Congratulations to Michelle who was our lucky winner of the City Pages contest by sharing her following festival story. We had a lot of great contributions and thank everyone who entered! "So many memories from Bonnaroo 2011, but the experience that stood out the most was me and my pal’s anticipation of Gogol Bordello. The band was playing at around 1:00 am, The heat during the day was sweltering so we had hiked (over an hour) back to our campsite for a nap at around 11:30pm, we had both slept through our alarms and woke up at 12:50am in a panic. Me and my fest mate shot out of our sleeping bags, pounded two Hamm’s apiece, and hopped on the Bonnaroo golfcart taxi. We made it in time to experience the wildest gypsy punk rock dance party ever, the community of people at Bonnaroo is something I’ll never forget."
City Pages Beer Festival recap
Eight teams were chosen by random and came out on Saturday, May 31st ready to compete despite the elements! After some hard-fought games, Brian Cassidy and Matt Schubert, a.k.a. the Angry Foxes, defeated Seth Bjergo and Billy X of Bagnificent in the championship game. Amidst the beer sampling and bag tossing, the City Pages Street Team was onsite scouring the crowd and randomly chose five lucky attendees and a plus one to upgrade from General Admission to the Fulton VIP Deck where they enjoyed free food catered by Noodles & Co. and Caffrey's, unlimited full-sized Fulton beers and premium seating near the stage - because life is truly is better in VIP...and at a Thies & Talle Apartment (https://www.thiestalle.com) !

This year, event-goers donned their Hollywood-best and came out in droves to strut the red carpet celebrity-style! The Thies & Talle Red Carpet Photo Opp captured the glam, as the paparazzi snapped pictures of people posing as they entered Muse Event Center. Check out the slideshow here: https://www.citypages.com/slideshow/red-carpet-photobooth-best-of-the-twin-cities-2014-party-41162801/#1 (https://www.citypages.com/slideshow/red-carpet-photobooth-best-of-the-twin-cities-2014-party-41162801/#1) While event-goers enjoyed samples from top eateries in the Twin Cities, they were encouraged to look under their plates for a special sticker.

Winter is almost over! (hopefully)
Here in the Midwest this has been a near record winter to live (suffer) through. We have had over 50 days where the temperature was below freezing and most of those were below zero! Add to it the 60+ inches of snow and you can see why the toughest people in the United State live here. Ok fine, we all really wanted to run screaming to Florida or someplace in the Caribbean but there is no need to admit that to the masses who all think we are superhuman for living here. But now that it is warming up and spring is on the horizon let's not forget that when you are out there looking for a new apartment you should think about the winter you were just living through. Having an outdoor parking lot in this state is no fun. You have to go out 20 minutes early and start you car up so it will be warm, you have to scrape off the ice and snow and you have to hope that your parking lot has been plowed before you need to get off to work. Make sure when you pick your new place that you pick one with an indoor garage option. It's always 70 degrees inside so you don't have to battle the elements to get your car warm and ready to that drive to work. We may not be able to provide you with a quicker commute once you hit the highways on a bad winter day but we can promise you that you won't have to waste a half hour out in the freezing cold just to get into your car and battle your way to the office. We have over a dozen prime properties with heated, underground parking options for you. Check them out today and make sure that next winter you stay warm! https://www.thiestalle.com/
