Seems like it went well! Everyone knows PJ is the musical equivalent of a rain dance in the Midwest. :-PI've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

Great show, no rain. Paul is eternally youthful, super Beatles' fans are annoying, Target Field needs to figure out the security thing (65 minutes in line to get in), Paul's backing band is really good, and solo Paul/Wings is much more my taste live than anything the Beatles ever did. (Yes, I just said that
Highlights of the night: "Hey Jude" (that singalong at the end is great), "Back In The USSR," and "Blackbird" and a few of his new tunes. Definitely worth it.

so more questions for the Minnesota folks from someone coming into the town for the show.
1 - is the Holiday Inn that is supposedly right across the street from the Xcel Center a good hotel to stay at?
2 - good bars within walking distance of the Xcel Center?
3 - Good area in Minneapolis for Saturday night life? good area with cool bars and food? easy to get cabs to and from St, Paul?
4 - best place to watch NFL football on sunday afternoon?0 -
Lots of places will gave games on. Again, just about any of the bars on West 7th will have games on. Not sure which ones have NFL Sunday Ticket, but my experience is most bars do nowadays.pjhawks said:so more questions for the Minnesota folks from someone coming into the town for the show.
1 - is the Holiday Inn that is supposedly right across the street from the Xcel Center a good hotel to stay at? --haven't stayed there since the State High School tournament, like, 15 years ago and it's been renovated since. It'll be good because of it's location.
2 - good bars within walking distance of the Xcel Center?
Yes, see below. Pub crawl being planned for Saturday night.
3 - Good area in Minneapolis for Saturday night life? good area with cool bars and food? easy to get cabs to and from St, Paul? Minneapolis has lots of good night life spots (NE MPLS, Uptown etc, but again, there will be a pub crawl Saturday night, starting at one end of west 7th (near the X) and ending at Amsterdam Bar (location of preparty on Sunday).
4 - best place to watch NFL football on sunday afternoon?
Hope that helps.

any particular team you are a fan of? Alary's in downtown St. Paul (long walk from Holiday Inn, but doable) is a Bears bar on Sunday afternoons and there is excellent eye candy for staff. But yes, there will be plenty of other bars on W. 7th that should have all the games too. If you are planning on going to Minneapolis at any point, there is a train (Green Line) that runs between the two cities that will get you there and back in about 45 minutes each way.Chicago - 6/29/98
