fujifilm event

 i was double booked for the day, but the second event will stand out. first was the Czech and Slovak festival close to downtown St. Paul. i got a free can of grape slice, hadn't seen this brand of soft drink in a while. i also got what looked like bratwurst as well as a muffin. and i signed up for a dinner that will be held at the same venue a month from now. i really enjoyed the Fujifilm event, held at the walker art museum in Minneapolis. i had put the email invite aside but didn't delete it on Thursday, then registered a day later. i said i don't get invited to invites like this too often. it was due to being on their mailing list after buying a fuji camera from a best buy more than four years ago. when i tried to do a 'check and clean' i was told my camera was not eligible as it is an obsolete model, no longer sold. i did take plenty of pictures while there on this camera and tried some of those on display as well. and there were the souvenirs. one was a polaroid-type photo, two separate images. one of me, the other of the nearby skyline. a metal cup i drank out of, a 'dirty soda bar', i chose a drink with a cherry in it, a non-alcoholic mixed drink. and the purple ticket i was given upon arrival was good for swag, i chose a keychain that was a roll of film and decided it will become another Christmas tree ornament. i did watch some of the pro football game on TV when i got home, chiefs won big over the ravens. the Sunday night game ended in a tie, packers pla6ing the cowboys, i was watching it and fell asleep and it had just ended when i woke up. then i did the dishes.
