Anybody for a Twin Cities meetup over Thanksgiving?

[no name no slogan]

I will have a very special DU visitor in town over that long weekend, and was wondering if anybody would like to get together the night of 11/25 or 11/26?

My visitor is DUer Sugar Smack, from Chapel Hill, NC. This is her first visit to our fair cities, and I want to show her how great our local DU cabal really is.

Anybody up for it?


PS: Here's a recent photo of us, from my visit to her in late September:

4. Awww, I plan to be out of town that weekend.

Say hi to Sugar Smack!

I take it you met on DU?:loveya:

7. Indeed we did!

We've been together since August. I've been down to Chapel Hill twice and this will be her first trip up here. Her dad is a retired linguist, and I brought her a copy of "How To Talk Minnesotan" on my last trip, so hopefully she won't have any problem understanding us. She's also a big fan of "Fargo", too, so that helps.

:D

6. Awwww.....

:-)

Yes, I'd be delighted to attend a weekend meetup and meet Ms. Sugar Smack, as well as seeing all my favorite Minnesota DUers again.

8. I have not attended a DU meetup yet

but my mom (Love Bug) has, I might be able to make it on the 26th.

9. I could probably make a Meetup that weekend

and it'd be fun to meet Sugar Smack :hi:

10. I could probably make a meetup that weekend

And any excuse to get together with my fellow MNDUers is always a good idea.

11. By the way...

....nice to note that you put all that time in the lounge to good use.

;)

13. Indeed!

It's not just my lame attempt to pad my posts.

Can't wait to vote tomorrow. My polling place is 1/2 a block away from my new apt. And I get to vote for Chris Coleman! What could be better?

Yes indeed, life is looking pretty good right now :D

14. Looks like we almost have a quorum!

I'm thinking something in St. Paul, if that works for people. Maybe the Liffey again? Or maybe someplace more out in the neighborhood? Someplace union is preferable, as is one on the buslines.

Any ideas?

[Zookeeper]

12. Oooh, that sounds great!

But we will have to come up with someplace impressive for our first time visitor....Any ideas so far?

15. i can go

as long as it's somewhere in the cities. if it's in teh burbs, it makes it harder to tkae the bus there, especially on the weekends.

16. I liked the Liffey

:-)

:toast:

17. I could go for The Liffey again

That was a good locale last time.

19. Where is The Liffey?

I have never been there

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. Downtown St. Paul

Not hard to find, even for me, and I'm a born and bred Minneapolitan.

18. Count me "IN".

Hi All,
I'm back in St Paul and would love to see y'all again.

[dpbrown]

24. Welcome back!

Good to have you back amongst us!

:toast:

[question everything]

21. I was just wondering about gathering for the "hollydazzle"

when does it start, anyway?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. I don't know, but we really should try for Thanksgiving weekend

to coincide with Ms. Smack's visit to our fair state.

I mean, no name no slogan wants to introduce his ladyfriend to the Minnesota DUers. This is starting to sound kind of serious. :-)

23. Let's give this important message a Minnesota Donkey Kick
