The Temporary Tat Family

Bonus: guess which one is the Minnesotan.

First stop

Perfect.

Progress

I can buy wine in this airport. Copious amounts if I like.

Minnesota, get your act together.

Upright position

Just landed. I am currently what you would call 'giddy'.

Boarding

Can't tell if my hands are shaking from the lack of a breakfast this morning or that I just managed to board luggage that is several inches larger than the TSA's allowed dimensions.

L'areroport

Of all the things things that went under redesign the past decade in airports, the standard payphone has kept resilient. There are a TON of them. Everywhere.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I start drinking PBRs like they're coming back in style.

Arriving in the Twin Cities I arbitrarily gravitate towards Minneapolis even though I haven't heard from anyone just yet. Shortly after parking in Uptown I realize a trip to my Saint Paul stomping grounds is in order. One quick stop in Fifth Element later, I'm on my way.

Near the exit for Grand Ave the radio is slathered with Minnesota State Fair celebration. Being unable to justify battling that parade for such a short time I decide on a beer at Sweeny's followed by a walk along the main road. But *just* as I exit my car I notice a message and missed call from Austin. Thirty seconds later it's back towards Minneapolis.

Eventually I find my destination and commence enjoying good company and tasty brews with great friends. Conversations lilt from food poisoning to movies to fencing. And once again I feel grateful to have made it to another random meet-up.

The Moses Turtleneck Experience

Getting the band back together. Gonna be huge.
