What: Regular Bi-Weekly MNFurs meetup, a general social gathering.
When: Every other Saturday evening starting at 5:00 pm to whenever. Perkins is open 24 hours, so feel free to stop by throughout the night. (Check event calendar for Perkins’ meet dates)
What to bring: Yourself, cash for food: This is a “Social Dinner” meet and greet, and Perkins Restaurant & Bakery in Hopkins has been our gracious host for over six years. We want to keep a good reputation, so buying something at the restaurant supports our groups continued presence there.
People are welcome to bring small portable electronics such as Nintendo 3DS’, iPads or laptops but please note there is limited power there. Be prepared to run a laptop on battery power if you can.
Other favorite activities include drawing and playing games. Bringing a sketchbook or a card/board game to share with others is not a bad idea, table space permitted.

Notes:
We have a sectioned off “room” in the back where we meet up. As you enter the restaurant go all the way to the back and right; we meet behind the portioned space in the back corner of the restaurant.
It can get crowded in Perkins, especially during prime-time. Please be patient with the wait staff and be courteous to people needing to get through. We realize that there are a limited number of tables and chairs available. It’s more often than not standing room only. If you want to get a table outside our reserved area to eat, please get seated by a host, rather than just grabbing a table in another section of the restaurant. Also, please do not block the fire exit in the rear corner of the room.
