Ballard's Finest (or Ryan to my non-SPU friends) was the main attraction this weekend. Followed closely by SRI and the cold weather. Friday night, after a day of cleaning which will help with the up coming move, Ryan came in to MSP at 8:24 CST. First stop, the Edina Grill. Highly recommend one of the 4 locations; sweat potato fries are a must. But the new tap, the Hennepin is no Stella; don't let them fool you. After that it was on to Brits, where there is a strong possibility that we met the owner...crazy old guy with a thick British accent who had a fancy for gold coins (change the accent and he could have been a leprechaun).Saturday morning brought back memories of the other Northwest. Goonies on TBS; does it get any better! Fifty dawla bills! Anyway, then off to the Bad Waitress for a short stack. Too bad Ryan's pancakes were bigger than the entire plate. As I mentioned, the weather was terrible. I thought I could put the snow coat away. Wrong. So the city tour had to be a car, rather than foot tour. The upside is we saw both cities.
Saturday night was the SRI dinner, awards, skits extravaganza. I can't say I recommend the wings at Townhall, but the catering at the U was tasty. I also have to give a shout out to the Talcott Parsons Project. Especially Joachim; more cowbell...um...professor.
Sunday meant Ryan sleeping in for the first time in months. And finally some sun. But the temperature here is still a joke.
