“It’s ‘Go Time”

June 30th, 2004

Minneapolis, MN to Fargo, ND

(STA) Outta Minnie, heading to Fargo. Had the largest Bloody Mary ever yesterday. Last night was a pretty rockin’ good time, despite the majority of it being spent around the MPLS yuppie set. I think I may have approached intoxication while drinking only Pimm’s cups, something heretofore unheard of. It very well may have been the gimlet at the end that pushed me toward the precipice. Had a nice dinner at Zelo with RV crew plus Alex, Veronica, Heather and special appearance by Kosel the Youngest. We were sadly denied entry to Nye’s Polonaise by an “Under Repair” sign, so we went back to the Monte Carlo in hopes of a repeated Matt Dillon sighting. That endeavor was unsuccessful, but most of the crew managed to maintain their spirits with spirits. Thanks again to Heather for the hospitality.

(GK) – We are currently in Fargo, waking up from a late night of Pitch (cards) and martinis. Four free tix to the FM Redhawks game, found us in the ninth row for nine innings. We split after regulation but discovered later the game ran another two hours and into 15 innings. Saw two thirds of the Rose family last night and got the scoop on the Fargo scene. We promptly went to Duffy’s and got carded by Billy the 21-year-old bartender. We were scheduled to golf this morning but the late nights have taken its toll on some of our older members. Thanks again to Heather and Alex for going out in Minneapolis despite your busy schedules…
