I'd completely forgotten about Control Data until I noticed this from our brunch spot this morning.

An older building with a Control Data advertisement painted on the side

One morning I got off the bus on Huron Avenue and there was a man having a mental breakdown. A woman on her phone was panicking and sobbing saying "please tell them he's harmless, please don't shoot him, please don't kill him." I cried as I walked to work. Sad memory.

And! Soul Asylum hadn't released that record yet in 88' maybe this festival inspired them? Who knows?

I just went through as much as I could see, not one ska cassette :( I do really like that Concrete Blonde record though!

And this would be hilarious if it wasn't so freaking spot on.

Haven't watched it yet but I'm excited to see it! Have you seen Atlanta? My son who lives in Atlanta recommended it and I can't believe I'd never watched it before

Watching the first preseason Wolves game and reminiscing about the Trent Tucker Kevin Harlan days. They were my favorite announcers. Wolves are going to have an awesome team this year, super deep bench, two French 🇫🇷🥖🥐

When M. Tomei was filming Factotum with Matt Dillon, my wife and I biked up to them as they were filming by Mill City on River Rd. We got literally ushered off the set! Loved Barfly but Factotum was Terrible

I spent the Summers with my grandparents in Philadelphia and went to Valley Forge Miilitary academy when this was being filmed. I had a fake brick from the scene where the tank rolled through the wall.

The floating kid tapping the window in Salem's Lot. Watched it from the hall outside my parents bedroom, I was nine and they didn't know I was there. Fucked me up.

I've seen three posts about organists today. Here's my annual uncle Robbie appreciation post. He was the organist for the Fighting Saints, the North Stars, and the Minnesota Kicks. I got to sit in that box more than a few times as a kid.

Minnesota Gophers just one for the first time in a very long time against Michigan at home. The Surly Darkness festival is about to blow up. Hopefully they don't burn Dinkytown to the ground.

I read that as "Mexican Sweet Potato Kombucha" and not gonna lie, didn't sound horrible.

Threw my back out, laying on the couch watching the Gophers. Nice thing about watching Minnesota sports is all of the music, Prince, Replacements, Soul Asylum, you get some nice clips going into the commercials.

I see so many great posts about Schooner's now! When I worked late nights at Rainbow and Wendy's as a 15 year old in the mid eighties, I remember being terrified of the clientele.

My craziest Figlio experience was watching a guy come down the sidewalk at like 30 mph on a bicycle and go right through all the tables from the one end all the way up to the entrance of Calhoun Square he must have cleared 15 tables and injured about 30 people it was a freaking massacre.

80 factory workers will lose their job when the Pearson candy factory closes in St. Paul today, that's about 40 more than a data center would employ.

DILLEY DETENTION CENTER NUMBER 2 Call it a “staging facility” all you want. The contract says detention. There’s playground equipment behind the fence. And Dilley has already held children far beyond the roughly 20-day Flores limit. Now they’re building “Dilley 2.” We know what this is!

I remember Williams Pub Uptown had a night in the early nineties where they offered free beer from 5-6pm, then .25 from 6-7pm, then .50 from 7-8pm, and so on... The crowds mixed with the peanut shells and the wait time, It was a living nightmare.

The trailer for that whale movie just gives me too much anxiety. No interest in something like that, just digest the dude real quick would be good enough.

Last night I dreamt my brother and I time traveled back to our childhood neighborhood, 22nd and East 43rd St. It was lucid and nothing bad happened except we couldn't buy anything from Harold's Pharmacy because we only had our cell phones. The golf course didn't exist, it was just a forest.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.
