Hmm... let me think aloud......

Since there may be non-MSPers there, I wonder if we can do something that #1. showcases Mpls. (other than the MOA), and #2, is accessible in case people don't have transportation. I'm thinking maybe something near downtown Mpls, or toward the airport........ Lake Nokomis/Lake Calhoun/Lake Harriet or Minnehaha Falls?? a cookout by the lake? Maybe something with a transportation angle: Lake Harriet streetcar? Minnehaha Park light rail line? (not much to see now...) Or.... maybe downtown Mpls by the river, although MN isn't land of 10,000 rivers...... :P

Loring Park/Sculpture Garden?? It's walking distance to the Hyatt, Hilton, etc.

Just some thoughts... and BoSoxFan, thanks for stepping up to help!
