4. September, 2003 - baseball and music
- Yesterday my allergies knocked me flat most of the day. There was about a 20mph wind, and it stirred up all kinds of stuff I’m allergic to. After going out for lunch, I came home and tried to work at the computer, and when I wasn’t sneezing, I was so tired that I’m pretty sure I dozed off at the computer a few times. Ugh. As it was, between the allergies and a MHNA executive committee meeting at 3pm, it was a completely lost afternoon.
- Saints miss chances in 4-2 loss. Jason Von Haefen gave up all four in the second (he’s had trouble in the second inning before) and while the saints had plenty of baserunners, they didn’t get ’em across the plate, stranding ten, five of those in scoring position. Now the boys are off to Winnipeg where they need to win two of three, so it doesn’t look good, but the Saints were in the same spot in 1995 and prevailed. I still haven’t decided if I’m going to drive up to Winnipeg for the games this weekend. Have to see how I do on the work today.
- Council comes loaded for bear, turning down the Hamm’s Bear statue. The group can still put it somewhere in St. Paul, just not in Como Park.
- Big CD price cut on way as Universal Music Group says they’re going to drop the standard CD pricing to $12.98. If the price cut trickles into used CDs and they start going for about seven bucks, maybe this will give me a reason to buy more music again. Of course they’ll have to put out something that isn’t crap, too…
- First Love is a long article about First Avenue in the City Pages. If you’re at all into the Minneapolis music scene, there’s probably something in here that will interest you.
