Boy Group Crisis
Thank goodness we're all past the Twelve Tone Boy Group phase.
Boy band incites 'girl frenzy' at mall
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minnesota (AP) -- Police shut down a suburban shopping mall for several hours Saturday after screaming fans of the boy band B5 rushed the stage during a free concert.
Five people suffered minor injuries, police said.
More than 2,000 fans, mostly teenage girls, converged on Brookdale Center mall for the show, sponsored by the local Radio Disney station, KDIZ-AM. The band had only begun the second song when the chaos broke out and girls began rushing the stage.
"It just seemed like a girl frenzy," said Christopher Taykalo of Radio Disney. "A lot of young teenage girls who were trying to get close to their artists that they are huge fans of."
Seventy officers from 23 area communities responded the chaos. It took about 15 minutes for them to get the crowd under control and another 30 minutes to clear out the mall. The mall reopened later Saturday evening.
"I've never seen anything like it in my life," Jennifer Fullbright, 49, of Cottage Grove, told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. She took her daughter and her daughter's friend to see the band.
B5 is a group of five brothers from Atlanta -- Dustin, Patrick, Kelly, Bryan and Carnell Breeding -- ages 10 to 17. Their debut album, "All I Do," came out this summer, and they toured with the BET cable network's "Scream Tour IV."

All better
I would like to report that all is going to be okay in Minneapolis now.
It was getting rough here. Last Friday it was 65F out side and people were riding their motorcycles the heat was getting to some people. The boy band incident was just a symptom of how off kilter everyone was. As I was biking home last night, it was raining and I was thinking, as I felt the heat of the SUV engines and watched the steam rise off the asphalt and mingle with the exhaust smoke, this ain’t right. Rain in the middle of November?
But this morning I looked out side and saw the dusting of the winter’s first snow. As I watched my neighbor crawl through her trunk to get into her car (because the doors were frozen shut) I felt my freshly washed hair slowly freeze in the breeze and thought “things are right in the world again”.

Whew! If any were headed this way, they didn't stop. Probably too cold for them here, too; or maybe they saw Darrell, out in the cornfield with his triple-aught. They're headed for Florida, I reckon.

Uh oh, JES remember you can't take the law into your own hands anymore! We need you to moderate the UP forum. Let Lamby handle them---she'll straighten them out without leaving any visible markings!
