A Weatherman and His Goat
*Photo credit to Sven's page on Flicker. Apprently there are at least a couple of people who think that Mr. Sundgaard is "Soooo cute."This afternoon, Ambular and I explored St. Louis Park’s shopping scene. There were a couple of “high-end secondhand” stores I wanted to check-out. (An oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one.) The stores disappointed a bit, although I did see a pretty sweet couch for $249.
But the best part of the afternoon; Ambular and I saw local TV weatherman “Sven Svenerson.” For those who don’t know, he’s the new weekend weather guy on the KARE 11 news team. (He also has a blog.) His real name is Sven Sundgaard. The first time Ambular and I saw him on the KARE 11 I cleverly twisted his name into our personal pet name for him. It is hard to believe how authentically Swedish he is.
We realized how ridiculous it was to get excited about seeing such a minor local celebrity, and that made it all the more hilarious to us. It is not that we were awestruck. Instead, we were more geeked about the fact that we knew where he lived, what he drives (a Kia Sportage), and what he looks like off the camera…
just in case we wanted to stalk him.

FYI - He came from Duloot. We used to see him around town up here regularly. We miss him here.

Hey man, are you doing the BarBri thing?
big ups for pointing out sven's blog. this kid is ridiculous. I don't know what's worse: his Kare 11 promo with his parents & the goat or the fact that because he's on TV means that he's our age and making bank. Or the fact that he actually looks smaller than our own little Sveen.
Ambular wanted to put an elf hat on him and pinch his cheeks.
He's cuter than any man should be.
Sven is going to be huge in the Twin Cities market, likley bigger than Ken Barlow. The healthy lifestyle he leads and the community support he offers through education is a credit to his being. The ladies love his looks and Minnesota will love his actions and newscasts. Sven Sundgaard Un-Official Website
Got nothing against Sven from a personal standpoint, but the way KARE is packaging him with their on-air promos makes him look ridiculous. Since KARE has been dethroned by WCCO in the ratings, I guess mild desperation has now turned into full fledged panic.....I don't know how anyone can watch those people over there! Willing to bet 1 year from now, this fascination with Herr Sven is all a distant memory.
