Another big change...

...after the better part of 25 years spent living in the heart of Uptown Minneapolis, I now live in Saint Paul. Besides the need to escape a certain someone, the bar I have called home (and the scene of many of the best shows I have ever seen or put on) closed last year. The Uptown Bar has been destroyed and so has my defacto (sp?) home/social center/showplace. New corporate owners, even if it reopens the place is dead. Arguably, it died the day Maggie MacPherson was fired/quit. Mark Lokowich and I used the pay phones next to the corner booth as our business phones while we ran Sonic Warp. (We really hated our home phone ringing constantly at all hours.) Oddly, I really appreciate not having to worry about being run over every time I cross the street in front of my house in St. Paul. Living in a ghost town after 4pm is not a bad thing.
