Gopher Bar, first full week of August...Tuesday or Thursday? The 6th or 8th. Any notable objections to those two dates?

Objection to the Gopher Bar, and I suspect I'm not alone.

Never been, never heard of it, wouldn't mind trying it out, but work in the west metro till 6, so making a happy hour there probably not doable for me.

Don't mean to be a pro-Minneapolis snob, but I kinda think happy hours in St. Paul are a challenge for many of us car-free/lite UrbanMSPers that live in Minneapolis. When the Green Line opens up, we've got another situation.

As mattaudio mentioned, many UrbanMSPers live in south-south Minneapolis, particularly in the Nokomis-Hiawatha-Longfellow communities. Town Hall Tap maybe? That's a neighborhood we haven't been to. Or the newest addition, Town Hall Lanes, opens on the 19th. I would totally stick around and bowl after the group shrinks a little bit following the happy hour event.

And as for the Gopher Bar, I really don't think our group would fit in so well at a place where they probably have confederate flags or other racist and/or homophobic regalia decorating the walls. If you want to go eat a coney sometime, I'm down, but I don't think a sanctioned outing is in line with the image/values of the forum.

I was half joking about the Gopher Bar. I ran into Bill Lindeke over at the Amsterdam a week or two ago, and he told me to give it a try rather than disparaging it as the racist and mean-spirited bar I've always heard it to be.

Y'all welcome to come down to my fair Northrop neighborhood for Happy Hour. How 'bout the Cedar Inn on Tuesday for $1.50 bottles of High Life?

is great.

We can't agree on multi-way boulevards or form-based zoning, but I fully endorse the Cedar Inn.

Didn't realize Gopher Bar was controversial, never been.

In the interest of potentially getting MNdible to come to one of these, let's go with the Cedar Inn. August 6th or 8th?

Mah berf-day is the 9th, so you all can buy my drinks. I'm in! I vote the 8th, because I might actually take the day off on Friday for my birthday for the first time in like a million years.

Can people who aren't very good at socializing but like UrbanMSP come?

I have actual prizes if we want to do a triva-like thing again. And no, I'm not talking about re-gifting the thingie my team won at trivia last time. I have a bunch of cool trinkets to give away.

I have confirmed that regular softball season is done so we should be able to snag some tables.

Argh. I was excited to finally make it to one of these, but my apartment moving process has taken much longer than expected, and I have to finish tonight, since the lease is up tomorrow. Next time, for real this time!
