Just when I moved 2 minutes away from the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, Jimmy went and played Wrigley.
Now this summer, I'll be living in the burbs of Minneapolis- I know he played in '04 or '03, but are there any rumors of a show in MN this year?

He's doing the 7th Inning Stretch for the St. Paul Saints on Sept. 2. A little favour to Bill Murray...

THe last 2 dates were 11/10/01 and 5/20/04.
He usually plays in the spring or late fall here.
I haven't heard of any this spring but I will check my
2 contacts at the X and Target Center.

You can drive south on I-94 I think it is, to Redwing, MN and gamble. That's the most exciting thing I ever found to do in Minnesota. You could drive even farther south to Wabasha and see where Grumpy Old Men was filmed. Or go even FURTHER south to Winona and visit where I spent 10 months in a verifiable living hell.

That's right...I forgot about that! Not this winter...I dislocated my shoulder before Christmas (a recurring problem) and had to cancel my trip- which I was supposed to leave for tomorrow. Brandnew skis this year and they're still in my basement...it kills me.
Definitely next year though. (spoken like a true Cubs fan)
