So, um, anyone in Minneapolis?

[Bernadine]

Because it looks like I'll be there for the month of September.  I was previously told I'd be within 2 hours driving distance of where I live.  And today I get my actual assignment- Minneapolis.  WHICH IS MUCH FURTHER FROM BALTIMORE THAN 2 HOURS!  Lol.

[revolution]

I could think of much better places that are within 2 hours of Baltimore.

There isn't much in Minnesota outside of the Twin Cities. Except corn and cows.

 I live in a Mpls suburb now, but grew up in far Northern Minnesota (the "arrowhead")... it is basically just a whole lot of lakes. And some mines. Not a ton of corn or cows, but some. Super exciting, indeed! 

Oh but don't forget about Duluth!

 The north shore is probably my favorite place in the world.

[melindafelinda]

I think there are seriously 35 people here that live in MN. That is crazy.

(I made up that number.)

Of course.  But still not many people.

So. If there is a GTG, I might suck it up and try to make an appearance even though I'm "unknown".
I am all for meeting new people. Also, any excuse to have a drink or four.

I went to a MN GTG and I was so terrified I spent the majority of the night trying not to nervously giggle at everything.

[thedutchgirl]

We have a gang sign.

I would love to make it to a GTG - the last one didn't work out but I think I've grown the balls to show up and drink.

Lurker/responder checking in. Saturday, Sept 6th and Sunday the 7th is the Little Falls Craft Fair! Yes, something outside of the twin cities with more people than you care to encounter in a day.

Sounds fun, but for a GTG I think I am more of a "let's go out and drink and be ridiculous" type rather than a "let's go to a craft fair" type

Also, that will be the one weekend of September that I would definitely not be able to make it.
