I work in downtown Minneapolis and live in Eagan. Anyone else around here? * * * Most common question I ask: “What?” Most common question I get: “Are you really hearing impaired?” ---

Is that anywhere near Orlando, FL? Because, if so, we are neighbors. * * * Yes, the weather is the same up here. Yes, I play basketball. No, never heard a tall joke before. Aaaargh. ---

I used to be from MN. My family moved from Hibbing. I have relatives in Hibbing, Lino Lakes, St. Paul and Virginia * * * Just add water, it makes it’s own sauce! ---

OK Minnesotans! UncleBeer pointed me to this link, as I was posting that we should see if we can plan a s/d get together. I work in downtown minneapolis, and either here or St. Paul work out best for me. Any other takers? thanks ---

Me too! I live in north Minneapolis, and currently work in Eagan. I’d love to attend a SD GT. Usually the best bet is to pick a restaurant that everyone likes and can get to, and then meet there one weekend. ---

OK, time to start throwing some names into the ring… anyone up for Nye’s (the polka bar) Joe’s Garage (by Loring Park) CC:Club (uptown) anyplace else or do one of these work? ---

Rysdad, Punkyova, rubes, Lumpy, Per and me. Six people. Not bad! > [@](#): > > anyone up for Nye’s (the polka bar) > Joe’s Garage (by Loring Park) > CC:Club (uptown) Never been to any of them. I’d like to suggest somewhere with a semi-quiet atmosphere so we can talk. Other than that, beer must be available. My suggestion: Glueck’s (downtown Mpls) * * * Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, dogs are from Pluto. ---

Mull, I don’t think you anywhere near the OP, but you ARE close to me in Tampa. 🙂 * * * “Love given when it is inconvenient is the greatest love of all. Kindnesses that are shared at a high cost to oneself are the most dear.” Don’t know who said it, but I like it. ---

I’ve found Glueks to be loud, as the sounds keep resonating off all of the wooden funiture/walls, but would be up for giving it a shot. Now, what about a date and time? ---

I’m not hooked on Glueck’s, rubes. If you have a better suggestion… shoot, any one of the places you already mentioned is fine with me. In fact, Glueck’s food kinda bites. Forget I said Glueck’s, okay? Whatever the locale, I’d like to suggest Saturday, November 20, 6:00 P.M. ---

OK, If it’s alright w/everyone, let’s give Joe’s Garage a chance. Their slogan is “Reinventing American Food” and they actually got a write up in USA TODAY as one of the best restaurants w/outdoor seating in the US. If we go between 4-7pm m-f, everything is 2 for 1, too. ---

I meant to state between 4-7 m-f all DRINKS are two for one. (Screwdrivers, beer, cider, manhattens, whatever) ---

Works for me! Choose a day, y’all. The only day that I absolutely cannot come would be November 19. Oh - and tonight. ---

I gotta check my bank account and the mood of my main man… Can I let you know tomorrow? Oh… and I guess it’d be nice if it were attended by more people than just me and el rubes. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/minnesotan-dopers/11644.md?page=2)
