This is tomorrow--judging from the invite, there will be at least a couple of the Hennepin County District 3 candidates (plus Eric Roper?) so that's kinda neat. The reservation for the Local is at 5 PM for "the hightops in the back" but I'll be there pretty early.

[NickP]

Have fun guys. I wish I could make it.

[sad panda]

Wish I could make it. I hope someone takes good notes; I'm curious to see what the candidates say.

My wife may also be at a separate HH at the Local today. Is it cool if she joins us when it's over??

[PhilmerPhil]

No. Boys only.

[FISHMANPET]

Haha, My wife also wanted to come with and I was like "really? It's just gonna be a bunch of nerds talking about buildings and transit."

[RailBaronYarr]

She's pregnant with a boy, does that count?

[Viktor Vaughn]

Congrats RBY!

My wife may also come with because she never tires of hearing me talk about wonky stuff with urbanism friends.

[PhilmerPhil]

Maybe we could all bring our wives/girlfriends and they can talk about how annoying it is to be with a city nerd.

My lady has the flu and would never attend anyways, so I'm doubly off-the-hook tonight.

Also, I'm off work early today and don't work tomorrow! Make it a quadruple!

Excite!

Is it weird that I'm slightly jazzed to take the 18 downtown for this? I've been driving to work in the burbs for over a year and now that I work full time and passed age 30, my concert/show/bar attendance downtown has dropped off to near zero. I walk and bike around Whittier/Uptown. I haven't taken the bus in FOREVER.

Have fun guys!! Wish I could make it, but I've got a conference in Bloomington that goes till 6. Have one for me!

[woofner]

For the record, I'm totally on board with you guys bringing your wives' and girlfriends' single female friends.

FYI for those not on Twitter, the Buzzword Bingo Prize is this awesome throwback "Uptown, Minneapolis, Minn. 1986-87" poster!

Sorry but this weather will keep me away for this time.

[FISHMANPET]

Sorry but this weather will keep me away for this time.

I think this is going to be the case for me as well. Just too cold to think.
