Another day, another dollar.
Good morning Wilderness! Can you feel your sanity slowly slipping away as the Twin Cities finds itself the epicenter of the sporting world this week? While any self-respecting local would probably prefer to get the hell out of Dodge for the week, you have to at least appreciate the effort that goes into putting together a party of this stature.
Like most parties however, the host will be left to clean up the mess after a bunch of self-important easterners flee the scene this Monday. It’s also looking to be a very expensive week just for living in the area as price gouging is in full effect in the Twin Cities. Thanks football.
We’re back in action tonight after the Wild had a bit of a break for the spectacle that was the NHL All-Star Game. Tonight the Wild will be in Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets. Be sure to stay with us all day for the latest leading up to the game.
For the music today, we’re going to keep it fun and light. A band called Walk off the Earth will be taking the stage in just a few seconds, bringing us their cover of the popular Outkast song, Hey Ya! So without further ado, Walk off the Earth!
