Today's offering is a potpourri of tickets. Again kind of hard to read so here they are in order starting in the bottom left:

American Gladiators
Shedd Aquarium
Blue Man Group
Degas
Minnesota State Fair
Mud Racing and Hot Rod Truck Pull
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Fosse
Chicago
Blue Man Group

The gem here is the American Gladiator's ticket. Talk about a moment in time. The Blake Fun Club went to the event at the Target Center. It very well might have been organized by DTK. Zap, Nitro, Laser and the rest of the gladiators were all there. Someone in our group had a sign that read "I want Lace on my face." A local fireman won the Eliminator at the end.

If you notice the date on the tractor pull it is from 1984. I went to a couple of these things over the years. Big Foot and USA 1 were the big draws with their car crushing power. Truckasaurus of Simpson's fame was not present.

I am not sure if the State Fair ticket is from THE TRIP to the fair with Jan. I am guessing some cheese curds were eaten that day whenever it may have been.

These hodge podge tickets are what I am missing the most of as it does not always occur to me to save the stubs. I guess in my youth, tickets to the Gophers counted but tickets to the Guthrie or Children's Theater did not. Furthermore, I have no explanation why I saved the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame stub but failed to save the Football Hall of Fame one. For the record, we saw Chicago before there was a movie. I feel the need to point that out as the few art and theater tickets I have are as mainstream and mass marketed as one can get.
