So here's my adventure story:

I knew that SPAH was near the Mall of America and I knew that I couldn't attend because we were traveling to visit family on the east coast.

Supposed to fly through Detroit. Then, I get an email a few weeks before the flight adding a stop in Minneapolis.

We get delayed in Detroit and miss the last flight out of Minneapolis, so the airline puts us up in a hotel. The shuttle to the hotel has to take an alternate route because the interstate is closed for construction. We drive right by the Ramada around midnight and I catch a glimpse through a bay window of a jam session in progress.

Really wanted to delay the trip for a day and go play. Since I was traveling with the three kids and wife, I was outvoted. At least I didn't spend any money on harmonicas!

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Now if only you'd had a harp in your shirt pocket to warble on while you passed the Ramada, you could have jammed as well?
