Man oh man, it's here!

As promised in a previous post, ol Pun Daddy-Oh has got us covered for tomorrow night's plans.

If everyone arrives on time all parties should be on the ground by 5 pm. Once we're organized at the crib, here's what I'm thinking. My thought is that we keep it pretty close to our lodging on night one. There will be plenty of time to explore the city later in the week, if you so choose.

1. Surly - HEY DANNO IT'S A BREWERY! 10 minutes from the crib on our side of town.

This is MPLS's (MPLS is local slang for the city. I am here to educate you!) original brewery and enormous facility. It has a huge outdoor area that should be good for our group. Downstairs they have a restaurant and on the second floor they do pizza.

We'll see how the night goes but this might be our first and last stop.

2. The Loring - 5 blocks from our place.

This is the backup plan if eating at Surly seems like not a good idea. Surly's food gets good reviews but if it's too crowded it might be hard to accommodate our group. If we start at Surly it won't be a big deal to relocate back to The Loring, since it's on the way back to our crib.

* Yelp stars aren't great but they closed and re-opened recently. It comes recommended.

3. Kitty Cat Klub - one block from The Loring, 6 blocks from our place

For those of you/us brave enough to keep the night going before we've hit the floor, here's a spot. It looks really chill (I don't love that word but it's the most accurate adjective) and should match the Wednesday night vibe. Don't forget, we don't play until 12:30 on Thursday.

There's a few DJ's spinning Wednesday night but no cover charge.

Last order of business: Two days out and we're still searching for a solution to the scorekeeper/scoreboard operator. We've got a lot of calls out but everyone should be prepared that they'll have to take a shift or two at the scoreboard when they're out of the game. If you can think of any other solutions, let us know.
