This is just wrong

Already on the Celtics website...damn.

Read this and see why I'm seething. Thank you Kevin McHale for sucking the lifeblood out of Minnesota yet again. Go Celtics.

The Secret is Out

So I can finally officially spill the beans (now that someone else has first). Although I wanted to post "Rumors Confirmed" for days it wasn't allowed...I have loyalties. I will say that I heard it from the man himself (by 3 degrees of seperation). So this sucks.

3 degrees of seperation

Rumors are flying...

I wish I could spill...

but I won't. I'm sorry - a promise is a promise. but it's big. and sad.

I might be the only blogger in the history of bloggers who has really big (and confirmed) news that chooses not to say anything (although technically I'm saying something).
What could it be you ask? Wait and see...

Cue up the music

It's the end of the world as we know it...and I can't even tell you why.
All I'll say is that major news is about to drop. Major.

Too much love was simply too much - I think I threw my neck out? Another fantastic time out on the town - and this time a dance-off was started because of me! my life is complete.
I'm going to keep listing the people that show up to TML because it will hopefully establish that all who don't show up are missing out! Jen, Katie, Christina, Sarah- you all impressed (and suprised) me! Evil Pat, Dennis, Aaron & Quan - rad to see you guys (2 weeks in a row for Pat). And Sam 2 or Mexico Sam to some made it out as well (and couldn't get off my couch for a consecutive 18 hours). Don't mess with TML or it will mess with you! of course Mike & I kept it real...and so did ponytail guy.

Prior to TML we checked out Umber's Within A Certain Radius opening which was very cool. Unless you're Sarah.
Don't hesistate to check out the really cool work by Andy Ducett & Ben Garthus.

So last night my bed decided to fall apart at 1:00am - I'm sorry Jen - I went and slept in yours. God I'm glad I'm getting rid of that pile of springs...it doesn't help the insomnia.

Are you ready???

For another epic weekend?
Don't forget - because I almsot did...

Also - it sounds like there are going to be more special guests than ever at the upcoming too much love after umber...don't be a fool and miss it!

Tape Worms

So Erin, a lovely lady that I work with sent me a bunch of old advertisements today...enjoy:

Thursdays

Who knew so much was happening on Thursdays...it's like the new Friday!

Check this out! - varsity always makes for a good time
And This... - Fashion! and pools.
or THIS! - not so fashionable, but rad.
St. Paul has it too - particularly The Haves Have It

OMG...it's Lohan

Ok - so I've never posted about any celebrity before...and hopefully this is a one-time deal. But this is just TOO RIDICULOUS for me to not mention!

This girl has got to get her act together...out of control right now, and not in the good way! Damn girl.

Insomnia

So I've been having strange bouts of insomnia lately - and let me tell you - it sucks. That's right. Not getting sleep sucks. Apparently I'm somewhere between Transient and Acute Insomnia. Lame. Good thing google exists and I was able to find some awesome advice. Right.

I don't have really anything to rant or rave about...so that's it for now I guess.

Can't handle it!

This past weekend was so fun my head almost exploded. I kid you not. Let me give you the play-by-play.

So it has kind of been a goal of mine lately to make it to more shows...I need a good dose of creativity in my life. Friday night started with me meeting up w/ friends at the Terminal Bar in St. Anthony to check out Drinking with the Reverend. Don't be a fool and not go see these guys...they're a riot. Any band with a stand up bass and a bingo lottery between songs gets my seal of approval. If you have any reverence for religion, Jesus, or God - these guys might not be for you; but if you have a sense of humor you'll probably be ok.

After DWTR I made a pit-stop at the 331 Club. Thank you Oulman's for creating life in NE. Speaking of NE - it's blowing up - have you heard? Not only do the Gerricks, EC, Alicia, and their friend Shey live in NE - Mike & I will be residing there sooner rather than later as well. Due to power outages I made my way over to St. Paul for a good nights rest...like I was going to stay at home w/o power...I'm too big of a wimp!

Saturday was Chuck's birthday & Dance Party USA or DPUSA if you like acronyms (which I do). Not that I don't love Chuck, but DPUSA killed it. My brother and some of his friends made it out to another epic evening of too much love at 1st ave. If anyone has photos of Shawn killing it in the dance off please send them to me! Yeah to Evil Pat, Benji, Nate, Tuck & Stace, Tyler, EC, Lee, Shawn, Neal, Beth, Sarah & Mike for the killer moves.

Sunday was low key compared to Saturday night...but still a lot of fun. Mike & I went to the Red Sea (conveniently located near MPLS's finest crack stacks) to check out Sam 2 (or Mexico Sam) or to some people - just plain Sam - 's band play. They go by the moniker Shoreline and they will rock you to the core. Listen to their demo - but understand you have to see them live to fully appreciate how rad they are. There's something awesome about feeling powerless and full of power when listening to live music - and these guys give you that feeling...and I'm not just saying that because I know Sam is going to read this.

So anyway - I missed Pirates of the Caribbean at Solera last night to check out Shoreline, but I will be hitting it up tonight for POTC II if all goes well. Remember - mojitos are on special!

Too much hating...or love

Get ready! Too much love is back...it was only gone for 1 day...regardless...it's back! After I stuff my face with pad thai and cranberry puffs at than do for chuck's birthday extravaganza I'm getting my dance on!

I think I'm going to drag the little brother out to the dance party...show him another side of good ol mpls...he can handle it...can you?

DON'T FORGET! Pirates of the Caribbean & mojitos this Sunday night at Solera...if I can't go to the carib this year I can at least watch movies about it and drink.

Hey One on One - I want my bike!

Us Weekly

Oh NO you didn't. Don't you try & call me out on blogslacking...I at least post about more than articles in US Weekly. That's right. I said it.

July 28th - 8:00pm

If you're looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night (and I know you are) you should check out the new show at Umber Gallery by Andy Ducett and Ben Garthus. Hosted at the lovely Umber space - you're sure to have a good time!

Movies on the Roof

Consider this a formal invite to anyone who reads this...

7/22 (Sunday) and 7/23 (obviously Monday) I will be parking it on the Solera rooftop for Pirates of the Carribbean I & II. It doesn't get much better than Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and drink specials on Mojitos - and all outdoors.

Ya'll know I love my drinks...and pirates...aaarrrrggggghhhh

And she's back

Don't know why there was a posting hiatus...I kind of got bored of posting (for like a day). But I'm back!

I want to go to this
If anyone's game let me know - I'm down. I'll bowl a 300 on ya'll.

So as if I don't have enough to distract me at work (like this blog) I just recently found out (and by accident) that I have access to myspace while at work. That just doesn't seem right.

the GIRLS are back in town

So I picked up my fabulous lady friends from MSP last night after a 10+ week trip across Europe...so jealous. They in turn picked up Sarah from MSP after a week long trip to BeanTown. It's good to have everyone back again - even if they all left for the weekend already.

Tonight's the night - Infinity (@ Graves) is having a Prince Party - giving away Prince tickets for tomorrow night...you know where I'll be...

Obrigado

Obrigado! a pessoa que escreveu em português em meu blog. That's some sort of crappy translation of "Thanks! to the person who wrote in Portuguese on my blog." Going international.

So Transformers BLEW MY MIND! I have to say that I disagree with analysis that the first part of the movie was too long - it was strategically peppered with awesomeness that got you totally psyched for the amanzing end!

Thanks to EC for providing an amazing viewing location for last evening's pyrotechnic display. No thanks to MPLS for having a wimpy display of said pyrotechnics. Two thumbs down on the finale. Tell me you didn't check this out!

Epicocity

Yeah - that's right Tuck - I stole your word...

But there is no other way to describe the excitement surrounding my upcoming viewing of Transformers - so epic!

For anyone who is interested - and reads this in time - I believe Tuck, Stace, Mike and I will be making a run to see this tonight at 9:30 - rosedale theatre...see you there.

Whoa...

Thanks Benji for sending me a few photos from the Creature spot Seth shot. This photo is just too awesome for words!

Extreme Dance Party

You know that any night that starts like this is going to be a good one!

Thank you First Ave for having one of the best dance parties in town! My body still hurts from all the crazy dance moves that went down - I might need to borrow the neck brace from Sam.

And yes...that is a bottle of champagne...what else? Don't be a fool - get your behind down to the dance party next weekend, we'll see you around 11.
