First off, I know this post has a ton of words in it, but that’s just how it has to be. This is a current list of Minnesota organizations that have a Tumblr, follow them if it strikes your interest. Secondly, if your name is on this list, TAG YOUR POSTS WITH LOCAL KEYWORDS. Folks, I’ve said this…

Yes, Uptown suffers from a personality crisis, but it’s also vibrant and undeniably walkable

It’s caught between a low-rent, artsy McPunk past and an absurdly gentrified present. But Miriam Rudolph’s etchings, Dave Eggers’ drawings and two side-by-side windows beckon.

Third Annual Dagos at Dusty’s on Groundhog Day Meetup! photo by djsime

It is that time of year again, to make a hastily arranged Tumblr meetup at Dusty’s Bar in northeast Minneapolis.

In past years, about a dozen or so people have shown up each time, and it has been a blast. So, now that leaves the details…

What time is it at?
Some people may be there by six to secure some tables, but let’s just say it “officially” starts at 7:00pm.

Do I need to be 21 to get into Dusty’s?
No. You must be 21 to drink of course.

How will I know who the Tumblr people are at Dusty’s when I walk in?
Excellent question. If you walk in by yourself or with a friend, and look lost while scanning the (small) bar, somebody is sure to slur “Hey, you do the Tumblr thing?”. Just smile and stick out your hand to introduce yourself.

What if I have questions about the event, who would I ask?
If you have any questions, just send Paul an email at stuffaboutminneapolis@gmail.com

Let’s do this.

“Every culture has different foods that are socially acceptable to eat. Thus, growing up in England, Squirrel was never part of my diet. But for John Ny Vang, who is from Laos but has lived in Minnesota for the last 30 years, Squirrel is just like any other meat. A few weeks ago, he took me out on a hunting expedition …to shoot the little guys. Squirrels were shot, and squirrels were eaten… and they were delicious! Believe it or not, I went back for seconds and thirds.” -Daniel Klein
