  • TSO in Winnipeg


    TSO – Stage

    We saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Winnipeg last night and it was a great show. Similar, but with some different twists that the first time we saw them last year at the Alerus Center in Fargo.

    This was the best picture I was able to capture. Between the ushers telling people not to take pictures and somebody poking me it was hard to get the camera up to take a decent shot. Anyway, photos hardly tell the story, you need to experience the sound, light, laser and pyrotechnics that is the TSO.

    Up a Tree

    This is Eric. This is Eric up a tree, a 45′ tree, at the top of a 32′ ladder. It’s high, scary high especially when you’re reaching up to trim of those last few branches.

    As were doing this, for some strange reason, the Monty Python Lumber jack song pops into my head. Anyway, we keep working and before long the tree is down, and we didn’t hit any wires of the neighbors fence and it’s all good. We even got some applause from a neighbor two houses down. I think he thought there was going to be an impending disaster when we cut off the top 12-15′.
