Never heard of it…

Are you a Minnesotan?

I will not be able to make it this friday, and next friday as well as tues/thurs are out. Who’s up for a hump-day s/d get together? Somebody pick which wed, and let’s go. (or you can all meet this friday and make up stories about me…)

I thought I’d bump this back up for the MNDopers review. Wednesdays would also work for me.

Maybe someplace on the 494 strip?

Regardless of if the MN SDMBers arrange their own gettogether:

The Mpls/StP chapter of the BBS Awareness Campaign is hosting an all-BBS get-together for anyone in the Twin Cities who wants to attend. We’re hoping to have one every third Saturday of each month. The next one is  
Saturday, November 20th (one week from today) at Godfather’s Pizza in  
Burnsville - the one across from Burnsville center.

For you “northerners” here’s some directions: coming from the north on I-35  
you exit on County Road 42 and go right \<west\> like you’re going to  
Burnsville Center but STAY IN THE \>\>RIGHT\<\< LANE. Go straight through the  
next intersection & take the next right after that; it’s between a bank & a  
small strip mall. This "T"s & if you take a left then right you should have  
Godfather’s pizza right in front of you.

There’s some confusion as to the time. Some of us want it at 1 while another faction is leaning towards 2 so I’d say come sometime around then! 🙂  
(Personally if we’re going to have pizza…\<G\>) Ahem, anyway, I’m going to  
go early & if the party room is available I’ll try and get it & perhaps we can then use the VCR/TV for some anime!! (Gloria sighs)

See you there!!

My apologies for missing out on the BBS festivities. My pc crashed, and it’s still not 100%. Any chance of anyone wanting to get together in the first few weeks of Dec?

**rubes** and I actually spoke on the phone today!

It was weird but good.

Anyway, we decided to take this back to the top so we can try to get the Minnesotan Dopers together again.

**Lumpy** , I’m sorry I missed your attempt.

I vote for Joe’s Garage and can go any day this week (with a day’s notice because I ride the bus).

Come on, guys! Let’s drink some beer and get stupid! (Or more stupid, as the case may be.)

Is Mayslack’s still there?? Stood in line outside the door there a few times - always worth the wait!

Love their motto: “You just can’t beat Mayslack’s meat!”

I’ll be at Joe’s around 5:00PM, maybe earlier if I can duck out of work early.

Figured I should post to this thread, too.

Sadly, I cannot make it tonight.

Dammit, dammit, dammit!

**ATTENTION: ALL FOUR MINNESOTAN DOPERS**

Yes, you. Put down that nasty lutefisk and listen up.

Due to severe lack of funds and the busy holiday season, tonight’s festivities have been cancelled.

I’m sure all 3,414 of the other registered SDMB members are terribly disappointed.

Then again, maybe it’s just me and rubes.

::sigh::

We’ll try again in 2000.

Gettogethers are notoriously difficult to schedule. Did anyone decide to meet at the MOA yet?
