Here is how awesome my weekend was.<\/p>\n

Friday night, Matt and I watched a decisive Gophers win and then went to see Lyrics Born at the Cabooze.<\/p>\n

He hasn’t been to Minneapolis in a long time; the last show at the Fine Line was cancelled, and I was worried we’d never see him again. Not so! God, that was a great show. Also, you’ll notice we had a pretty excellent view.<\/p>\n

Saturday, we headed to the Marriott West, checked in, and promptly had eight people in our room drinking champagne (in a longstanding work-party tradition). We met everyone in the lobby at 2pm and boarded a party bus with shark teeth on the front, and a pinup girl on the side. Appropriately, it was called “First Class”.<\/p>\n

We dove into beer coolers, and my boss started announcing teams. I had no clue what the plan for the day was til I noticed a box sitting on the floor labeled “XL Coveralls”. PAINTBALL!!<\/p>\n

Holy crap, it was awesome. Here’s my boss; the inscription on her coveralls did her no good.<\/p>\n

We were divided into four teams, and took to the course two groups at a time to shoot the hell out of each other. I loved it. Also, my team came in second! (My boss’ team won. Totally a setup, in my opinion.) We each won $75.<\/p>\n

After paintball, we got back on the bus for the hotel. There was much more beer, which led to this:<\/p>\n

We took a break to go shower (and drink beer in said shower), then met in the lobby at 6pm, where she had a full bar set up. We hung out there for a while, then headed into the auditorium for dinner and a show called “Let’s Kill the Boss.” After that, we went over to a private room at Kip’s Pub for the rest of the night. Apparently it was so crazy after we left that the rest of the people there got cut off. AWESOME.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, work was a lot quieter than usual today! After we got done laughing about the party, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
