Hmmm, seems Raja's Mahal has become an Ethiopian restaurant since I was there last.

Hit up the Wienery.

Also the Mayday Cafe is pretty much my ideal neighborhood cafe if you're into that sort of thing. Doesn't stay open very late though.

You guys get to engage with RUIN at the Triple Rock *emits jealous vibes* waaaaah....

caribou is a chain! kind of ironically, there was a chain email going around a few years back alleging the majority of the stockholders were some arab investment group!

whoa! I would be tempted to go up there for the weekend if you made the effort to make such a trip

mh, Monday, 23 April 2012 19:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

On the weekend I would be preoccupied w/ baseball research findings & games, unforch.

Isn't it sort of a "whole Midwest" trip?

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Monday, 23 April 2012 19:25 (1 year ago) Permalink

But, yes, count me in if you do swing up. Plenty of dive bars in NE to sample.

stoked for the morbness!

Badu and a sax run hand-in-hand (jjjusten), Monday, 23 April 2012 19:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

there are cost and shall-I-or-can-I-move factors at play, so curb your anticipation.

the morb giveth, and the morb taketh away

I'd try to lure him south but I don't think he needs to see the Cubs farm team

mh, Monday, 23 April 2012 20:12 (1 year ago) Permalink

well, I'm PO'd cuz the St Paul Saints are on the road (cuz the Twins are home) during the confab, so I was in fact thinking of making a diversion to see Quad Cities. All theoretical at the moment tho.

Great! It would be fun do attend a FAP in Mpls. Because I never have. Been invited.

hey, i'm down. what's the worst that could happen?

goole, Friday, 18 May 2012 16:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

damn, I'll be 10 days too early to see a production of The Sunshine Boys at the Guthrie!

Will be based in a familiar sector of downtown, as I went to both Gay '90s and 7th Street Entry in '94.

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 18 May 2012 16:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

Will not FAP at the Gay 90s sorry.

Count-Dracula-Down (Eric H.), Friday, 18 May 2012 16:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

That's OK, I don't go to music shows (hardly) anymore either.

not really a good way to get from Mpls to Iowa (Davenport/Quad Cities) unless you're driving or buying a $400 plane ticket, eh?

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 1 June 2012 17:20 (11 months ago) Permalink

nope. rent a car. It'll be way cheaper than a plane ticket. I think it's a five-and-a-half hour drive, and taking everything into account, that plane ride will take up a good three hours of your day.

A friend of mine biked down to Iowa. It's flat, so it'll be an easy 350 miles.
