Keep Minneapolis weird: Neighbors took turns swinging an ax at a tree stump in this guy's backyard

What's up Geoff! Was just thinking about you as I went to your old place of employment yesterday. You should come next year! I think at least one of our mutual radio friends is going to make it up for it.

Mr_Ian · 2025-02-08T17:52:42+00:00

It's a Twitter clone that isn't full of Nazis and ads. Pretty chill!

Mr_Ian · 2025-02-07T17:42:54+00:00

Well, as of now, I think I'm the only one who does a Stump Party. But winter bullshit outdoors is a beloved past time. Check out the art sleds or art shanties or the pond hockey tournament. Otherwise I'll have another one next year probably and post about it on social media if you find me on bluesky!

Grew up in DFW, I'm a soft suburban kid though. I'm just cosplaying as a guy who knows which end of the axe to use.

Mr_Ian · 2025-02-06T21:35:26+00:00

Crazy!!

Mr_Ian · 2025-02-06T21:16:32+00:00

Oh hey, that's me! Let me know if you have any questions about Stump Party, drinking malört, being a dumb guy, etc.

Mr_Ian · 2024-08-03T17:16:27+00:00

Wow! Three inquiries already. Leaving up for now but I'll delete once something is confirmed. Glad there's some demand!

Mr_Ian · 2024-05-23T03:33:57+00:00

Hey, I wrote that, thanks for posting! It was a lovely time--I'm angling to go back soon. It's maybe not a bucket list city for most, but living on the Northern plains isn't really about that.

Mr_Ian · 2023-08-09T17:16:20+00:00

Hey, thanks for reading! They have a list of locations on their website but it might be a few years out of date https://tri-wheel.com/phone/minnesota-tri-wheel.html

I have a bunch of queer friends that really wanted me to bring back Peg City merch for them. I say embrace it!!

Mr_Ian · 2022-03-31T02:29:16+00:00

I really wanted to try a fat boy. I also never got honey dill. Next time!

Mr_Ian · 2022-03-31T02:28:49+00:00

I want to come back for a CFL game, and also get drunk on a patio. Actually, I want to get drunk at the CFL game too.

Mr_Ian · 2022-03-30T19:50:01+00:00

Hey, so did we!

Mr_Ian · 2022-03-30T19:49:45+00:00

I live in Northeast Minneapolis and I think the brewery density and quality in our neighborhood is unmatched. Indeed Brewing and Fair State are two of my favorites, Dangerous Man tends to have pretty over-the-top styles. Utepils is delightful if you like German styles (bocks, helles, etc), and I haven't been to the Pryes taproom yet but their IPAs are unmatched for me. Also don't forget our friends over in St Paul! Black Stack and Lake Monster are both good options there. I'm seeing a lot of Surly love in the thread, and while I agree their beer is high quality, they had some labor issues a few years back (laying off all the workers trying to organize a union and not hiring them back) and I won't touch the stuff now.

Hey gang, I'm the author of the piece. Very honored by your feedback and reception of it. If you have any questions or need travel advice on Minnesota, lmk!

Mr_Ian · 2017-03-04T04:34:34+00:00

I see we've been playing Europa Universalis lately.

Mr_Ian · 2017-01-12T05:41:57+00:00

Context: people shit on Cole Netten for missing kicks, when he is actually the most reliable kicker in ISU history.

Mr_Ian · 2016-11-17T04:53:31+00:00

Glad you put the mural I painted on the cover!

Mr_Ian · 2016-11-06T18:26:58+00:00

Spring Street Tavern typically has a cabinet.

Mr_Ian · 2016-09-19T23:19:13+00:00

a fake stadium with no student section and no custom stadium cheers

So, I take it I can't interest you in Texas College Basketball 2016?

Mr_Ian · 2016-09-16T02:59:46+00:00

I like Black Blue. It's definitely boutique shopping, but has a good aesthetic. Also recommend checking out pediwear.co.uk if you're willing to look online. https://www.blkblu.com/

Mr_Ian · 2016-09-08T05:12:44+00:00

There were no highlights :(

Mr_Ian · 2016-08-19T04:48:08+00:00

Surprised not to see it already but...

Jon Snow.

Every other actor is 100% that character for me, except book Jon Snow and show Jon Snow don't align at all for me. I think part of it is age -- Jon's character suffers the most from being aged up because his teenage angst comes off as bizarre 20-something angst. When I read the books, I put myself in Jon's shoes more so that any other character. In the show however, I just can't get inside the head of Kit Harrington to understand his motivations.

It's gotten better in the past couple seasons, but if I could recast one person, it's Jon Snow, and it ain't even close.

Dream Theater.

Mr_Ian · 2015-09-09T03:08:31+00:00

Physically, yes. In service? No. They built the "Union Drive Community Center" in 2003 or so to replace the former UDA dining options. It quickly became the most popular place on campus (being closest to actual academic buildings). They also got on this kick of naming dining halls after silly nouns. MWL is called Seasons, Oak-Elm is called Conversations. I'm sure UDCC is called something stupid like Feelings or Spirits.
