Andi, what's the roadblock - is it working hours? Because I thought you guys were fairly close to the Twin Cities - 40 miles or so. Isn't that about half an hour via the freeway?
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Depends on where you want to be in the Twin Cities. Forty miles to the loop, 10 more to downtown.
The last ten in to the center of town were very gerrymandered back in the '60s and are only now being somewhat fixed. Road construction continues.

See, I probably have a skewed perception about a 50-mile distance. We live in SF and Nic's daily commute for two years was here to Milpitas: 60 miles each direction, every single day. And even though he now works in Redwood City (only 28 miles each way), we still drive down to feed our feral cat colony every two nights, without fail, and that's 52 miles each direction.
Yes, I know. Californians is weird.

But you are a cute weird.
Yup, on that weekend, I'll be scheduled to work 3pm-10pm (or maybe 11) both Saturday and Sunday. So, if we could meet up on either day later in the morning, I'd have time to lounge about with you lot then get to work - no plotting and planning how to get the time off. Mind you, at this point the real obstacle for getting the time off, is me knowing which day is the one to trade for. (And of course, the knowledge that I'll most likely be trading away the chance to have Daniel's birthday off, so as to be able to actually celebrate with him then).
Hmm, what are the chances that the weather will be nice enough that weekend that a nice picnic would appeal to all and sundry?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Would it be totally wrong of me to offer the idea of a Saturday brunch, say, 11ish?
It would not be wrong at all, and we have many options for said brunch. BBQ & blues, chi-chi fusion, bowling & organic food (which has the advantage of being close to Dreamworks and the tattoo parlor), etc. I'm skewing towards south Minneapolis/Uptown, because that's where I live, but we can go other places in North or Downtown if people prefer. Or even to (gasp! horror!) St. Paul.

I was also thinking about maybe sneaking a quickie trip out to the Mall of America...

Southerly is better for us.

quickie trip out to the Mall of America
No. Such. Thing. It's a long, sweaty love-making with plenty of foreplay while you pick out the main course. The only thing in my mind that competes with MoA isn't even in the U.S., it's in Singapore.

Heh. Sail, I've actually managed it. Went in for their Nordstrom Rack, got my leather Ralph Lauren jeans, got the hell out. Not sure I can do it again, but I haven the oxblood leather trousers - now too big on me, damn it - as living proof.
