juliana, add what is, I think, the only branch of Last Call - Neiman Marcus' outlet store, where you can everything from Badgeley Mischka evening gowns to 18th century pottery from China at prices reminiscent of Target - in that entire time zone.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Shopping in general is another plus for Minneapolis, especially with Juliana to show you around to the good places.
Not that I spent a boatload of money there or anything.

That bookstore that Neil Gaiman deals with. DreamHaven?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I haven't been to Minnesota. I'm on the Minneapolis train! Woot!
...And your zoo has a spotted skunk! And a siberian tiger and a takin and a musk ox and a moose and pronghorn and Przewalski's horse and Rothschild's mynah! Oh, Lordy, and a clouded leopard.
I'm sold.

billytea, are you into fish too? Amphibians? Albino alligators?

And more shopping, of the kind one appreciates after getting completely into the "oh my dear whatever on a pogo stick, please be kidding me" headspace:
The Mall of America.

I've checked through the Louisiana zoo and aquarium websites already. The white alligators (IIRC, it's not an albino, it's leucistic - blue eyes instead of pink - and once appeared on the Jeff Corwin Experience) is a drawcard. But I think I'm going to plump for Minneapolis. To me, the selection is more exotic.

Dana, do you want me to do NO, or you?

You've been working on it, haven't you? I'm happy to toss in more pros and cons, but organization is not my strong suit at the moment.
Personally, I don't understand why "But it's NEW ORLEANS" isn't convincing people. Hmph.
(That's a joke. Please don't defend your city preference to me.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That bookstore that Neil Gaiman deals with. DreamHaven?
Oh, yes. And ocassionally sightings of the Man himself. As well as ocassional Sam Shepard, Jessica Lange, Walter Mondale....
billytea, there's also The Como Zoo, which has everything that the MN Zoo doesn't. Also, a Japanese Tea Garden, which I adore.
Przewalski's horse
Oh, yeah! I love it. And otters. I love the otters.
