I used to manage a repertory theatre in Minneapolis, in the early 80s, before there was a VCR in every room of every house. We'd run doubleheaders of classic films for 2 or 3 days (Casablanca and Maltese Falcon, Victor Victoria and The Bird Cage, War of The Worlds and Forbidden Planet, etc), then I'd take the movies down to the Amtrak station, drop them off, and pick up the canisters for the next doubleheader. Really fun job, if you're a 25- year old kid who loves movies.

Except fpr Friday and Saturday night. Because that was when we ran Rocky Horror at midnight.

I guess it was kind if of fun, because the kids were wild about it, and there was a lot of excited energy. But I have to say, it did kind of wear on me.

You know that scene where everyone throws rice? We remodeled the whole theatre one month, and when they removed some of the light fixtures, there was rice inside of the sealed lights. How the hell those little barbarians managed to get rice inside of sealed units, screwed down firmly, I'll never figure out.
Is that dinner theater in Chanhassen still there?

"I Do I Do" ran for an incredible 22 years! The total attendance was greater than the entire population of Minneapolis and St. Paul, 570 people at a time.

Jeez, that Brewers game today.... first time since expansion (64 years) that any team has stolen 6 bases in one innning. And 9 in the game (all in the first 4 innings)? They're all going to have pulled hamstrings. Those records are going to stand a long, long time.

I hope the Packers do not read that. Six long TDs in a game could mean pulled hammies.

I went to Detroit this weekend and took in 2 games between the Tigers and Cleveland. Was fortunate to see Tarik Skubal pitch yesterday, what a performance. He pitched a 2 hit complete game, 94 pitches, 13 K's no walks, hit one batter. Of the 94 pitches, 72 were strikes, and his last pitch of the game was clocked at 102.6mph... unreal! These were our seats for that game.

My friend and I splurged on the great seats, and to see the reigning AL Cy Young winner give the hometown crowd a performance like that... man it was electric. There were over 37000 people who attended both Saturday night and Sunday games.

Crew kinda broke some windows in Minneapolis last night. Misiorowski pitched a perfect game into the 7th before his cramping set in again - starts his major league career with 11 no hit innings. That will be something to bore the grand-kids with later on, huh?

...and Yelich ... 8 RBI ... TFG ....
