OMG...I got lost in Minneapolis in the dark..
Coming home in the dark the construction signs confused me and I went north when I should have gone south ...I was getting scared being in a strange city all alone at night...:scared: I was able to get off the highway and turn around but I have such bad night vision that I took a few wrong turns ..with all respect to the nice folk I saw tonight....I'm more than ready to go home...:(

5. I had dinner with Pierre, Ocelot Lydia Leftcoast and a few others
It was nice. Someone took pictures, unfortunately cause I look like shit. What I can say is I would like to award Pierre the purple plunger award for valor in the face of an aggressive restroom ...;)

11. Sorry you got lost! We should have given you a cell phone number
in case that happened. We should have warned you -- Minnesota has two seasons: Winter and Road Construction. Welcome to Road Construction Season. I hope you had a good time anyhow... It was nice to see you again! Have a good flight home. Maybe it won't be so windy.

14. Thanks
Yeah it did occur to me that I should have had contact info for someone actually there. I'm just glad I got turned around before I hit the downtown.. I'm notorious for losing myself in bad areas of big cities.... It was nice to see you guys..you need to come visit me sometime! :)

16. Come to St Paul
Our streets are seriously screwed up in their layout in contrast to Minneapolis. But oddly enough I have never been lost here. But, Minneapolis? I have gotten lost there more times than I care to recount. I think my brain turns off once I cross the Mississippi.

20. I had a great time at my first DU meetup
It was wonderful to meet the people behind the usernames. I know Pierre took some pix so I suspect we will be seeing those somewhere down the line.

Hope everyone enjoyed themselves!
