Scam Uber and NHL Logo Chaos in Minnesota

I was in Minnesota for some event that had already happened and I was waiting for an Uber. I called it and so I was on my phone. It was going to be a little while and it turns out I was in front of T.J. Oshie's house so I'm on his stoop sitting there scrolling through the internet. I saw some funny memes of T.J. Oshie and Tom Wilson out drinking people. it was some challenge online to see if you could out drink them and no one could beat them, which was pretty funny. I was looking to see if the Islanders were playing that day and all the NHL teams had different logos. I think they were doing some special event thing to change their logos for maybe April Fools or just the weekend or something. The ones I remember were: - Colorado Avalanche were the Colorado Glacier - Utah Mammoth, who just named themselves, were some red and black and yellow Indian reservation - Detroit Red Wings were the Detroit Revel All of the logos were pretty bad. They were mostly black-based and square. I think it couldn't have been a permanent thing but it was weird. I couldn't even see if the Islanders are playing because I didn't know what team they were on this new NHL app. Eventually my Uber pulls up and gets here and I go out front. This guy is setting up some big event for T.J. Oshie to get home. I guess he knows he lives there and he's setting up some sort of marketing thing with all the stuff he's pulling out of his van. I'm not really sure. Then I see Shane Boyle, I guess I was meeting up with him, and we have to go around the block to get to this Uber. For some reason Shane hops this fence and then comes out the other side for no real reason. We finally get to the Uber. It's this fat plumber guy, electrician, whatever, and he's writing me a ticket for him parking in a restricted spot. He's got this electrical van that we're supposed to get in and it's a clear and complete scam. He's trying to give ME a ticket for HIS Uber being parked in the wrong spot and then can't actually drive me because he's got to go get it towed or something. I take out my phone and I start filming this guy, taking all the information I can on him, proving that he's a scammer. “Be aware that Uber is doing this nowadays.” I guess this was a trending thing or something. He didn't seem to care that much and kept trying to give me this ticket, which I was NOT going to accept. He wanted like $1,500 for this ticket/Uber ride, which was not gonna happen. I was really pissed and left. I guess I started walking through this Minnesota city to try to get to, I think it was, a party or something. I think I was meeting up with Seth and Justin there.
