    Air freshener related cop story:
    One night I got pulled over on my way home from a friends house. I had a headlight out, which my buddy informed me of when I pulled into his driveway earlier that evening. So, the cop comes up to my window (Maryland State Tfc) and gives me the whole "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Of course, I answered honestly and told him I just noticed it earlier that night. Then, of course, since it was late at night he had to ask me if I had been drinking (I hadn't), where I was coming from, where I was going, etc. The typical questions. His last one caught me really off guard though, and he seemed way more concerned about it than what anyone ever should be. "I noticed a smell of cake in your car. Any idea what that might be?" I had a few smart ass answers to give him (I don't know, is cake illegal? Maybe it's the donut on your upper lip., etc.) but I just kept my mouth shut and looked at him like wtf? And he just stood there like he was waiting on me to answer. All I could think was I had a fairly new vanilla air freshener, so I told him it was probably that. He said "Yeah, could be I suppose" then went back to the car to write my work order. To this very day, I have no idea why he was so concerned about cake smell.

    He was thinking you were covering up the smell of something with an air freshener...

    That's the only thing I can think of... maybe he thought I was trying to mask weed odor. Or maybe he just wanted to ask another arbitrary question to get me to talk more & try to notice alcohol on my breath. He would've been 0 for 2 and I still think it was just weird.

    I have Vanilla scented Ozium in my car...works pretty well.

    Once got pulled over by a cop in high school who should have smelled the alcohol emanating from me & my friends in the car. I went to school with his son and asked him about it the next day. He said his dad used to work in a shop painting cars. It destroyed his sense of smell, and I lived to fight another day.

    I never want to see that happen...

    Now if the alternative is that PJ would never play MN again unless it was a State Fair gig, then sure...but I can't see them EVER playing the Grandstand.

    The State Fair is reserved for "has-beens" trying to hold on to relevance (see Kid Rock, Toby Keith, Linkin Park) or nostalgic performances (aretha franklin, journey).

    I will probably take a lot of heat for that opinion...but I just see PJ having a solid enough fan base that they will be able to play arenas until they decide to quit playing

    Agree completely. I hope I never see PJ at the Grand Stand. Only acts of a certain status headline shows at Fairs, casinos... that status is "has-beens who once had some hits, but wouldn't have enough draw for their own shows."

    Keep touring forever PJ. Don't play shows that my grandma would go to.

    Maybe Eddie can scale some of the rides circa 1992. Imagine porch being sung from the top of a Ferris wheel. Hahaha.

    with that said, photoshop suggestions are welcome. :-P

    I think the Minnesota State Fair GrandStand is a little different from the Osseo county stampede

    If you're playing a fair, you're playing a fair. There's a certain assumption that any band you'll see at a fair is fairly past it's prime and fairly washed up. This may not be a fair assumption for all acts, but the fair is typically an affair known for bringing former "hottest" artists of the past. I think you'd fare better at a touring artist's club/stadium show. I also think PJ has much more credibility than any act that is playing the fair - fair and square.

    If you need a reason to go the fair, I'd stick with the fried foods and other fare.

    i saw aretha franklin at the fair last night, which i enjoyed quite a bit. despite that, i think the fair has been pretty good about bringing in less-than-washed up acts. in the last few years they've had wiz khalifa, macklemore, the minnesota music-on-a-stick, shitty country guys like toby keith and tim mcgraw (who can still sell out stadiums)... even the list this year isn't all old fogies holding on to nostalgia. it's certainly much better in terms of quality acts than it was only 5-10 years ago.

    Yea linkin park and kid rock can easily sell out an arena and they're at the fair. With that said, please don't ever play the fair, PJ.

    Ten Club dining area!

    Listening to the 6/28/14 bootleg now. Great, great show. Mike's solo on LB is about the longest I've heard on the boots (song is 5:40 long). I wish they would jam that solo outtro out to seven plus minutes - ahem, St. Paul show. :-)
