Had some red velvet cake for dinner this evening, in uptown Minneapolis. We got 2 more statue pictures, had hoped for a third but the restaurant was closed for the holiday weekend. So now we're up to 106. Went to the St. Paul Saints playoff game, they lost to Winnipeg 5-2. The series is now tied 2-2, game 5 decides it on Monday. Horse ride in downtown Minneapolis was nice, after the game. The horse's name was Marty, it was a 30-minute tour that began at a hotel and went through a park. I got a few pictures and the ride operator was knowledgeable about the area's history.
The cake was at a restaurant called the Fusion, little did we know what would be happening there. After arriving we heard people talking about the Kardashians, and a camera crew did show up. I had heard of the reality show 'Keeping up with the 'Kardashians' but haven't watched it as I don't have cable TV. Some stayed in hopes of catching a glimpse, the crew did ask for patrons to sign a contract as the cameras were expected to move around. But it was already getting kind of late, so we didn't stay around for long after we were done eating. Didn't like how we had to ask for the check more than once before getting it, almost like taking care of famous people became way more important.
With the Saints game I saw a sparse crowd as expected, since playoff games are not scheduled that far in advance. But I had hoped to see a favorite promotion, 'What's in the Bag?' by Cub Foods, and didn't. It was a reminder of how things can be different at playoff games. But it was nice how we did arrive much earlier than we did for the same opponent last month, so we could hear the Canadian national anthem.
