Short….but Sweet!

My internship here at Ticket King has sadly come to an end. I’ve had a fantastic last few months working for Ticket King! It has definitely been an amazing time working here and getting to know my coworkers and supervisors. Definitely going to miss my Tuesdays and Thursdays hanging with Cortney and Kristy! (and occasional office pets!) You don’t find too many jobs where you feel comfortable and enjoy going into work everyday, and my internship here at Ticket King was definitely that!

Plus, I love that I know SO much more about sports, music, and entertainment. I had pretty general knowledge before, but working for Ticket King has definitely helped me expand that knowledge, so I’m thankful for that!

I want to thank all of my readers for following this blog, and hope that you continue to check in! Someone will be taking over this blog and informing you guys about all of the upcoming events, and what tickets are available through our Ticket King site! I hope you all have a fantastic summer!

Not Your Regular Cafeteria Food

I've been to the Cafeteria in Uptown Minneapolis  a couple of times for drinks, but I recently finally made it through for a meal, and I must say it was pretty good! The menu has a lot of options, mainly focused around comfort food, and it turned out well. The best part of it I would say would be the Sky Bar that they opened up due to the great weather we've recently had. The rooftop atmosphere and experience was really fun and me and my friends ended up really enjoying ourselves! I would check it out if you haven't already!

St Paul Saints Games This Week

The St Paul Saints games start this week at the Midway Stadium and of course Ticket King has great tickets and prices for all of the games! The first game is this Thursday, May 12, against the Sioux Falls Fighting Pheasants! It's a fun, affordable way to get your family and friends out and about to enjoy a good time! Be sure to check out our Ticket King site for tickets! Let's Play Ball!

Summer, Summer, Summer TIME!

So while listening to Pandora today, I was graced with Will Smith's "Summer Time"...(which yes I'm a SMALL fan of Big Willy's hits...lol) But it only got me excited for this summer!

It took a while for the good weather to get here, but I'm TOO excited to start having a little fun! Besides trying to find a full time job, I'm hoping to relax and have some fun! I already have trips planned for Vegas in July and Chicago in August, so I know I'm going to be able to travel, which I'm excited for!

Plus, I'm going to be doing some local things around the Twin Cities, like hitting up Lake Calhoun, going to some parades, happy hour in downtown and uptown (yum!), and of course LIVING UP THE NIGHT LIFE! I also already have tickets to a few popular concerts this summer including Rihanna and Britney Spears! Man, oh man...this can only get better! BRING OUT THE SUITS!!!

Jennifer Lopez New CD "Love?"

Jennifer Lopez's new album Love? was released earlier this month, and after listening to the entire album, I must say J.Lo Might be back! lol

With the worldwide success of her first single "On the Floor", I wasn't surprised that her album was good! she has such a variety of styles and sounds, and it actually makes for a good album. I wasn't sure if she would be able to bring herself back into the music game, but with her new gig as a judge on American Idol and her success of her new album, she's actually doing quite well. Hey...maybe she'll even consider going on tour one more time...WE'LL SEE!!!! :)

Working at Ticket King!

Working at Ticket King has been a blast so far, and I'm gonna be a little sad to be leaving soon! :( I loved working with the people here and the atmosphere is so comfortable! I feel like I've been in the know about so many things since working here too...from Britney Spears to Prairie Home Companion...The Minnesota Twins to Celtic Woman...concerts at the Minnesota State Fair to the Minnesota Zoo "Music in the Zoo" concerts...I can PROBABLY go on ALL day! haha! But I definitely appreciate working here! PLUS, What place do you know where you can bring in some of the cutest pups to roam the office and keep you company?!?! Only at Ticket King! :)

NEW Owl City's Alligator Sky Music Video

Owl City released their new music video last week for "Alligator Sky", the first single off Owl City's new album "All Things Bright and Beautiful", out on June 14.

The music video for "Alligator Sky" is about two men, Adam Young and rapper Shawn Chrystopher, returning to Earth after it seems that the planet has perished and there's no more life on it. Adam Young and Shawn Chrystopher return wearing space suits and walk through the abandoned earth admiring the scenery, where the streets are deserted and everything around is old, dusty, and destroyed.The music video ends with the two men returning to a rocket ship and blasting off. The song should get a positive response, but you should definitely check it out and be the judge of that!

Ticket King's Owl City site has TONS of information about Owl City's new project, tour dates and tickets for the upcoming Owl City All Things Bright and Beautiful WORLD tour, and other detailed information!

Fogo De Chao is mmm, mmm, GOOD!

I tried Fogo de Chao in Downtown Minneapolis about a week ago, and absolutely loved it! It's a Brazilian style steakhouse that offers up loads of meat, which is the restaurants main attraction! I went for a birthday party and we did have to wait a little longer than usual, even WITH reservations, but the wait was definitely worth it!

 

 

When the waiters get you seated you get a sign that is green on one side and red on the other side. When you have the green side up, the waiters will literally bombard you with service and meat! When you have the red side up, they won't bring you any meat.  You can put the green up as many times as you want. The service was fast and friendly, but the cost is pretty pricey (especially for a college student), but nonetheless it  was still worth it! I would definitely check it out if you haven't had the chance to!  

Hoping Twins will Turn Things Around

The Twins have been heading in a bit of a bad direction, but I feel like they're going to turn things around. As long as us Twin fans stay positive and keep giving them our support, they'll do fine! I might be just TOO optimistic, but I have faith in the Twins, and know they'll be able to pull things around. The staff here at Ticket King will be pretty disappointed if they don't, but we'll just have to hope for the best!

The Twins will be back  in Minneapolis on May 10th to play against Detroit, so we'll have to see if they'll give us another win...WE NEED IT! :)

BitterSweet...:/

A couple of weeks before I take my last exams, hand in my last papers, and receive my final grades! And although I'm pretty excited...I'm gonna miss it a little. It's definitely going by faster and faster, but I'm ready!

This weekend all of the graduating Communications and Journalism majors participated in this competition called Ethics Bowl, where we discuss whether we feel specific, real-world cases are ethical or not. My team spent weeks preparing for this, and walked away with a couple of wins and couple of losses, but MOST importantly, we walked away with an A!!! It feels good when you put so much work and effort into something, and it pays off! Sort of like my entire college experience....GRADUATION = the ULTIMATE pay off! :)
