Solid GoldThis is going on right now, and the local Twin Cities twitter folks are currently reporting that Prince has enetered the holy ground of First Avenue. There have been rumours out today that Prince would be a surprise performer at the show tonight, and now numerous sightings of the purple one are all over my twitter dash.
Huh.
Prince is at First Avenue tonight and I just got done watching American Dad.

Fire Destroys Historic Restaurant
A restaurant that has been a Hugo landmark for more than 100 years is considered a total loss after a fire Sunday morning.The fire started at Carpenter’s Steak House on Forest Boulevard around 9:30 a.m. Sunday, destroying the 119-year-old business.
Local say the restaurant was “Old Minnesota” at its best. “Carpenter’s has had an historic presence for a long, long time,” said Hugo Mayor Fran Miron.
We were driving into Hugo late this morning to visit friends and could see a huge plume of smoke fill the air from an area off Hwy 61. I even said to my wife “Uh-Oh, that looks like it’s coming from Carpenter’s”. Sure enough we got to our destination and word was already out that it was Carpenter’s that was on fire. From talking to our friends who all live in Hugo, the building was slated to be torn down sometime soon as part of a redevelopment project along that part of 61.
I will say I am pretty sad to see this happen. Carpenter’s was known for their steaks, and we have eaten there a handful of times over the years, and the food was always very good. Hopefully we will find out soon if they will be able to rebuild.

A storm likely to hit on Wednesday could make this “the snowiest Christmas … in 30 years” - and be a pain for last-minute travelers.
A large winter storm with the potential to dump a foot or more of snow is grinding its way toward Minnesota, and its arrival is likely to mess up travel plans, complicate last-minute errands and ensure a very white Christmas.
“This is major,” said James McQuirter, meteorologist at the Twin Cities office of the National Weather Service. “It might not get out of here until Saturday.”
The heaviest snowfall, 12 to 20 inches, likely will fall in a swath from Minneapolis to the Iowa border and west to the South Dakota border
Bah Humbug!
Apologies for the inactivity and lameness that is this blog. All I do lately is reblog- and there’s hardly any of that. I’ve been swamped with homework, and other stuff… ugh.
