A while back VikesRule (Mr.

himself) and I got to talking and well sparked an interest in attending a Blues Brothers

show.. well that really is nothing more than a good excuse to shake Nick's hand and share a couple of laughs.

He was going to start a thread inviting others to attend, but I think he might have gotten tied up (or worked up over the Vikings outlook upon the season [aiee] ) and with the date closing in.. figured better give some notice if anyone is interested.

At the moment, unless VR isn't going to attend.. I and my wife are planning on going. Foster I believe is flying in.. and I believe catching a game.

Yell if you think you might want to attend.. we can fill in the details later.

Seriously, put me down as "definitely interested". (assuming this is available for singles rather than just couples) It gives me a chance to skip town on Homecoming weekend.

Are tickets hard to come by? Is there any problem finding motel rooms in Galena that time of year (I doubt I'll be up to driving back the night of the concert).

I believe Foster is catching the Rams vs Packers that weekend.. at least that is what I recall him saying.

Tickets for the show.. that I am unsure of.. being Nick is connected with the entertainers.. I hadn't checked into that detail as of yet.

As far as accommodations.. there were several different choices of stay.. I believe Nick is staying at the Stoney Creek Inn . A month or so ago.. there was plenty of rooms available..

I know my wife would love to do this, the main issue being whether our precarious financial state would allow it.

Sigh,
I was looking forward to this trip. But signs are that the day job plus The Mom mean I'm not going to be able to make the Galena trip after all. I've still got it on my calendar, but it's likely to be a last minute decision -- so don't count on me.

Sorry about that, Shawn/Nick/Dave/Rourke/anyone else going.

Zero2Cool (18h) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (22h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

beast (28-Apr) : T.O. son signs with the 49ers

Mucky Tundra (28-Apr) : damn those vikings

beast (27-Apr) : UDFA Vikings sign TE – Trey Knox, South Carolina

beast (27-Apr) : Kitchen was all high from Miami, he was more lucky than talented in 2022 and it showed in 2023

beast (27-Apr) : Reportedly Packers have UDFAs Jennings and Jones

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score

dhazer (27-Apr) : Anyone know what went on with Kitchens from Florida? At 1 point he was to be the Packers 1st round and he is way down the board now

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : Z, could you please combine my thread with yours please. I obviously did not see it when I Created it

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Re: 'Kool-Aid' McKinstry. Other than Icky Woods, has there ever been a good NFLer with a childish nickname?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Packers looking to trade up

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Flag?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Sag?

Nonstopdrivel (26-Apr) : It rhymes with "bag."

beast (26-Apr) : Family? That's Deadpool's F word

Nonstopdrivel (26-Apr) : Not THAT f-word.

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : fuck

beast (25-Apr) : 49ers are Cap Tight

beast (25-Apr) : Fuck

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : Kanata, I will be when I'm on my lunch later

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Love you NSD

Nonstopdrivel (25-Apr) : Huh. I guess the F-word is censored in this fan shout.

Nonstopdrivel (25-Apr) : Anyone who doesn't hang out in the chat probably smokes pole.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : GoPackGo Thinking CB is the pick tonight

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Anyone hanging out in the chat tonight?
