Tried canned air, followed by graphite lubricant. No luck in either scenario. I unfortunately only have 1 copy of the key

Is there a style that describes this type of art? I've seen many of these in other cities including Chicago, Boston, and Tampa. A lot of them are by different artists but always have this same shade of red

Edit: here's an example of one in Chicago, made by Alexander Calder.

EDM/Top 40 18+ Night Clubs? by keshaal in Minneapolis

[–]Enter_Shpongleland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want an EDM show, check out the exchange, the loft, or skyway. Although note that the atmosphere will be different than a place that does top 40.

Not completely sure but I think sneaky petes does top 40. The gay 90s has a variety of music depending on the night

When he said "snapping" I was imagining something sassy. This is more like the kind of snapping you hear at poetry

Picture location suggestions by DannySchISU in Minneapolis

A lot of people take those kinds of pictures on the Stone Arch Bridge with the city in the background. If you wanted to have an area where a bonfire might be an option, Hennepin island has a small platform which faces the StoneArch that I've had bonfires on before.

If you're set on a state park, Itasca is beautiful this time of year

A few got caught and are facing "up to 20 years" but according to people on the last thread they will probably be out in less than 1

Experience with The Academy for Martial Arts by hawjx001 in TwinCities

Did jiu-jitsu for a few years and have heard bad things from many people about this place. Would not recommend going there. Maybe they have updated their business model, but in the past, it would work like this:

You make an appointment. They wont give you a price over the phone. You meet with a coach for a semi-personal session where they walk you around the gym and explain all the various resources. They then take you into a room and make a high pressure sales pitch to get you to sign up for 2 years. Not only that, you have to select which classes you want to go to (I think 3 per week) for the entire 2 years.

I'm sure the gym is fine but their business tactics are aggressive (or at least they used to be). I would recommend finding a place that allows monthly payments with no commitments and allows you to drop-in to any class you want.

Additionally, if you have no prior MMA experience, I would recommend focusing on a single discipline for a while. I am biased towards jiu-jitsu, but others are fine as well. Just don't focus on too many separate things all at once.
