I always abhor posting a teaser on the chance that something comes up to impede with my planned schedule and prohibit me from attending the Vikings first minicamp session of the 2006 season, but I'll take that risk.

If all goes according to plan, I will be at Winter Park Friday morning to watch the 10:30 am - 12:30 pm (CST) practice. The practice will be held indoors so the photos may not be as crisp as you are use to seeing. But I'll do my best to bring you some exciting shots.

If you can't wait, there are two things you can do to bide your time:

1) I'll post some photos "live" using my cell phone. These are "crap cam" photos of poor quality but at least you'll be able to see some early stuff directly from practice itself. These photos would be posted to my VU Moblog page.

2) Starting as early as Friday afternoon, I will begin the slow process of editing and then uploading photos. I'll start by uploading directly to my Flickr site. So you will start to see photos from minicamp interspersed with my other personal photos along the top. Just keep refreshing the page and a new set of five will appear. Or you can watch the Flash Flickr box along the right which updates automatically.

I'll then work over the weekend on adding some written entries in the vein of a minicamp report and analysis complete with all the photos. I also hope to have some audio for all you podcast devotees.

But be patient as it is also The Boy's 6th birthday party on Saturday and I will be breaking away for that important event.

Until then.
