He’s coming to the twin cities! Earlier this week a friend mentioned that he had added a date in St Paul for May 21st. Earlier in the week I still couldn’t buy tickets so I’m hoping I can fix that this weekend. The show is going to be at Station 4 in lowertown. No tag [...]

I’m actually really pretty excited that 7UP is changing their formula again. I thought the change in the mid-90′s to make it taste more like Sprite was a bad idea. Hopefully this will be a better change rather than a worse one. Now if only they would switch back to sugar… No tag for this [...]
