I expect there to be a rather large turnout for this, and as usual we’ll probably be starving afterward. It’s definitely in our best interest to figure out food soon and try to get some space set aside, instead of waiting until the last minute. I have one idea – Gluek’s, downtown – but I want to hear from others if they have any other thoughts!

This is during the same time as one of the Petco fundraisers.  Not sure which one I will be at.

Fair enough!

I have heard that Gluek’s is good, never been there before.  I am not too familiar with the area around Mill Ruins so when I have time to dedicate to restaurant research, I will chime in again with more suggestions.

Gluek’s is unfortunately NOT available on 3/19. Please share any other suggestions you may have for places that can accommodate, conservatively, 30ish people!

[Drake M.]

I still have not had time to look at other places yet, but I will see what I can do beforehand…Only place off the top of my head as of right now is the Old Spaghetti Factory, but I do not know if they can accommodate that many people.  Are you looking more in the vicinity of Mill Ruins or elsewhere?

Again, I will see what I can find!

I don’t think it necessarily *needs* to be in that area, but somewhat nearby is certainly helpful. Currently evaluating another option or two, but suggestions are welcome.

Unfortunately I can’t make it to this one, I will be in Florida on vacation that whole weekend. Have fun, I hope to maybe participate in the next one maybe.

This will be my first time to a MNfurs meet, and my first time being in Minnesota period! For my Spring Break I thought it would be fun to visit with furs, and so Neevi invited me to drive from college in Champaign, IL to hang with his crew and they’re apparently coming to this event so I shall be doing the same! (That is, unless he was talking about a completely different event that is also in Minneapolis involving furries on the 19th >.<)

Also, hello everyone, you can call me Coco :O

Will anything be going on before the event? Also,  will there be a place for fursuit trunk storage?

Storage would basically just be your car.

This made me think of another point, though: parking. Last time at Mills Ruins, we all met up at a specific parking ramp. Do we have a similar plan this time?

[Ringer]

Thanks for bring up the parking, Kehmet. We’ll plan to meet in the same location as always – the 4th floor of the River front ramp, along 9th Ave. Look for animal people. BRING $10 CASH FOR PARKING JUST IN CASE. If there’s an event going on, they won’t take credit cards.

[Ringer]

There’s nothing official planned beforehand, though I suspect many will arrive early to start getting ready.

– THE FOOD THE FOOD –

 

Hey there!  I have been conversing with Ringer and we have found a venue for all of us to dine after the romp.  This venue is a 10-12 minute walk from the parking ramp.  I have been to this place before too and they have great burgers as well as other selections like sandwiches, pot pies, etc.

All of the details below!
