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! :)

Praire Home Companion in Minneapolis!

I've been working on our Prairie Home Companion site this week, and I'm pretty excited about it! The live show is actually coming to Minneapolis on May 14 at the State Theatre!



As usual, I think I know WAAAAYYY too much about Prairie Home Companion and Garrison Keillor now, BUT as my good old childhood friend Dr. Seuss told me:

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

On that note, check out our Prairie Home Companion site! Talk to you all soon! :)

Chino Latino = YUMMY!

One of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities is hands down Chino Latino! I love the variety of foods that they offer and the atmosphere is always fun. It's a tradition for my friends and I to go there during the weekend of my birthday, although I tend to go there many times throughout the year. It's such an "out there" restaurant...their clever phrases and slogans are pretty racy, but thats what makes it Chino!



Plus, the loaction is perfect! It's right in uptown so you can get lunch or dinner, and then head shopping or even to some of the most popular bars in the Twin Cities for drinks! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys great food and good service! :)

MN State Fair!!!

So one of my favorite things to do during the summer, although I can ONLY handle it once, is to go to the MN State Fair. I love the food, hanging with friends, seeing some good entertainment, and again, I LOVE the FOOD! haha...I'm really excited to see what kind of new things they come up with this year!



But along with good food that the MN State Fair is bringing this summer, it's also bring amazing artists that are performing at the Grandstand! The artists performing this year are Def Leppard, Heart, Big Time Rush, The Happy Together Tour, Steely Dan, Toby Keith, Marc Anthony, Maroon 5, and Train! It should be some amazing shows! And of course, we have tickets for all of these shows at Ticket King, so be sure to check them out on our site! Talk to you soon!

To Walk or Not to Walk?

So I've been contemplating whether I should walk or not for graduation at UST. I honestly don't want to wait more hours for my my named to be call...due to the fact that my last name is towards the end of the alphabet. Of course I have my friends and family begging me to walk, just for the experience, but I I must say that I'm just ready to be done! It's been a long four years...and although I LOVE UST, I'm really excited to be done!

Maybe I can think of some alternative to walking. Maybe even stage it? It wouldn't be completely authentic, but I'm sure everyone will get the same feeling. Haha...we'll see.
