Creeping Charlie at Lake Harriet Bandshell (August 29, 2025)

There was a subdued atmosphere at Lake Harriet on Friday night as most people had either left for their cabins for the long holiday weekend or took advantage of another great day of weather by surrounding themselves with two hundred thousand neighbors at the Minnesota State Fair. At least that’s how it felt as a cool breeze came off the lake and The Commodore’s “Easy” played through the main speakers.

Monday was Senior’s Day at the Minnesota State Fair, and there was no better band (Los Lobos) to play for this demographic than a group of guys that have been together for over fifty years. But that was later and there was still much to do.

Sunflower Bean at 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis (June 17, 2025)

After a very pleasant dinner with work colleagues, I got a slightly late start to head over to the show. And while I was at no risk of being late for seeing Sunflower Bean, I found myself completely locked in on getting over to the 7th Street Entry to get prepared for the evening.
