Saw this over at the U today... 95% sure I know who it is, but I didn't recognize the car so I won't mention any names.
Guess I'll have to do TUBAIST...

I forget his name but he’s over in Minnetonka somewhere not far from me. He attends the same church we belong to.

Oh... Not who I was thinking of, then. Come to think of it, I think his license plate is just "TUBA."

Going through the Blue Mountains in NE Oregon about a decade and a half ago, I got behind a vehicle with a tag that read BBTUBA.

Based on the vehicle and the parking spot, I assumed not. Wrong side of campus, too.

No he’s a tuba player. I can’t remember his name. I believe he might play in the Minnetonka orchestra? Not sure. He attended the last tuba conference at the college campus.

I know who you’re talking about. I don’t think he’s a member here, but he is a student at the U of MN.

He’s Middle Aged like me. I had chatted with him on FB before I got rid of my account. I am not sure where he plays. He had some stuff he was selling on fb and it was very close to me is how I ended up chatting with him.

I remembered his name. Last name starts with a M and I think there a auto auction company of a similar name. He plays for the Minnetonka orchestra.
