  1. Headed to Minneapolis next month for an anniversary trip. Few days in the city, a few up north at Grand Marais doing outdoorsy shit.

    In Minneapolis we already have reservations for
    Spoon and Stable
    Popol Vuh
    Volestead’s Emporium - anyone ever been here? It’s an old fashioned speakeasy.

    Hitting the Twins for sure.
    Betty Danger’s Country Club.
    Matt’s for a juicy Lucy.
    Doing the Mill City Farmers Market and probably the museum.
    Rooftop bar at Hewing Hotel.

    Taking a day trip up to Duluth for a dinner on an old school train - something we did on our honeymoon too.

    Any other major recs?

  2. I fucking loathe parents who act like petulant assholes towards youth sports / teenage umpires. It’s a fucking child’s game. Get a grip.

    Recently had an opposing coach (9yo kid pitch) berate a teenage umpire and then leave, trying to take his son (the pitcher) with him. Kid stayed. Dad tried to come back later. Teenage ump asked me what to do. I told him this was his field and if he didn’t want the guy back to tell him to gtfo. Which is exactly what he did.

  3. Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  4. If you’re watching at home, here’s what I’d do: sync up your tv (muted) with the radio broadcast. It’s infinitely better than the tv guys. And my friend is the broadcaster in turn 3. Born and bred Indy and his passion (as well as all the radio commenters) carries over. They just do a fantastic job.

  5. Fucking clown show.

    My buddy who works for Indycar Radio said Alonso was very chill, collected, and honest with himself after getting bumped. Stayed and signed autographs. Did some interviews. He will be back.

    Got my ticket yesterday - paddock penthouse. The section stuck on top of the grandstands. Outside of home stretch - quarter mile short from the pagoda. Can see the chute for turn 4 and 1 and even catch glimpses of the cars on the backstretch.

    i'm really amazed at how flip resistant these cars are

    I am terrified with how many side-crashes have ended up with cars airborne.  Yes, they all came back down on the proper way, but I think that's just luck.  One of these gets up into the catch-fence it could get ugly.

  7. McLaren giving Alonso problems in practice today. Heard he had a couple equipment failures. Could be a rough month for him was like 34th in speed today in the limited practice he had.

  8. Castroneves already up to 228 today.  Can't wait to be out at the track for Fast Friday this week.

    That is in the first hour of practice.  Without boost.  And last year's pole speed was 229
