Wow! What a day in Minnesota. I am here with Kara and Wensdy. We left the house (we are staying with Jason and Carissa) at around 9:00 AM and didn't get home until after midnight.
I was on Showcase Minnesota and had a great time with Rob Hudson. He is really super nice and he's a musician too, so the interview was a lot of fun. You can watch it at http://www.showcaseminnesota.com/show/client_article.aspx?storyid=508766.
From the KARE 11 studios, we all went to Target! (We love Target.) We looked for some matching Mydols' outfits for some upcoming gigs.
After that we kind of tooled around downtown Minneapolis and then hooked up with Laurie Lindeen at Monte Carlo's for lunch. Brian Setzer has an office in that building and we were all hoping for a siting. No luck.
Next we went to a studio in St. Paul to do the Lori and Julia Show. These are two sisters-in-law that have a huge talk show during the evening drive. What a hoot those two are. It's always fun when we do an interview and they play some Mydols' music in the background.
From there we met my nephew Erik and some of his law partners on the campus of the University of Minnesota at a pub called Blarney's and took in some of the second hand shops on campus.
Then it was off to uptown to Stella's for dinner with the WHOLE family--Bill, Patty, Erik, Molly, Lisa, Ted, Jason and Carissa and even Laurie Lindeen stopped by with some books (Petal Pushers) for Kara and Wensdy and a CD for me. We're going to do a booking signing in the summer together. The Mydols are going to try to cover a ZuZu's Petals song and Laurie says she'll sing with us.
We got home at around midnight. (I think--it was late anyway.)
