The last 3 years I have been a part of a high risk/high reward Fantasy Football League. Initially, it started as 16 teams at $500 a team … pretty steep, but when first place takes home 4k, certainly a worthy investment for the professional gambler and genius sports mind (both of which I am not). However, [...]

This picture-card is outdated … this year, we are lucky to get a 3% raise. Enjoy the 1-1.5% that is the average increase for FY10. Thanks to Ingie for sending it this way. Woo hoo …

Starwood came out with 2 new promotions this week for the business traveler. The first one is that all platinum preferred members get 1 free concert ticket to any show per stay during the month of August. Awesome! I don’t become Platinum until next week (as you can see in today’s picture, I got DENIED!), [...]

Quite impressively, this has already been an interesting birthday to remember! My team out here in Alexandria has been awesome to help me celebrate my first birthday away from Minnesota, what a fun group of corporate/government peeps. Ingrid started it off last night, forcing me to wear a baloon on my shoe (sorry it flew [...]

Well, the empty space across from Stella’s in Uptown finally has a new owner. Last week Cowboy Slims’s opened up and a few of us went to go check it out. If you haven’t made it there yet, I highly recommend stopping in for happy hour tonight or for a drink this weekend. I know [...]

I appreciate all of you who kept their mouths closed or comments clean, and especially those of you who pretended not to be associated with me at all. Next week I fly out to Washington DC [...]

Ten short years ago, Private Tatarek joined the ranks of millions before by reciting the Oath of Enlistment to the US Armed Forces… After the terrible events of the original tour of duty, the budget has been slashed by the government. Under the orders of a CIA director, a gang of mercenaries take control of [...]

Sure Bootleggers is a bar named after the events surrounding The Noble Experiment, but only one tavern really represents the thematic Volstead Act best (and subject of today’s blog) … my new favorite beverage vendor in Minneapolis: Prohibition. Located on the 26th floor of the new W Hotel in the Foshay Tower of downtown Minneapolis, [...]

So I am back from Vegas and trying to fit back in to the normal world again … easier said than done! But after 4 days of NCAA basketball, footballs and yards of alcohol, passion pit blackjack, $3 craps, Mystere Cirque du Soleil, it is nice to finally be home again trying to get back [...]

March Madness is upon us and another member of the MBR club is getting married, which means only one thing: Bachelor Party in Vegas. This time tomorrow I’ll be basking in the warmth of the Paris Hotel and Casino to kick off the greatest weekend I will never remember. Since I undoubtedly will be on [...]
