RNC Aftermath

So I'm down here in our Ticket King St. Paul office, surveying the aftermath of the RNC. As you can see, my beautiful historic office is filled to the brim with things from Eagle Street - they needed somewhere to store their things while CNN took over the restaurant. It looks about the same outside - the police are still barracading the one block radius around the Xcel, it's still feels weird to be down here with all this stuff going on, even though it's been a week since it all started. We'll be back to business as usual at Ticket King St. Paul on Monday, have a good weekend!

Crazy in STP

It's nuts down here by Ticket King St. Paul. There are so many people everywhere you turn, I just can't believe that the RNC is almost here. We've been talking about it for SO long - and tomorrow the street baracades go up. There's a huge "free speech" tent that's gone up across the street from the Xcel Energy Center on the corner of W. 7th and Kellogg - the empty parking lot space. And the big screen on the exterior of the Xcel shows the interior build-out of the arena for the speeches - it's actually pretty cool. We actually had some of the bomb squad guys come in and buy tickets at Ticket King St. Paul last week, and that was really interesting. They've been in town for five or six weeks making sure that the Xcel and surrounding areas are safe! There are people walking around everywhere down here with the super special "RNC member" lanyards. Man, I'm glad we're going to be closed for the next week, it's going to be complete craziness down on the streets of St. Paul!
