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

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

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

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

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.

Will not FAP at the Gay 90s sorry.

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 (twelve years ago) link
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.

I think I checked that bus before, 1:30am arrival time not good. I'll just kidnap a retired Iowa couple at the baseball convention.

Sunday, but my plan is to leave Monday the 2nd.

I hesitate to commit to anything because I'm not sure of plans, yet, but if I come to mpls that weekend I could conceivably get you to at least Des Moines.
― mh, Friday, 1 June 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks, but I may make alternate plans and go to Chicago by way of Madison. Or just spend 11 hrs on Greyhound.
