I noticed a page go up on JAMF Nation inviting people to setup their own birds of a feather/mini-events. As with many cities, one of the things that’s great about Minneapolis is the vibrant craft brew movement here. So, I decided to build a list, with contact information and the distance to the Guthrie. Happy times setting up events. Or if you visit in the future, hope you find it useful! The list is available here. Eventually I’ll try and write up a description of each. I omitted any place that isn’t actually a brewery, but there are some really great tap rooms as well!

One Last MinneDemo For The Year In Minneapolis
The vibrant technology community here in Minneapolis has at least one more event left in the waning days of 2012. And to wrap the year, 7 minute demos with no presentations at MinneDemo, a bar camp-esque event focused around demoing new tech. I love the cookouts these guys have, but it’ll probably be too cold and snowing to have dozens of people milling around a keg, so let’s go indoors and watch people demo tech that hopefully works. A little of what they have in store for us (to quote their site): As always, MinneDemo features home-grown tech without the BS. The rules are simple: 7 minutes, real working technology,…

animinneapolis vs. Dragons vs. Norway
Summer in Minnesota always comes with plenty of fun stuff to do. There are the really big events, such as the Basilica block party. But, not feelin’ the events at the Basilica? Never heard of the acts on the Warped Tour? Like Anime? Cosplay? The nerdiness abounds at animinneapolis. If you’d rather see the real thing in action though, check out the Dragon Festival over at Lake Phalen Park. The Dragon Boat Race is awesome! And if you’re looking for something a bit more traditional, check out the Raspberry festival out in Hopkins. All this stuff is going on all weekend (not the block party, since it is at a…

Strange Brew At the Minnesota State Capitol
It seemed like any other trip to the gas station. I walked in and saw the guy behind the counter. He gave me a nod and I gave him a nod back. I found the Dr. Pepper stack, which I noticed was exactly as I left it during my last visit and pulled a pair of twelve packs up. I walked to the counter and a line seemed to have formed. The old lady got her Benson and Hedges 100s, the kid behind her bought a Whatchamacallit (I had no idea they still made those) and then the guy who wanted lottery tickets stepped up to the plate. Up to…

Regrettably, I’m on my way to the airport, but if you’re in Minneapolis today and looking for something fun to do, check out Minnebar-b-que down in Maple Grove. There is sure to be plenty of brats, some beer and maybe a tablet PC or 4: http://anyvite.com/4atmfqaioc

Bunny Clogs @ Southern Theater
The Bunny Clogs are coming back to Minneapolis, and now in support of an upcoming album! According to the Southern Theater’s site: The Bunny Clogs is Shel Silverstein-meets-Prince surreal dance fun. The debut record More! More! More!, led by Honeydogs frontman Adam Levy, is not your run-of-the-mill, strummy, folky kids’ music. Part comedy routine with weird characters, part dance party with all the attendant drum loops, house beats and hip-hop accoutrements, and part subtle message of peace, love and positive gastronomy, Bunny Clogs is music for kids of all ages. The show is at 11am, the morning of Halloween, early enough for a slightly later than usual nap time (for…
