just before midday i went to see a movie in the MSP film festival, it was 'American dream'. it was a documentary about the strike at the Hormel plant in Austin, Minnesota, in the 1980s. it was originally released in 1990, if i am not mistaken. every so often i said 'yep' in a muted voice, as what was being depicted was sad but true. i was annoyed with the grandstanding that a retired college professor was doing during the Q and A. i had a question answered in the lobby after this was done, by two members in blue jackets that said, 'press corps', who had covered the strike for the star tribune paper. one of them showed the book written about it and said it was available at amazon. this was the final day of the 12-day event. i didn't like the parking in the area, again. tried paying at a meter, street parking, it kept canceling my purchase. then i went to a ramp, and it was all QR codes. i found free street parking, blocks away. i missed some of the presenters but made it before the movie started. i went to Bobby and Steve's for a sandwich and milkshake after the movie. the blender wasn't working that well, only speed working was 'less thick'. the attendant said a tech was called but arrival would be the next day. in the morning i did the laundry and had some coffee at a nearby caribou.
