I was a performer at a show in Minneapolis tonight, and one performer after me played a banjo and harmonica. I like these 'lab shows', doing some entirely new material. I did a set about the differences between the 2 Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. It seemed to go well despite minimal rehearsal. There was also a big 'pat on the back' session onstage at the end of the show. I had hoped to get a small Godfather's pizza at Bobby and Steve's but there was just the hot ones, which cost more. I still got a can of watermelon juice and a Nature Valley bar.
I had a colleague tell me they were willing to pick up the silent auction item that I had the winning bid, some baseball game tickets for next month. She said she would be going to the event in Eden Prairie, while I did not. It was nice that they were willing to offer. I have been there before, but it can be a long drive and it would likely mean having to make up more time- something I already did this week due to leaving early yesterday. Still trying to get a full bridge walk in at midday, but I did a partial one today. Liked seeing the artwork built into a city/county building, as I recall it depicted what made the city great- things like law and order, education, abundance, transportation, and commerce. Likely another thing I need to get pictures of, already did this at a park nearby where there's a repeating pattern including the man known as 'Pig's Eye'. This was the city's original name before becoming St. Paul.
Yahoo News tells me that Gore Vidal has died, I think of how he was known for writing history books like 'Lincoln' which became a TV-movie. Mary Tyler Moore played Mary Todd, Lincoln's wife, in it. I'm not sure if he was a member of the American Historical Association, as I am a member. It would make sense if he was, but it's hard to say if he would want to attend the annual meetings I've been to as he would probably get mobbed.
