1. I've got two tickets to the game tonight that I can't use. Section 116, row 15, right behind home plate. If anyone wants them, and wants to come to south Minneapolis to pick them up, send me an email: eahnpurato at g mail dot com.

   1. I would be all over that, but the in-laws are flying into town tonight for the new year. On the bright side, they get in late enough they there shouldn't be a long wait at Tilia.

      1. Man, they are going to be in town for a long time. (I know, I know)

         1. I'm sure it will feel that way.

      2. Steven Brown for the win.

         (It's Friday. Bet you still have to wait.)

         1. Harriet Brasserie is right next door. Not quite Tilia but still pretty great with the same great service.

            1. I've been meaning to check that place out.

               (Also, has anyone eaten at the Bachelor Farmer yet?)

               1. I am no foodie, but I ate at the Bachelor Farmer back in June. I thought it was definitely worth a visit. I don't remember what I ate, so I wouldn't say it was spectacular, but I enjoyed the food. The bar downstairs was a nice pre-dinner hangout.

                  1. As much as anything, I want to see what they've done with the space. For five years I lived about a block away from that building. I always thought it looked like it would make a great bar/restaurant/club/etc.

            2. Yes, but Cafe Twenty-Eight was my favorite restaurant in town, so I'm very hesitant to reward its usurper.

               1. Okay, well enjoy your big bowl of pinciple. I will eat delicious burgers.

                  1. If you followed the Spookymilk Survivor games, you would know that I love to stand on ridiculously stupid principles that make no sense to anyone else.

                     1. So true. Will, Will, Will.

   2. We'd be all over it, too, but we got to get ready for our wedding reception tomorrow.

   3. The offer has expired, I found someone to take them.

      1. That is sad that you couldn't find any takers here. That says something about this season.

         1. I would have taken them if I lived in the Twin Cities.

            1. same here

               1. Me three.

                  1. [dido.jpg]

                     1. I also would have taken them if I had known that the dinner party (that I was skipping the game in order to attend) was going to be cancelled.

                        *DEEP, HEAVY SIGH*

                        1. Holy carp. Sorry, man.

                           (Also: Me, six)

                           1. seventhth. i wasn't even in the town i'm normally in where i still wouldn't have been able to come anyway.

                           2. me 8...as in, i was celebrating my 8-year anniverary (a few days early) and couldn't watch baseball. that's the second time i've passed on tix this week.

2. The WGOM could decide this year's preznit election.

   1. I dunno. I want to vote for the Martis, but if others are voting for Omar, I might go that way, because I'd rather he win than those idiots at Magic Hat.

3. Just a small plug since I really like it. The Shield is Amazon's gold box deal of the day. $11.49 per season. It's well worth it.

4. I am two episodes into 'Party Down'. I cant stop laughing.

   1. J & I watched each season in one sitting basically. What a great show.

      1. So basically, you are having fun.

   2. Did it go back on Netflix streaming? For some reason I stalled around episode eight and haven't seen the rest.

      1. I dont know, I bought both season on DVD

5. An amusing story mixing both LEEEWWWW and one of my buddies from the SBG College of Law.

6. MC and I have pushed back our move date by a week so we can apply for more jobs before we get out east. We haven't really heard much yet.

7. Rene Rivera is mad

   1. Chuck James, Slama, and now Rene Rivera. Team doesn't seem very nice to its steerage class minor-league signings.
      I'm starting to wonder if all baseball does that. IIRC Rivera ≈ Butera > Holm. On one hand, I can see not wanting another Butera on the team; on the other hand, why does Butera get all that playing time above Rivera?

      As an aside, I assume that Herrmann would need to be added to the 40-man this offseason anyway. So no options are burned, but a minor-leaguer for the future gets his first cup, like Ben Revere in 2010.

      1. Adding Herrmann rather than Rivera makes all kinds of sense, but if you don't intend to keep your word, don't give it in the first place.

         1. Of course, none of us knows what was actually said, or who said it.

            1. Probably one of the training/medical staff.
               (Let's blame them for everything!)
