  1. FYI, Pryes is only a half mile from Bar La Grassa and is an easy walk. It'll be popping on a day like this I bet.
  2. InBound sucks. Fulton is a great spot before and after Twins games, but can be sleepy otherwise. Psycho Suzi's and Betty Danger (same owner) have never really done it for me. Have fun at Bar La Grassa!
  3. It'll happen. Give them another 13 or 14 years.
  4. Just checked out the week's events and it looks fun as hell. Things that stood out to me: Monday 12:00-8:00 Urban Growler and Todd Haug collaboration. (It's F'ng Todd Haug. And Urban Growler's a fun spot) Monday 3:00-6:00 Happy hour at the falls (This is at Minnehaha Park. Even on a meh day it's a great spot to take in the sights and see the falls) Tuesday 3:00 IPA showdown at UpDown (it's a really cool old school arcade in the Uptown area) Wednesday 5:00-8:00 Bent Paddle Smack Shack tap takeover. (Smack Shack's a cool spot, and Bent Paddle is some of the best beer in the state- Out of Duluth) Thursday 2:00-8:00 Dangerous Man parking lot party. (These guys are cool, and a bunch of other breweries are close by)
  5. You here yet @patrickdrinksbeer? I want updates. Also, are there any conference events or activities that I may want to crash?
  6. Oh I think he's genuine, just incredibly naive. Can't wait until he gets blitzed with scat porn and k-pop. Free Speech!!!11
  7. Looks like old wheel and squeal is no longer the GOP's useful idiot.
  8. I guess we'll see what happens with Twitter, but for now I'll just say that I'm relieved that Elon isn't a natural born citizen.
  9. Can anyone explain the "not a sport" comments that follow any tweet that ESPN or Bleacher puts out regarding baseball or hockey?
  10. Yeah. Was just about to edit after, you know, actually reading the article. It's interesting.
  11. Sample size is 12,000. Aside from that, my guess is that it's the Q in LGBTQ. It's a pretty broad category.
  12. OK. Look. I'm pretty sure I'm in the exact same camp as you on this issue, so is it alright that that phrase made me wince? I mean that was literally my visceral reaction to it.
  13. Shit. Yeah I guess so. Didn't see that.
  14. Ha. No offense taken. I'm neither a hipster nor a MSP/SP resident ( I'm in Arden Hills). Bauhaus has a great outside area if the weather's nice, I'm just not into what they're best at. (Pilsners and Gose's). Similar thing with Utepils. Great tap room but German(ish) beers just aren't my preference. As for Surly... I get it, but come on. He has to go there. It's a cool spot, they usually have some rare and aged stuff, and -most importantly- it's fresh at the brewery. The main reason I don't buy surly retail anymore is because the distributor sits on that shit for weeks before putting it in the trucks.
  15. That's a good time to come. Bummer that the Twins won't be in town. I'm really not aware of many new and trendy spots downtown, but some of the spots already listed in this thread are gone, so I'll restate my favorites. Spoon and Stable- Get a reservation soon Bar La Grassa- I've never been disappointed Butcher's Tale- Used to be Butcher and the Boar. The place to go for a whiskey drink. Union Hmong Kitchen- This one's pretty new and I haven't been yet, but it's a Beard nominee and where the hell else are you going to get Hmong food than the Twin Cities (huge community here)? Key's Cafe- Hangover breakfast. Freehouse- It's more of a restaurant, but they brew their own beer and it's location is a perfect lunchtime jumping off point for a North Loop beer crawl. Trivia Mafia- If you like trivia, this company operates hosts trivia at a bunch of different spots. Their website will tell you what you need to know. Breweries... Damn, there's so many. First, read this to help develop a plan: https://wanderlustinreallife.com/twin-cities-brewery-crawl/ My favorites (in no particular order) are Modest, Pryes, Duel Citizen, Fulton, Surly, Indeed, Barrel Theory, Tin Whiskers, Dangerous Man. That's off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm missing some. Oh, one more. Though I don't go there often, you may really appreciate the concept behind The Lab https://thelabmn.com/
  16. Both methods are still taught. The theory behind Hands Only CPR is that in the first few minutes after arrest, 1) Circulation is more important than air, and 2) most bystanders do traditional CPR wrong- wasting too much time giving breaths before getting back to compressions. Hands Only CPR is simply more idiot proof. Just find the right spot, find the right pace, and push down hard. With fast response times for EMS, along with the prevalence of AEDs (defibrillators) in most public locations, It usually buys enough time.
  17. You're my guy then. Going with wife and kids (12 and 14) in late March. Looking for a Bonvoy property close to the action but not in it. Currently leaning the Marriott Warehouse because of it's proximity to the WWII Museum and relative distance from the nighttime debauchery. Doesn't seem to have an indoor pool though, which sucks but is not a deal killer. Which others should I be looking at? I'd prefer to not need a car but it's an option.
  18. That Ferris wheel scene is a masterpiece.
  19. I just read that article. I honestly can't believe it. What the fuck.
