Minnpost Festival is tomorrow in downtown Minneapolis, and I'm going to have a Q&A discussion about cities and the upcoming election -- and anything else people want to talk about. There's a great list of famous guests including Governor Walz, AG Ellison, Senator Smith, and more.
Then there's me. I'm part of a "breakout session" at 3:15 and will be hosted by our new editor Leah Fabel. Hope to see you there! Bring any questions you have about the future of our Twin Cities.
Everyone's favorite show about transplants, folks who somehow moved to the Twin Cities and stuck around. I'm hosing You're Not From Here, Are You: A Show for Transplants this Wednesday at the Black Hart of St. Paul, on University Avenue.
This month, come and hear from some fabulous guests. Anna from Crawfordsville, Kelly from Auburn, and Teressa from a bunch of places including Moscow (the one in Russia, not the one in Idaho)!
For those of you paying attention, that's a double dose of Indiana, followed by a deep dive into post-Cold War Eastern Europe. It's a lot of fun. And it's free!
See you then!
A legitimate amateur stand-up comedian (and friend), Nate Hood was unable to make this gig, so Sustain St. Paul has asked me to step in and explain something really important. A long last, I will be telling the world why St. Paul is better than Minneapolis.
That's right. I will do my best. I have receipts. I have research. I have vibes. I was born in Minneapolis, to my father's great dismay. I even lived there for almost six months, so I know what's up. It's also a topic that I have been pondering on a near-weekly basis for 24 years.
In other words, I have some thoughts. I'll boil it all down into a five-minute talk that, I dearly hope, will enlighten and entertain.
So please come to the joint Sibling Rivalry Fundraiser, to benefit two great groups, Sustain St. Paul and Neighbors for More Neighbors. You will not be disappointed, and the money is going to a great cause.
Tomorrow, Thursday, at the Black Hart of St. Paul. I'll be talking in the 2nd half of the evening, around 7:30, but the rest of the speaker lineup is amazing.
Someone asked me my official slogan about this event. Here it is: "I know more about Minneapolis than anyone ever should."
