The
Minnesota Wild lost their NHL playoff slot last night when they played in Denver against the Colorado Avalanche and lost another game in the first round of the NHL Western Conference Quarterfinals. So today is a very quiet day down at Ticket King St. Paul. I biked with my friends from Arden Hills down to our office in downtown St. Paul for the Santana concert tonight at the Xcel Energy Center. I guess that I am so used to it being crazy busy for events (the Minnesota Wild, mostly), that I got here waaaaaaaaaay too early for the show. It's so different down here at Ticket King St. Paul when the Minnesota Wild season is over. It's super nice out, plus it's a weekend, so when we biked over to the Starbucks on Grand Ave, there were so many people sitting out on the sidewalks having coffee, and the patio at Billy's on Grand was totally full!
In fact, I don't think I've been over to
Billy's on Grand during the day since Grand Old Day last year. Grand Old Day is one of the highlight festivals of the summer in the whole state. First place would definitely have to be a tie between Grand Old Day in St. Paul and Lumberjack Days in Stillwater. Ticket King St. Paul has contemplated participating in the parade for Grand Old Day this year, but we decided against it. Perhaps next year, right? We do have a Ticket King costume, it's pretty funny actually. I've worn it around the office before:
Ticket King Costume
I think that next year we'll have some of the girls from Ticket King wear the costume to promote Ticket King St. Paul during the big Minnesota Wild games and really popular concerts next season. In fact, this is a great idea for a poll. I'm going to have to look into this poll during the week. Check back to vote on whether or not we should have one of the Ticket King girls dressed up in the costume next season to take pictures with Minnesota Wild fans who come into the Ticket King St. Paul office for the bulletin board.
