Minnesota/Minnesotans C or D

I hate to hate fun, but kayak guy seemed like a dumbshit and is probably lucky he didn't die

xtreme dudes like that are always saying stuff like "I'm a professional, I have many years of experience, I know what I'm doing" right up until the day they wingsuit themselves into a rock.

Chocolate Dessert Salami: Chocolate, butter, almonds and walnuts all blended and rolled into a salami shape, dusted with powdered sugar, then sliced and served on specialty crackers (Sausage Sister and Me)

They are really stretching with that

isn't that just… a tort… on a cracker

how do people feel about having an EZ Snappin sighting at the Triple Rock on the evening of July 16th? This was my idea when talking abt it because its sorta central for peeps, shouldn't be nuts on a wednesday (1/2 room show on the show side, which tends to be a ghost town), don't need to reserve a table etc.

thanks for the reminder!!

i'm hip to whatever as far as bar...triple rock is good w/me. wouldn't be far to relocate to grumpys or somewhere if it were too crowded either

yeah thats what i was thinking. if anyone tries to get me to relocate to palmers i will murder them tho, fair warning

haha you know i've never been to palmers, i really should go

nomad world pub isn't too bad tbh

EZ Snappin meet-n-greet/murder spree at Palmers

Fuckin, I wish I was there for this. Looking like my trip will be in mid august instead of this month.

I'm bummed I'm gonna miss you Jon. However, there is a slight chance of a whirlwind NYC trip in the beginning of August. I'll keep you updated.

Palmers, man

Xpost :D

haha you rascals

The Twin Cities make a real nice first impression. Looking forward to some time exploring and avoiding baseball related activities.

enjoy the polar vortex!

it's so glorious

It was 100° in Dallas yesterday. It's 63° here and I'm in heaven.

EZ Snappin, if you get a chance swing by Uncle Hugo's used SFF bookstore, one of my favorite places and very un-baseball. And the international bazaar thingy is right across the way.

(pardon me for making the leap that you dig SF/F from the fact that you love metal and comics-- a bit presumptive of me I admit)

Oh, I truly do love SF/F. No worries.

So is MPLS not a breakfast town or is it the kind of thing where your mom makes it for you therefore restaurants don't open until 12 in which case does anyone have a mom laying around. Nb I am at the Mariott by Nicollet

Hell's Kitchen on 9th iirc.

Tho I like Keys better, which is just under the Foshay tower.

huge breakfast town, seconding keys

Noted thank you

I'm noting it too. Thanks!

What's up with the strip joint that has a free hot dog bar?

haha which strip club is that Deja Vu?

Yup

RIP Buns n Roses

minnesota and its complementary processed meats <3

We were at the cool new Shinola store and it's across the street

does that bacon night still exist

there's still a lot of meat raffles in northeast

DJP, my wife wants to know if buns and roses was a real place

I regret that I was never old enough to go there before it closed.

I also regret that I would've been going for the roses.

indeed there was...googling turned up a pretty interesting story

there's also the "classy" on the Seville which is owned the brother of Marc Perlman of the Jayhawks

My mom lives in vadnais heights so I see a lot of meat raffle notices on the bars around there yeah. I have yet to partake of the experience myself. Just as when I was a child I never got to find out what the fuck a booya was.

bacon night is no more, sadly

btw EZ you are going to the metal story Into the Void Records right??

Definitely in the plans. Probably Wednesday

My mother has a knack for turning up randomly at meat raffles in the suburban burger taverns between Maple Grove and Big Lake, where she pisses off the regulars by generally winning more than half of the raffle prizes.

I had a banh mizza for dinner and my heart is filled with happiness.

oh shit we never set a time at the triple rock. lets say between 8 and 8:30 if that works for peeps.

i will be probably 9, depending on bedtime antic but i will see you there!
