New(ish) blog - Twin Cities Beer & Baseball
Twins Fest or Bust
Those Girls, Twins Sisters & K-Bro wrote nice blogs about being at Twins Fest. Alas, I have not much to wax poetic about. I mean, y’all have met me before…I swear and mock.
Friday evening I braved the frigid temps and met up with Those Girls at the Metrodome. I tried to keep forcing myself to be heartfelt and reminiscent about being at the Twins Fest in The Dome. Here are my thoughts on Twins Fest:
* Those Girls are actually funnier in person than in their blog (I know, it’s hard to believe!)
* I “bought” my first baseball card. I put “bough” in quotation marks because I paid $1 to play a dice game and won a Torii Hunter card. Pretty sweet.
* Bobby Korecky Drinking Game! I just made one up!
* I bought Obama trading cards which Lucy promptly took ownership of.
* We listened to Casilla do an interview in the Diversity Section (which inspired some mocking.) I totally “That’s What She Said-ed” him during the interview (under my breath.)
* We had the World’s Worst Mini Donuts. They really broke my heart.
Non-Baseball but no less important
This is me Fangirling
Eh, I probably won’t be seeing David Cook on his tour but I will be seeing this guy!
I bought tickets to see Joel McHale in Minneapolis! I fangirl Joel McHale and The Soup pretty hardcore.
So, a funny thing happened while I was at the bar (story of my life) – Celebrity Story Ahead!
I am just going to say it out loud… I drank A LOT last night at happy hour. I have a new theory that happy hour(s) shouldn’t last longer than an average work day. I am just saying…
Anyways, during my drunkenness last night one of my peeps received a text message saying that Harrison Ford was drinking in the hotel bar across the street. Of course, I got really excited and wanted to go see Hans Solo but we were drinking and eating and couldn’t be bothered to actually leave our barstools. Conversation flowed about Hans and Calista Flockhart (who we imagined to be the size of our wine goblet stems.) The next text that came from our Hans Solo sighter said that Harrison was in town with his band. Cue shocked expressions.
Hans Solo was in a band? Since when? Why hadn’t I heard that before? I love actors who think they can sing (there’s actually too many to name here.)
I spent the rest of the night obsessing about Hans Solo being so close to me and yet so far. I went to bed (passed out, whatever) last night with thoughts of a singing Hans Solo flying through my head. I imagined his band playing thrasher metal music.
Imagine my surprise this morning when I hungoverly flipped through the entertainment section to see an announcement of Kevin Costner being in town for a tour stop with his band. KEVIN COSTNER! For a brief moment I envisioned seeing Hans Solo at one bar and then hurrying to another to see Robin Hood play. THEN IT HIT ME! During all the drunken text messages wires were crossed. Actually, wires weren’t crossed…some drunken dude couldn’t tell his epic older gentlemen apart and was calling Kevin Costner Harrison Ford. WTF Drunk Dude, WFT? So, I am sad to report that there isn’t a Hans Solo concert tonight; you will have to settle for a Kevin Costner gig.
Kevin Costner & Modern West
This line from the article made me laugh my ass off (lmao, if you will):
Come to see Costner channel his inner John Cougar Mellencamp; stay for the cougars prowling the stage looking to bite off a hunk of Robin Hood.
Seriously, I can’t make this shit up!
In conclusion: My church has a neon sign, the pews are clustered together around a scarred counter top, and the pastor “is quick with a joke or to light up your smoke”.
Also in conclusion: It is never fun to skip, frolic, and twirl into your house late at night after many hours of drinking and find your dear sweet auntie sitting there watching and silently judging you. Oh, also not as funny to wake up so horribly hung-over the next day and the first human interaction you have is Stacy singing Poison’s “Every Rose Has a Thorn”.

Twins Fest Weekend!
Be there or be…square? Nah, let’s be honest: the only reason I am going is to people watch and find the 2009 Minnesota Twins Baseball Spirit.
Headlines
Twins could boast 18 Classic players: Club leads Majors with most players on provisional rosters
(aka: boring headline)
Kubel, Twins reach deal in principal: two-year contract with option for third yet to be confirmed
Who’s on Third? (And no that’s not a lame attempt to start that comedy bit)
No, really? Who is going to be our Third base player?
Third base remains Minnesota mystery

Oh, It’s Those Girls have a nice breakdown of what is happening this weekend at Twinsfest. They’ll help you decide which day you should check it out.
Nick & Nick’s blog is “Charting the Rounds” and breaking down our competition.
K-Bro’s blog is making me giggle with examples of bad grammar in the world of baseball
Kevin Slowey is blogging about his time on the Twins Caravan

New Concerts Announced (of a non-David Cook variety)
Morrissey, Madeleine Peyroux, Neko Case, Gordon Lightfoot and Boyz II Men
Don’t fuck around with cupcakes
I would be really disappointed if someone sent me a cupcake-in-bloom flower arrangement. They really do look like cupcakes but in fact are only just flowers. It would be like serving a bottle of Jack Daniels full of iced-tea: disappointing and unfulfilling and wrong. See what I mean?
I love cupcakes.
Things that make me ever-so-happy
I am sure you have all seen the site with these posters but here are three of my favorite:
ShamWow! I loves me the ShamWow guy!!! The giant headset, Ritalin-needing energy, and general quirkiness.
And I ran…ran so far away…Flock of Seagulls have given us so much!
You got Rick-Rolled bitch!

A break in our regularly scheduled baseball blogging
Last night I went to the AC/DC concert at the Xcel Center in St. Paul. Thanks to It’s Pat! for getting us sweet tickets – row 5 (which was actually the 4th row) two people in from the catwalk. Now, I am an AC/DC fan as much as the next person but seeing them live for the first time ever really struck me as what rock really is all about. A stadium full of people playing air-guitar, singing along, flashing the rock salute and general drunken camaraderie. There was high-fiving of Brian Johnson and sweat spraying from Angus Young. All in all…a classic rock concert.

The schedule is up! Okay, who’s going when?
Non-baseball but no less important
For those about to rock, we salute you
Well, I am about to rock in approximately…7 hours. Tonight I will be heading to see AC/DC with an old co-worker (old as in former, not old as in a billion years old.) Not only am I going to be in the presence of Class Rock Royalty I will be in the 5th row. Yup, I finally scored sweet seats to a rock concert. I had been bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen that the closest I have been in a stadium concert was the American Idol concert. Now, don’t get me wrong...I loved the American Idol concert *cough*DavidCook*cough* but in order to have street-cred I needed a true Rock and Roll experience with floor seats. Tonight, I will be vindicated.
Speaking of David Cook
I don’t know what this says about me but I had a dream (nee, Nightmare) about a conflict of interest. I dreamt that David Cook had a concert in Minneapolis on the same night as the Minnesota Twins Home Opener. I am guessing that 99.9% of my blog readers are going: "What’s the problem? Obviously you would be going to the baseball game. I mean you have a freaking baseball blog.” Whilst, the other 5% scoff at the thought of choosing baseball over David Cook. What would I do?
Although…I do have a grand plan (or an evil plan) in motion to trick all my friends into going to the David Cook concert with me. I would say “Hey, do you want to go see Billy Idol?” They would all go “Yes, for sure. We loves us some Rebel Yell.” Then I would chuckle inside my head. When they realize that they are at a David Cook concert I would go “Booyah! I punked you Son! Ya’ll can suck it with your David Cook hatin’!” Yeah I think I carried it too far, even in my head. By the way, my friends are probably a lot smarter than I give them credit for so they would double check all facts before agreeing to go. Commie bastards.

Non-baseball but no less important
In a few days…
I will be at the Xcel Center listening to pure rock and roll. AC/DC will be in Minneapolis (well, actually St. Paul but let’s just overlook that fact) and I will be in the fifth row. I am going with a former co-worker who I don’t think is prepared for the fangirling that will entail.
Little Honey
I am slowly making my way through Lucinda William’s album “Little Honey.” I think she may be one of the most underappreciated guitar players. I have listened through the album a few times and the songs that really stick out are “Real Love”, “Honey Bee”, and her cover of AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top.”
Purple rain, purple rain
Prince has a new website launched: http://www.lotusflow3r.com. Star Tribune is reporting that is the name of one of his three new albums. (One of those albums is rumored to be called MPLSound, recorded at his Paisley Park Studio here in Minnesota.) This site has three tracks up including a cover of “Crimson and Clover. Check it out.
This is American Idol
Let’s just get this disclaimer out of the way right now:
Hello, my name is Jen and I will be watching American Idol this season. I understand that in the past I never watched or blogged about it so this may be a little disturbing. Be prepared for snark/swearing/drinking/half-assed recaps.
·The whole household was sucked into American Idol last night.
·I gotta say I like Kara (the new judge). I was prepared to not like her but...she's funny, sassy and fights back. You go girl! *Snap!*
·I thought and said some very bad things about the blind guy. I already know I am going to hell so I feel like I don’t have to check my tact at the door.
·I don’t think Lucy understands that there are bad singers out there. I feel like American Idol will help her with that.
·I like Simon when he rolls his eyes.
·Paula’s sunglasses/reading glasses towards the end of the show made my heart hurt.
·It looked a lot warmer in AZ then in Minnesota.
·That “geek” towards the end was fun to watch. His voice was good, not jazz hands fantastic, but good. I like that he intelligently argued back with Simon. I bet we’ll never see him again.
Okay, that’s all I got. Now I must go face my co-workers who opted to watch the new 90210 instead of Idol.
My friends love me and sometimes they listen when I fangirl
Exhibit A:
I received a text message from Ames last night. Now, Ames has to listen to me go “Oh, I love David Cook, he’s awesome.” “Listen to this song.” “Okay, now listen to this song. Wow! Huh?” “I changed your ringtone to Bar-ba-sol now. I like it better than your old Led Zep one.” “Sorry, I didn’t pick up the phone right away because I love your ringtone.” Yeah, poor Ames!
So, she sent me this text last night:
E News just reported that David Cook just broke up with that other idol chick. I am sure you knew but I thought I’d let you know just in case.
Exhibit B:
Another friend (a misinformed one) sent me a text saying:
Dude, that the American Idol guy u love has a song on the new 90210.
After a moment I got another one:
Never mind, it was that little guy that got silver on the show. His song makes me want to be a better person.
I replied:
You mean that facetiously right? You mean his song makes you want to go pick up guys and hold hands.
Their reply made me blush.

Carl Pohlad 1915 - 2009
Now, we may not all have agreed with the way he ran our team but he was still the man behind the Minnesota Twins. Besides owning the Twins he did a lot of great things for the community. This news really hit my radar when I was at happy hour. Unfortunately no one in the Monday Night Happy Hour Crew follows baseball so I had to “phone a friend” (or in this case, text a friend.) Katie from Oh, It’s THOSE Girls and I exchanged a series of texts about this. (This included discussing the tribute video music for the Home-Opener. I suggested LL Cool J but after perusing through his track list I wasn’t able to find anything appropriate.)
Also, how the heck did I miss the hype around Twinsfest. I think I will stop by again this year. I just really enjoy the people watching. Anyone else out there going? Maybe a meet up? Pre-fest beer, during-fest beer, post-fest beer?

Welcome to the 2009 season of baseball
Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot happening right now but just you wait…just you wait.

2009, you are already a sassy bitch!
I celebrated New Year’s four times on December 31.
First time I shouted out Happy New Year was at 10:00 a.m. and I was in my cubicle. I was texting with Val from the Philippines and it was midnight her time. So, V, you were my first New Year’s celebration.
Second time was 9:00 p.m. when I celebrated with Lucy. I mean, shit, she’s 3 years old. You think the girl could make it until midnight. Whatever, quitters never win! :P
Third time was at 11:00 p.m. when Anderson Cooper wished me a happy new year from a stage “high above the streets” of NYC. Mmm…I’ll take an Andy Cooper New Year shout-out any day. Yes, the Silver Fox makes my heart go pitter-patter.
Finally, I waited until it was my own damn timezone and Stacy and I half-heartedly whooped HAPPY NEW YEAR! (We didn’t want to wake Lucy and well, let’s be honest…after the third time it lost a little of the glamour.)
Here are my thoughts whilst flipping between all the channels counting down:
* Ryan Seacrest is still dreamy even in a puffy jacket
* Every time Kelly Pickler spoke my left eye twitched
* Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin are probably the coolest people to hang out with on New Year’s
* Scott Weiland owns my soul. I may have even yelled to him (“him” being a pre-recorded concert on my tv) “See you in a month!” (‘cause, I will be.)
* David fucking Cook ended my New Year’s right. I enjoy how all my co-workers send me messages on Facebook saying “Ooooh, your Idol is on my tv.” Yeah, I got it. You don’t think I am prepared for this? Didn’t * you get my inner-office memo?
* The David Puddy hockey episode was on Seinfeld last night. Suhweet.
I Twittered my evening of TV mockery in case you are interested
Please realize I was tagged as the person/evil warlock person circled in red. Vegan Joe of course is the hero in yellow. I responded to his tag with:
OMG! I can’t believe you tagged me as the guy dying! You KNOW how I feel about natural bodies of water!
So Joe, it is GAME ON!
Randomly Random
Come on! How can my first blog of the New Year not include a picture of David Cook? To those who are rolling your eyes (and I can name 10 of you right now) SHUT IT! I got a funny story about this. So, the guy in the background (about half of you were like “What guy? All I see if freaking David Cook”) is a Target Center Security Staff Employee. I can’t remember his name. He told me and I did an “Oh, yeah, that’s great, what’s that shiny thing over there?” sort of half-ass pay attention move. Anyways, he spent most of the time on his cell phone arguing with his Baby’s Mama about how they both cheated so that should cancel out everything. In fact, at one point he said “You cheated with my friend and that is worse than me cheating with a random girl.” You know, that argument probably wouldn’t hold up in court.
So, here is Cheaty McCheatertons and David Cook in Minneapolis (not my photo but still a good photo.)

(which I don’t blame you if you aren’t.) Here are some of the highlights:

Vegan Joe has thrown the first punch
If any of you are friends with me on Facebook you may have noticed I was recently tagged in a photo by Vegan Joe. THIS PHOTO!
Please realize I was tagged as the person/evil warlock person circled in red. Vegan Joe of course is the hero in yellow. I responded to his tag with:
OMG! I can’t believe you tagged me as the guy dying! You KNOW how I feel about natural bodies of water!
So Joe, it is GAME ON!
Randomly Random
Come on! How can my first blog of the New Year not include a picture of David Cook? To those who are rolling your eyes (and I can name 10 of you right now) SHUT IT! I got a funny story about this. So, the guy in the background (about half of you were like “What guy? All I see if freaking David Cook”) is a Target Center Security Staff Employee. I can’t remember his name. He told me and I did an “Oh, yeah, that’s great, what’s that shiny thing over there?” sort of half-ass pay attention move. Anyways, he spent most of the time on his cell phone arguing with his Baby’s Mama about how they both cheated so that should cancel out everything. In fact, at one point he said “You cheated with my friend and that is worse than me cheating with a random girl.” You know, that argument probably wouldn’t hold up in court.
So, here is Cheaty McCheatertons and David Cook in Minneapolis (not my photo but still a good photo.)
Music of the Day
Who’s it going to be? Huh? Can you feel it? Can you guess?
Drumroll, please…
David Cook – Bar-Ba-Sol
I KNOW! I am sorry! For christs sake get off my freaking back already! I can’t NOT post this song! This song is the one that all you non-David Cook fans like (*cough*Eric*cough*)
