Joe’s Garage is _great!_ And it’s right down the street from my apartment, so all the better for me. Hee hee. The food is quite good (and creative), and there won’t be an age problem. rubes has my vote. ---

Joe’s Garage? It sounds like a Frank Zappa reference, and any friend of FZ’s is a friend of mine. I’m there. Although there might now be enough space for all of us, from what I’ve heard Joe’s Garage isn’t very large… ---

Nah, the roof’s open for the summer so there’s plenty of room. Let’s just hope the weather cooperates. I’m all hungry for their food now. Is it dinner time yet? ---

Okay, I will give 24 hours for someone (someone who is actually attending this thing, lurker smart-asses!) to say No-go to Joe with a veto. (Got that, bro?) If not, then the plan is for Sunday July 16 at Joe’s Garage at 12:00 PM. Rock on, Mini Apple denizens.

You also might want to be careful walking down our mean streets. We’ve got a lot of North Coast/South Coast gang violence here. ---

I would attend, but my last ex-fiance has barred me from Minneapolis/St. Paul. If you have another one in 33 years, 10 months, I’ll be sure to make it. Sua ---

My apologies to AuntiCanty. I didn’t mean to step on your toes. I just re-read the thread and see Satan has appointed you to make the decision. I was distracted by the bullet points on what the criteria was, and somehow managed to miss your name, in bold none the less. \ ---

Hey, I really don’t care - I was trying to be democratic within a representative constitutional and shit.

For directions and pretty much everything else you need to know except for how the food tastes, you guys can go the the [Joe’s Garage web site](http://www.joes-garage.com/main/frames.htm). I hope it looks good to all the Twin Cities dopers! ---
