Lollapalooza 2006

3 Days, 8 Stages, & 130 Bands

I know that Tom, Nicole, and Mark are planning on coming, but if anyone else is down then email or call me to let me know. Krissy and I have a lot of space in our new apartment, so everyone can stay with us instead of getting a hotel. Its in Grant Park this year (downtown) and it should be the shit. Anyone who is interested can check out the bands and buy tickets at the link above.

The concert starts Friday (8/4 ) and goes thru Sunday (8/6). Single day passes are going for $60.00, but the daily concert line-ups have not yet been released. 3 -Day passes just went up to $140.00, but after service charges and shipping they total $160.00. Boland and I agreed that it would probably be best to pick one day (with the best line-up) out of the three - instead of doing the whole weekend. This will obviously save a lot of $$ and the rest of the weekend can be spent getting stupid in other parts of Chi.

Hope to see you all here in August.

Go Sox.

Not sure if anyone saw this on Sat. night, but I was watching this live on OLN with my brother when it happened. Wow. It's a legit hit too.



Hit the small play button in the bottom left hand corner to watch it here, instead of at you tube.

Playoff hockey rules. So does the Gopher Football team, which is definitely climbing the ranks of the local teams around here in my book. The new stadium is close, and now they're trying to keep dirty Iowans out. Next up, get the Sconie bastards out of here and give Caspian James a call. I hear he's the real deal.

Twins looked solid this weekend. About as solid as my poop on a Saturday afternoon after a Friday spent at Hollihan's. The White Sox are clearly the better team. I don't want to hear about luck or that it's early. We'll end the season stiff-arming the Royals for 4th in the division at this rate.

Not sure how to link to it - but there is a link on the MLB website of Julio Franco becoming the oldest major leaguer to hit a home run - albeit a pansy one. I blame steroids.

On a similar but unrelated note - I have 4 years of NCAA athletic eligibility left - and plan on becoming the oldest starting quarterback in MN Gophers history - I'm just waiting for Cupito to graduate and the new stadium to get built - I don't want to play in the Metrodome - it isn't a classy enough venue to really showcase my talents (superb arm strength, extraordinary mental capacity, legendary poise and leadership, a 3.9 40 yd dash, 48 inch standing vert, and disproportionate freakish strength in the weight room).

Sign up now if you are going to want tickets to come see me play - I'm sure when the new stadium is built - they won't be as easy to come by as they are now. Also - make note of 2014 - which is when I will be flying to New York to participate in the NFL Draft Day Extravaganza - but I will refuse to play for the Chargers.

Mullets make my list of all time funniest things. Also on the list are midgets, face eating tumors, and prostetic penises made from fingers (look it up).

I'm not entirely sure why I just shouldn't quit life, because I suck at it.

My idea of making Duke Lacrosse merchandise has been usurped by smarter, faster, better looking, more ambitious, cooler, better smelling and more competent people than myself. I was too busy shooting a 113 at the golf course to do anything about it.

Let's get serious and talk about global politics.

It's late...I'll get some real blogging at some point

God bless the internet, part 2.

Game 6, 1986, RBI Baseball-style

What celebrity's face is most similar to mine? Check it.

Try it out. I tried one with teeblah's pic on his profile but it couldn't read it well, or he looks like a chick.

What do World Relations and "The OC" have in common?

Read this and find out. It's good. Especially if you're a fan of the series.



Also, regarding Toronto pitcher Theodore Roosevelt Lilly (yes, that's his full name) and the nickname "The Prince of Norway."--I'm not sure where this came from. Apparently Mnraul thinks I started it, and I think that Mnraul started it.

So let's get into it. First, who is the actual Prince of Norway? Why, that would be Haakon Magnus, the son of Harald and Sonja. It is also a drink, albeit a bit girly. The fact is there is no mention of Ted Lilly ever being called "the Prince of Norway" on google.

Lilly is 6-1, 190 pounds, where I would imagine the Prince of Norway to be a small, spritely fellow. Lilly has dark hair and some facial stuff going on as well, where I would imagine the Prince to be of fair complexion with blue eyes and flaxen hair. I don't believe that I would have given him this name, although it's a pretty cool nickname. Gone are the days of cool nicknames for players. Now we have "A-Rod", "K-Rod", "Morneau for four" (actually, that's a good one too.), "J-Roll", and more first letter-first syllable combinations. Back in the day that had cool nicknames. Dave "the Cobra" Parker, "The Splendid Splinter", "The Sultan of Swat, "The Georgia Peach", "Charlie Hustle", "The Yankee Clipper", and the "Mad Hungarian" to name a few. I believe that "The Prince of Norway" is harkening us back to those days, and bravo to me, or Mnraul, or whomever came up with it. Bravo.

God bless the internet.
