Ok Ok I'll blog again... gesh, for the people emailing about my blog and nothing being written, get off my back already. So last night I went to the Bon Jovi concert and the Palace.
Good show but the tickets where the worst seats
I've ever had and I've seen a few concerts in my time (the price was right for these tickets). Nose bleeds were happening all around me! Aija got vertigo up there as it looks like you'll fall straight down to the ants on the floor. I'm so glad that Big Screens are in vogue for concerts because the band was pretty small down there. It was a good concert
Saturday it was a twins game with a beer, pop and dome dog all for free. Hung out with family on Sunday and then flew back Sunday night. Other than that not a lot new... looking forward to meeting the band Live on the 24Th. Should be a good concert with Live/Collective Soul/Blues traveler all playing on one night at Meadow brook. I got to meet Live last year and they were pretty cool back stage. Other than that I hope to blog about Sake my black cat and have some pics on here soon.

I needed to head to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester for my annual Kidney Transplant checkup on that Wednesday. It is now 9 years with a clean bill of health thanks to my sister's kidney inside me. Thursday thru Sunday I heade
d to the downtown Marriott City Center in Minneapolis for a radio convention called the Upper Midwest Conclave Convention. I'm glad that the Marriott spent 28 million to update the place as it was getting a little 80's casino looking. Now as you can see in the pic, the room's look 
pretty nice. For the convention, day's started at 8am and went thru 6:30pm and usually a cocktail party for a couple of hours after that. Got to meet Rick Dee's ( radio celebrity,Pic on left) and I know not a big deal but he is a legend... after all he did have a number one song with Disco Duck! I pretty much hung out with my old, and I do mean old placement director for Brown Institute. Now it's Brown College and he is a professor so it's changed a little since I went there 19 years ago. We got to party Friday night in the chambers Hotel in their 5th floor bar http://www.chambersminneapolis.com/. This place is nice if you have never been there in downtown Minneapolis. 
This is the front lobby when you walk in and from there it was upstairs in the elevator to the patio type bar.
RCA Records was one of the sponsors and my local rep just happened to be there so my drinks were taken care of as was every one which is good when they are about 10 bucks a pop. Below is the patio bar the wraps around the 5th floor, about half of the floor and then inside too.
