? Have pigs flown? |
| 11.9.17 02:26 | | Just learned that in 2017 there was a 9/11 movie out starring Charlie Sheen, Luis Guzmán, Gina Gershon and Whoopi Goldberg and it....um.....bombed |
