Hey Y’all, Meetup Tonight!
Twin Cities Tumblr Meetup, Part 2!
Tonight from 7 to 10PM with more to follow, no doubt.
Grumpy’s Bar & Grill in Downtown MPLS

Minneapolis, MN 55415 (Map)
A couple of quick notes:
1) Sorry kids, because of the Twins game it’s going to be a 21+ event.
2) We’ll be in the side room through the double doors on the west side of the bar.
3) One way or another we’ll have name tags for you to fill out. Don’t forget to include your Tumblr name.
4) There will be cheap PBR… bane or boon? You decide!
Gmail us at “twincitiestumblrmeetup” if you have any questions.
Hope to see you there!
Twin Cities Tumblr Meetup, Part 2!
Hey everyone, Chase over at Minus Manhattan pulled some strings and got us the side room at Grumpy’s Downtown for our next meetup.
But here’s the catch: it’s this Friday!
Twin Cities Tumblr Meetup, Part 2!

Whoa.
Apologies for letting this go, I’m super swamped over here!
Anybody want to take the reigns on this one? There’s a TON of interest in another Twin Cities Tumblr Meetup. Shoot me an email at twincitiestumblrmeetup[at]gmail[dot]com if you have a bit of time to help organize the next meetup. It shouldn’t be more then a few phone calls, emails and a Tumblr post or two.
I can help with the details, and would like to offer the West Bank Social Center as a meetup point for people planning to bike to the location. BTW, the overwhelming consensus was to make a night of it so a Friday or Saturday is probably best for us working stiffs.
Talking to Shanai, it sounds like Donny Dirk’s might not be the best place after-all. It really is quite tiny and the word on the street is that they, like Psycho Suzi’s are not super fond of large groups, but to be honest, I haven’t called them yet (this is why I need some help!).
So, just throwing it out there: Any other suggestions?
Folks, it’s time for another Twin Cities Tumblr meetup, and for my money, there’s only one place worth doing it: the newly opened Donny Dirk’s Zombie Den.
I checked this joint out last week and it’s pretty fantastic: not at all over the top and actually quite classy. In fact, if it weren’t for the intentionally bad horror flicks on the flat screen TVs or the emergency chainsaw behind glass (in case of zombie attack), you’d think you’ve been transported back to a secret prohibition style speakeasy. It’s giving me warm fuzzies just thinking about it!
The only thing is that it’s not super huge, so I should probably let them know we’re coming. Reblog or like this if you’re down and I’ll try to get a headcount before I give them a head’s up. Also, it might be a bit of a trek for some, but I think it will be well worth it. We could even organize a bicycle caravan out there.
In the meantime, read a bit more about the place here and check out the photos here.
And finally, a question: Should we do another happy hour or plan to make a night of it (my vote goes for the later!)?
It was wonderful to meet everyone. Huzzah!
And what a meetup it was!
The Tumblr meetup last night was fun. I had to leave when they kicked us out of the Bedlam for being too loud. Slightly drunk internet addicts and Dada performance pieces don’t mix well apparently.
More photos, unfortunately they’re mostly of the underneath variety.
The meetup was a hoot! More photos here. If you want to share any that you took, just drop me a note and I’ll put a link up. Next time… barbecue?
Hey Y'all, Meetup Tonight!
5 to 7PM @ The Bedlam Theatre (here’s a map)
First of all, Hell Yeah!
Now, here’s what you need to know about tonight: You’ll be greeted at the door (this is what it looks like) by somebody from The Bedlam. They will hook you up with a red name tag & Tumblr stickers (if you get there early enough) & also help you find the rest of us. There’s a bar on the first floor & another one up on the 2nd floor patio. We’ll probably be up on the patio if the weather holds.
And if all else fails, just look for my moustache or Andy’s beard!
There is another, probably larger, happy hour going on at the same time for the Twin Cities Daily Planet’s 3rd birthday party. They will be wearing blue name tags. They are awesome people & we encourage mingling. If you can’t come until after 7, no worries, I’m sure some of us will be around until at least 8 or so. At that point there is a performance called Dali/DADA, but the patio bar will be staying open so we can just play it by ear.
Everybody there will have name tags on, it’s going to be hilarious. See you soon!
!!! If you plan on attending please reblog or like this post so we can get an idea of how many people to expect. !!!
