Any dopers in the Minneapolis area interested in spending time with a perfect stranger, staring at a coffee cup, watching the clock, waiting for the time when politeness allows for leaving?

I’m at a conference this week, Tuesday to Thursday. I don’t know the city so someone else will have to come up with a location.

I could be convinced. I’ll be in uptown on Thursday, likely 😉

Always nice to see a fellow canadian… what is your schedule like?

Thursday around 1200 hrs would work for me.

I’d love to, but unfortunately, I’m just far enough out in the suburbs that mid-day get togethers are infeasible. Have fun though! :: waves towards the Cities ::

The Twin Cities Dopers do need to have a Dope Fest sometime.

Wednesday evening is also an option for me. I don’t know about **Elenfair** though.

Unfortunately, I’m also in the to-far-from-downtown group. My boss just doesn’t seem to understand the need for a 3hr coffee break. Enjoy Minneapolis, Greenback.

And bring a coat!
