I found out today Obama will be making a campaign stop here in the Minneapolis area on Tuesday. The rally will be held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, the same location as this years GOP national convention. The rally coincides with the last democratic primary in South Dakota. To make it even more exciting, it seems very likely Senator Obama will claim victory against Hilary Clinton and will mark the end of the democratic primaries. This is actually pretty exciting and I will definitely be attending. This will be the first political rally on this size scale that i’ve attended. Apparently back in February over 20,000 people filled the Target Center in Minneapolis for a similar Obama event.
Of course, I will also be attending the Republican National Convention on September 1st at the same location. I will not be supporting though. Feel free to check out Protest RNC 2008.
More Info: Star Tribune - Obama will appear at Xcel on Tuesday, may claim victory
The Don and Mike Show has now been off the air now for a couple months. The Mike Omeara show now has been on the air for a little over a month. I have listened to every second of the new show and my first impressions are that it is indeed a better show. Mike has always been the one that I believed carried the show. He definitely has always been the funniest one. My lone complaint on the new show is Robb Spewack. There is only so much of his background dribble and “old queen” references that one can take. I think the show would be better off without him, no question. He continues to come across as a “fan” and as someone without his own personality. He tries to act too much like Mike, and it shows. Either way, the show is great and look forward to the future.
The Mike Omeara show is syndicated through WJFK in Washington, DC.
The biggest movie of the year hits the big screen tomorrow. Rumors are running rampid that the editing is so poor in the Sex and The City Moviethat you can actually see boom mics in the top of the frame in some scenes. Could this really be true? How could you really not catch this?!? I’d love to see if this is true. I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow…
And no, I will not be going to see this.
Monday we had some severe storms here in Minnesota. I can’t remember the last time i personally heard a tornado siren. I didn’t hear one this time but under 20 miles from me a tornado hit ground. I was able to grab some photos of the aftermath:
