2007 Welcom Home Twins Luncheon

Upon return from Vegas we started the next day with the Welcome Home Twins Lucheon. I was so confused when the alarm was going off that morning, 1st I didn't know where I was then I thought I had to go to school (?! that has been a few years!!), then I finally remembered TWINS! So great to shoot it again for the MPLS Chamber. I made rounds to the tables with the "Big Names" although I missed Cuddy's table and somehow I ran into Mike Redmann while trying to photograph Jeff Cirilo (maybe he ran into me...who knows). Chris was there too, he got the shot of Joe Nathan's table, we should have asked him if he needed some baby photos!
The Twins are on a roll and hope they keep it up, they really seem like some down to earth guys. Happy to have Baseball season started and hoping the TWINS have another great season!

Held at the City Center Marriot DT MPLS

Johan kindly hands over an autographed baseball.

I always think of Joe when I am at Jimmy John's or Diavanni's, he should get some cash or free food for getting that in the national media! I think he was talking about his batting title here.

Justin laughs as he answers the question about last year's undershirt

Not quite sure what Cuddy is puzzled about, a magic trick that even has him stumped?

Torii won the centerpeice...

but Bartlett seems suspicious, even though it is clear Torii is holding the winning number. *not really sure why JB looks suspicious*

Vegas Baby!

Well we had a long trip to Vegas. Mostly Biz, but we had some fun as well. WPPI convention at the beginning of the week, overloaded with info but Chris won an Asuka Book - the highlight of the convention for him. The end of the week was our Vegas Wedding at The Grove with Brooke & Jason. Totally great! We saw celebraties - Jay Leno and head Baywatch Lifegaurd/Knight Rider himself - David Hasselhoff (now in The Producers on the Strip). We had a lot of fun, but are still exhausted from the 7 night trip, late nights and a lot more food and drink than usual.
We stayed at Bally's but if I knew my Mom owned motels in DT I totally might have stayed there!

Chris and I at the Grooms Dinner at The Venetian (thanks to Hank for pushing the button).

Chris took this cool blurry photo while we waited for the Bellagio Water Show, very impressionistic.

Near...Far...My shot of the water show (sang in my best Celine voice).

Thank you Japenese Man for returning the photo favor infront of the Mirage Volcano.

My favorite Casinos I think were Ceasar's, The Mirage and the MGM Grand. I won $10 here and the Lion gave me a free drink (or maybe it was the coctail server) in any case this was the only place, that we found,that actually still took coin in the slot machines!

Bally's people movers, Hank, Erin & Chris on the way to Bill's to waste a little dough.

Spring Fog

On my way to the club Sat. Morning the fog was really heavy. I wish I had more time to shoot, but I just hopped out for a second. Happy Spring!
