Due to popular demand we are excited to announce the Bi-Weekly meet on July 19th will be moved to try out a new venue, the Machine Shed Restaurant in Lake Elmo, MN.
The space we will be getting is double the size of what we have at Perkins and more private. We will have the room to ourselves with no need for overflow seating. There is not going to be the classic “the space is full” problem here!
Date: Saturday July 19th
Time: 5:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: Machine Shed Restaurant 8515 Hudson Blvd N, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 (The venue is right off of 94 and is easy to get to from the Interstate, very close to the 694/94 E Junction) Map Here
Food: American (A notch above Perkins)
Cost: $10-15 average Entree
Fursuit Friendly?: No, please leave full and Partial suits at home.
Notes:This is an alternate meet and a trial run. Future meets will still occur as scheduled at Perkins. If the location is liked by our community members we may hold another meet or event here in the future.
Buying a meal here and not bringing any outside food or beverages really helps us out! There is also a $300 group minimum food order for us to get the venue without having to pay a rental fee. So if we meet this goal we’ll be able to use this venue and look into other venues like this as a place for future events.

Since the Machine Shed closes a tad earlier then we are used to (10pm) would anyone be interested in a post-meet? There is a 24hr IHop in Oakdale about 2 miles away that has a smaller backroom we could see about getting for those still wanting to hang out past 10.-- MNFurs Photography Head--

I’m interested to see a new place but I need to make sure I have a ride. Almost a 2.5 hour bike ride each way.Do drinks count toward that minimum? American restaurants never have anything for me but I’ll likely grab a couple drinks.
Yes. Drinks count toward the minimum 🙂 All food and beverages count… even buying a Soda there helps us out. And like Red Robin and Applebees the Machine shed does serve Liquor-- MNFurs Photography Head--

So, does this mean that the Perkins meet is not happening that night then? Just want to make sure I’m understanding correctly.I do like that the Machine Shed is way closer to where I live than the Hopkins Perkins, although the one time I ate there I personally wasn’t terribly impressed but hey. Might be worth a shot.
IHOP sounds cool for a post-meet location – though I’d probably not be terribly keen on spending more money again. Especially if I do end up making it out to the sushi thing the day before.
The Perkins meet for the 19th is canceled, yes. But just for the 19th. Again, like we did in the past (but its been a few years now) this is a Trial run and is not going to be replacing any future meets.I’ll have to talk with the Ihop. The room is a lot smaller but the impression I got is there would not be the food reserve cost as with the Machine Shed. If it happens it will be an unofficial thing for a few hours as the Machine Shed closes earlier then some of us are used to; and will depend on how many people want to do something at the end of the night…

Is there somewhere we’re supposed to register for this or can I just show up and say I’m there for the meet? I’m sorry about such a silly question. I’m new, so I don’t know jack about any of this 😛I'm not crazy, I'm just... Okay, yeah maybe I'm a little nuts.

No registration is required! Just like any other biweekly meet, you’re welcome to come for as little or as much time as you like.
Ah, okay thanks! This is actually my first meet though, hence why I asked 😛Now I just need to secure transport.
I'm not crazy, I'm just... Okay, yeah maybe I'm a little nuts.
Um… important question. Is there an age restriction for this? I’m currently 17 so would I be allowed to attend without some sort of chaperon? I noticed that you need to be 18 or with a guardian for the picnic, so I was wondering if the same applied here.I'm not crazy, I'm just... Okay, yeah maybe I'm a little nuts.

There are no age restrictions – this is a family-friendly establishment, though anyone wanting alcohol will (probably) need to show ID.
Great! Thanks again 🙂I'm not crazy, I'm just... Okay, yeah maybe I'm a little nuts.
I was really looking forward to this upcoming meet due to getting back into town after convention but it looks like I was just distanced out. niceCypher you need a ride to go? I’d offer one to you.Kiguel if you are going, let’s get a table there as I will have Norm with me too. =)I also plan to bring Snake Oil which is fun to play.
