The Enchantment of Minnehaha Falls
beingblog:
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
(photo: ©Al Gage)
A long, prosperous winter is coming to pass. The spring thaw is upon us in Minnesota. And, it feels so necessary. But, it’s not without some remorse, especially when taking in the shocking beauty of Minnehaha Falls captured in such exquisite light. The creek is now assuming its dutiful labor, the water wresting and freeing itself...

Cutting the Cord #tvchat
Last night @dels and @cleverkate hosted a twitter chat on cutting the cord, based on the Geek Girls Guide Podcast Kyle was on last week outlining his media center system he uses at home. Cutting the cord is the idea of canceling cable TV and going Netflix and streaming only. It was a great chat, and nice to see a large number of people finding different ways to get what they want, without the need...

My iPhone Drama
My plan all along has been to get a new iPhone (5 or whatever it’s called) and switch to Verizon or AT&T this summer when my Sprint contract ends, but in comparing prices with what we now pay for Sprint, I’m having a very hard time justifying the cost. It seems like it would cost an extra $25 or more a month (from $123 to $150 for a family plan after corporate discount). Forget...

What we’ll lose when Garrison Keillor retires |... →
And it’s true: Some Minnesotans really hate Garrison Keillor. But the same is true of almost any celebrity. Ask if they like Celebrity X, and it’s either yes or no, love or hate. What’s different about this debate is the passion. Minnesotans have strong opinions about Garrison Keillor. He is a man people argue over.
Nice little write up on GK from the AV Club.

Fuck Yeah Doomtree: 5 SXSW Bands You Need To Know →
fuckyeahdoomtree:
1.) Doomtree: If we were an AutoTune-, airhorn-happy hip-hop artist who saw Minneapolis hip-hop collective Doomtree’s SXSW set at Mohawk, we’d unplug our 808 forever and start looking into nighttime accounting classes. Dessa, P.O.S, Cecil Otter, Mike Michtlan, SIMS and the rest of the Doomtree crew blew up like a Dumpster full of dynamite, showcasing enough collective...

End of the Gopher/Sioux Rivalry?
heh. with Big Ten Hockey, ND leg really screwed UND over w/ mandating Sioux nickname. UMinn won’t play except for conference obligations. (@mnblrmkr)
I totally didn’t even think of this. Unless the Sioux change their name, we could be nearing the end of the Gopher/Sioux rivalry. The University of Minnesota made the decision to not play UND in football or basketball (UND is D1 now),...

Kevin Smith, Twins executive director of public affairs, on ticket sales Sunday.
OMG!
Sure, if you are looking for 2 tickets to a week night game against the Indians, but if you wanted 6 tickets together, or a pair for the Red Sox series, you were screwed. Heck, I was in the virtual waiting room...

Welcome to the great Minneapolis Fish Fry Club recap! Coming to you live from St. Albert the Great in Seward. And by live, I mean five days late, because I’ve been learning how to do stuff like this:
St. Albert the Great is in Longfellow. Respect :)

Diary of a Part-time Monk →
This is crazy, but really cool.
Working to nourish their bodies through during the lengthy 46-day fast during Lent, the Paulaner monks of Neudeck ob der Au in Munich are credited with developing the doppelbock style of beer. Packed with carbohydrates, calories and vitamins, this unfiltered “liquid bread” sustained the monks from Ash Wednesday to Easter, and over 300 years later, the rich history...

Best to Worst: 2011 MLB On-Field Baseball Caps →
wintwins:
3. Minnesota Twins- The Twins have two unique hats that open two different chapters in franchise history. The first being the “TC” (Twin Cities) version from the days of Killebrew, Oliva and Carew. The second being the “M” version that conjures memories of Puckett, Hrbek and Jack Morris. The Twins hat is that of the anti-Yankee (small market).
This fits well with last week’s...

Time to answer the question: What’s better... →
I’ve never been to Texas, but it just seems like it’s a much bigger deal than MN Hockey. Regardless of which is better, the Minnesota High School Hockey Tournament is one of the greatest sports events in Minnesota, if not the entire country.

The Great "TC" or "M" Twins Hat Debate →
wintwins:
Click through to take the poll.
I will stab anyone that likes the “M” hat over the “TC” hat. Yes, the M is a very cool logo, but in no way is it better than the classic. :)

Referent Vodka at Moscow on the Hill | The Heavy... →
ericaaaaa:
A week or so ago there was a neighborhood round-up on places to drink in Cathedral Hill. The Muddy Pig, the Happy Gnome, and Sweeney’s were all included (and those are all fine places). I am not linking to this, though, because it was stupid - they completely neglected Moscow, which has awesome martinis, a drink with cherry vodka AND champagne, and free vodka shots on your birthday!...

Section Finals at Mariucci Recap - Western College... →
Most serious hockey fans in the Twin Cities will tell you that there is no better night of hockey in the area than the double-header section finals of Sections 2AA and 6AA and after two kind of down years, this year’s installment at Mariucci Arena lived up to the hype.
I couldn’t agree more with this comment. This is my favorite night of the year when it comes to hockey in...

“I think the closing of Tillie’s is illustrative of a larger issue in my neighborhood, not just the coffee shop itself. One could argue that there just isn’t enough neighborhood support, but I’ve seen successful coffee shops in quieter neighborhoods, so I don’t buy it. A critical issue is Tillie’s had no other complementary retailers on the corner. A sandwich shop or other lunch place or...
