There was a surprise Kelis performance at the Saloon’s latin night:
And yes I think this is the drag queen who was Amy Winehouse at the Cazwell concert.
Stella and I went to the clubhouse this weekend and got sat on by a 400 pound Cher!
Pictures (and video!) of the hilarity after the jump. NOTE: not school/work appropriate.
Jamie and I at Home Depot:
For some reason this didn’t post last week:
Minneapolis had a snowstorm today! According to the news, may get as much 10 inches. Oy Vey!
We were already at school when the snow started. I interviewed my housemate throughout the day:
The snow made her want to cry apparently.
You can follow the latest Minneapolis snow storm tweets at #snowpocalypse and #snowmageddon.
I think this is brilliant.

The legal fraternity went out for pizza at Punch:
Jamie and I had the opportunity to observe a very public, very awful first-date at the Freighthouse.
Here are the best quotes:
400-pound-man: “I got home and the Antique Roadshow was on, so of course I watched it until 6am!”
400-pound-man: “And I woke up the next day and was like: “WHO WAS THAT LITTLE GREEN GUY DRIVING THE CAR AND WHO CRAPPED ON MY LAWN!?”
Jamie grabs my laptop, opens MS Word and writes:
Jamie: This guy doesn’t shut up. I feel sorry for this girl. So far it has been determined- by me- that he is a drunk and trying too hard. I think she has completed three full sentences and one was about her coming home from work on Friday and having a bottle of wine.
Jamie (quoting the guy): “It’s not like I am a drunk, I am a social person that likes to have fun.” Definitely a first date- and if either of them had any standards it would be the last. He is so not self-monitoring.
Me (typing): And you thought the mall-cop was bad…
Me (typing): But seriously, they aren’t THAT entertaining to make up for what you’re losing in productivity…
Jamie (typing): Though the legal lady and these two are definitely making it all worthwhile!
Jamie stole my camera and…
I finished uploading some videos from last weekend’s Bemidji trip. The rest are on the youtube channel.
We kicked winter off with Jean’s graduation party:
Saturday night Jamie and I went to Tickles for his friend’s birthday.
Jamie: “This is like a supper club.”
Joey: “Yeah, definitely.”
Me: “Uh, what is a supper club?”
Joey and Jamie: You’ve never been to a supper club!?
Me: “I’m pretty sure they don’t have those in Miami…
I think they spent 20 minutes explaining what a ‘supper club’ is. They couldn’t really describe the difference between a supper club and a restaurant, so I was confused until about 5 minutes ago when Wikipedia-ed it. Oh Wikipedia…how I love thee… So what is a supper club?
A supper club is an American dining establishment generally found in the Upper Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan.
These establishments typically are located on the edge of town in rural areas. They were traditionally thought of as a “destination” where patrons would go to spend the whole evening, from cocktail hour to enjoying night club style entertainment after dinner.
They feature a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Supper clubs can still be found in the Upper Midwest but they are now simply restaurants rather than the all-night entertainment destinations of the past.
Oh. So it’s a restaurant!
Tickles is advertised as a gay piano bar…but eh. Think of a gross, indie Applebee’s. Take out the fun lamps and wall decorations. Then add a piano, cheesy string lights, gays, and staff it with annoyed, hissy waiters.
We left after a few hours and went to the Gay 90’s. A drag queen performed Beyonce’s Diva. It was amazing. I thought it would be the nightlight of the night until we went downstairs and saw an impromptu version of Single Ladies…
…and the Diva drama continued:
Jamie and I saw “The Spirit” today. Here’s Jamie’s take at Chipotle:
My flipcam’s vacation was a little longer than mine. When I was in Miami for Christmas I left my camera in a family friend’s car. It ended up in the Florida Keys.
My mother mailed it back today. There were some left over clips from around Miami still on it. Here they are:
The other video is here.
A video of South Beach today…
I have no idea why the quality is so bad. Let’s blame youtube.
