Minneapolis , 7th Street Entry ; Not exactly sold out ... (photo , Chris P doffs a passed out Charlies hat )

Ron did a good job anyway . And Mobb Deep were next door so we rocked the ' Prince VIP " room for a little while but without Prince it just didn't cut it . Looked like an early night for the lads . And then came motel hell .
It was Graduation .
And the nation of bedlam did not rest , could not rest , until all the drinks were drunk and screams were screamed and prom gowns were torn . Animal House meets Carrie . ( All pop references will be in Imperial measurements )
Naturally the Emergency adapted quickly and then played open motel door host to a revolting , we mean revolving , cast of characters all night long . The second floor balcony was the place to be . There were rappers and flappers , there were students drinking Teachers , there were people from Vancouver and even the odd Newfoundlander ( real odd ) . But there was one buddy there that took the prize .
Charlie was DTK , dressed to kill , in his plaid trousers and pinstripe westcoat complete with top hat . He arrived with a nearly full bottle of Jamesons and whole lotta 'tude . A cross between a young Tom Hanks and the kid from Rushmore . We liked him instantly . We hit it off did Charlie and the Emergency . Charlie stayed the night . In fact we woke up with Charlie in our effing Bed ! ( Several layers of bedding apart , of course .) Knock , knock , housekeeping ! Yup , ok , give us a few minutes please... WTF !! ?
And that was Minneapolis . Party on Charlie and congratulations .
