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.

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

hitchhike
― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Friday, 1 June 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 1 June 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
What day does the convention end?
― mh, Friday, 1 June 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
Sunday, but my plan is to leave Monday the 2nd.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 1 June 2012 20:32 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 1 June 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
OK, all booked, and I even got a price dip that lets me fly to Quad Cities.
Sunday will probably be a culture day, Walker and whatever. I should be sorta free a couple other eves too.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 June 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
Which days are these going to be again?
― Björk lied (Eric H.), Thursday, 7 June 2012 14:53 (twelve years ago) link
June 27-July 1. I guess the free Thurs night at the Walker is a possibility, since there'll be food?

Just get this 90-degree stuff over with in the next 2 weeks.
I guess I should go into St Paul for something this time. Izzy's Ice Cream?

Make sure to hit the Trend Bar.

Did we determine what day will be Morbsday? I am still thinking about coming in for the weekend, at least for a day or so.
― mh, Thursday, 21 June 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link
Well, I'm abashed that you would, as landmark an event as this is.
I have a Twins game on Friday night (the 29th), otherwise flexible... Sat eve or Sunday late afternoonish? Staying in the heart of downtown but can meet you anywhere walkable or busable.

If you have the time/ability, that's a really cute little (like, really really little) theater!
― old people are made of poop (Eric H.), Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:08 (eleven years ago) link
The Room is also showing somewhere, but you know me and bad movies.
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
They do that every month, just about. I have to think the crowds have thinned away.

Oh yeah Morbs. You're missing pride by a week.

Flying in today thru Chicago first, which is editing weird because MSP is a hub, but hey it's more billable travel hours so whatever.
Maybe I'll get a chance to visit Planet Snoopy this time
― Fiendish Doctor Wu! (kingfish), Sunday, 24 June 2012 16:03 (eleven years ago) link
okay, so nighttime-only tickets to the park are $20, that's doable.
Also, I'm at a Best Western in Shakopee, and they have frickin' pachinko machines in here, operational, only without any balls to play pachinko with.
