I am in Minneapolis for a conference next month. While I will be busy working and schmoozing, my flight does not leave until 4PM on Sunday July 16, so I would love to get together with some Dopers and have lunch (and maybe a trip to the airport!) that day.
If anyone is available and would like to get together, please post here!
Yer putz,

I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Two months, one week, six days, 12 hours, 22 minutes and 21 seconds.
2980 cigarettes not smoked, saving $372.58.
Life saved: 1 week, 3 days, 8 hours, 20 minutes.
I am up for all exotic cuisine, and I have yet to have Korean. I hope it’s spicy (and I’m glad I won’t have to sit next to me on the flight).
Ultimately, though I was in Minneapolis once, it was several years ago, so I will be putty in the hands of you locals as to what to eat or where.
Here is where I’ll be staying:
Radisson Plaza Hotel
35 S 7th St
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 339-4900
Bearing in mind that I will be there (until the usual checkout time) and have to get to the airport for a 4:00 PM flight, you guys tell me where and when and I’ll be ready!

Dude, you’ll be right downtown thus easily accessible to me. I’m up for doing something. Although a lot of people in the Twin Cities have an aversion to the Mall of America, it is extremely close to the airport, and there are a few bars and restaurants there
Bluesman and I will be in the Twin Cities area at that time, visiting my brother, who is not far from the Mall of America, IIRC.
Not being locals, we can’t make any intelligent suggestions for places (though the Mall would be the easiest for us to find), but we’ll almost certianly be there.
And we’ll drag my brother and SIL along, who I’ve been trying to get on the board for ages. Maybe seeing what a cool group you all are will finally do it.

Now, as I said, what we do and exactly when is up to you guys. As long as it’s casual dress and I have time to hang with you all and get to my plane in time, I am yours… Do with me what you want!
I would love to see any other people who are around and close…

Sorry Satan but no. I lived there a few years ago. Now, if you are ever in Dallas we’ll talk. Also, I hope that while you are in Minneapolis you’ll get the chance to go out and hear some bands.
Brit’s is on Nicollet Mall, just a few blocks south of Satan’s hotel. I can’t think of a better way to while away a few hours on a balmy July day than to sit outside Brit’s and toss back a Bass Ale or two. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join you guys as I’ll be out of town that weekend. Try to have fun without me.
Well, I would be delighted to join the Dopers for some shenanigans. Except that I imagine it would probably involve a bar of some kind, and I’m only 19. But do have fun with my city, just tell’m Freak sentya!
I was about to say the same thing. Sorry guys, I’d love to though. I think it’d be good, you know, with me being a newbie and everything. You could all come back to the boards and gush about how cool and sweet and charming and nice and cute I am.
I don’t want to go to a place that won’t allow younger Dopers in. After all, one of my favorite Dopers is only 16 (you’re welcome, SanibelMan), and I am dating someone who a couple of years ago was not 21 yet (iinsert pithy remark here).
Besides, it’s lunch time we’re talkiing about! And the last Doper gathering I was at was at a place where the malt beverage of choice was a milk shake!
So, unless you young’uns are teasing this old man, I will assume you can make it to whatever the other Dopers have planned!
So go ask your mommies permission, okay?

I’m nowhere near Minneapolis, and therefore can’t “get together”, but this is my 666th post, and I decided to find one of your threads and post it here, just for you, big guy.
