hah, yes. One woman walked past us as she and her partner were leaving about 6 songs in and said "I've had enough of this boring sad dad music" LOL.

So awesome. Yeah she randomly showed up and did Time After Time with Cyndi Lauper at her Mpls show around then too.

While I agree it’s an incredible album, she has so many other amazing records in her vast catalog, I’m constantly in awe of her.

For me growing up in a town of 2500 with no shopping/food/entertainment/etc options, getting my drivers license was a gateway to my world and eyes finally being opened up a bit.

I also wonder how much of it has to do with so many transplants here who grew up in fairly rural areas where you had to drive everywhere to do even the most basic things. I grew up with my family driving 2 hours each way to get groceries twice a month in Montana.

Not to say $38 to see a 3 hour show of some of the best songs ever written isn’t still an insane deal!

The big shows do this nearly every time, 48-72 hours before the show is the cheapest average always.

Nice! They scan your ticket a second time to get on the floor at US Bank unfortunately but I def plan to move around in my club level section a bit.

With the lowest price currently at $28 and climbing today, it seems like $13 on Monday is as cheap as the get-in price for this show hit, I was off by $1, not too shabby 😌.
