5-8 should be less than 30 minutes from Target Field so your timeline looks good to me.

Sounds like a plan.

I finally got to meet Cory Olson tonight! Chad Olson is one of my best friends on this board and one of my best friends period but, although I have met Chad many times the past 11 years both in Las Vegas and Iowa, this was the first time I got to meet Cory. Cory is very awesome! Despite a major thunderstorm going on at the time here in Minneapolis, Cory picked me up from my hotel and took me to a brewery called 32 Union- great food and they have 32 beers on tap that you pour yourself into the cup size you select! I enjoyed talking to Cory tonight about the game, sports, Minnesota, and other topics.
Afterward Cory drove me past the nearby Vikings practice facility before dropping me off at my hotel. Chad and Cory might be the best two set of brothers I ever had the honor of meeting, it is awesome they do the LOW cards along with Tim Dalton (another close friend of mine!)
Tomorrow I am looking forward to touring Target Field and seeing both Pikemojo (who I have never met before despite working with him on the Legends Facebook page- really looking forward to meeting Pikemojo!) and Cman (one my oldest friends here in the community but this will be the first time I have seen him in almost 2 yeas.)

I am happy you got to meet Cory! He never took me to a serve yourself beer place, so I'm very upset with him.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and your Twins game tonight! |

It was great finally meeting you as well, Zeke! My brother-in-law had suggested Union 32 and said we wouldn't be disappointed. I texted him last night that he was correct. The thing I loved was that all the beers on tap were from various Minnesota breweries. They had old black-and-white photos of MN breweries throughout the place. Food was great too! Sorry I can't join you, Cman, and Pike for a Juicy Lucy today. That sounds really good about now! Hope you guys have a great time and that you have a safe flight home tonight! |

Had a fun time in Minnesota today.
I toured Target Field (MLB ballpark #22 that I have visited) with Cman.
I ate a Juicy Lucy when I had lunch with Cman and Pikemojo (great to meet Pikemojo!). The Juicy Lucy was delicious and the restaurant also had the world’s greatest beer Alaskan.
I checked out Mall of America with Cman. Normally a mall is one of the last places I want to be but this mall is the biggest in the country (and also the site of wrestling history- Lex Luger and WCW) and was really cool. At the big LEGO store I bought a Boba Fett key chain and a Boba Fett baggage tag where you write your name, address, and phone number on the back. Plus it makes it easier to spot my bag at the baggage carousel.
Currently at the Minneapolis airport drinking a beer (my late night flight home to Las Vegas has been delayed.)
Minnesota is now either I think State #30 or #31 (I need to count it up again) that I have visited, I had a great time.

Great to meet you and Cman as well! You two are the first two FGers I've ever met in person. Kinda crazy considering I've been playing the game for 15-16 years now and talk to a few people from these boards fairly regularly via text, email, FB, etc. executioner and I need to connect sometime when he's in town again. Same with Avarice. And I'm pretty sure Cory Olson and I live 15-20 minutes from each other. Glad you enjoyed your Juicy Lucy and short Minnesota visit. Hope to be able to meet up again sometime. |

I had a blast hanging out with Vegas today touring Target Field which is the first Baseball stadium tour I have ever done. Then getting a Juicy Lucy and meeting pikemojo finally. It wuld have been cool to meet and hang out with Cory too, but I know how life gets in the way. I will try and plan for another time to come down so we can do it again. Glad you enjoyed your trip to our neck of the woods Vegas!

Glad you guys had fun! Wish I could have joined you at 5-8. Zeke's Juicy Lucy photo on Facebook made me crave one! Hopefully, we can meet up somewhere sometime, like at one of the area indy cards. |

I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and your Twins game tonight!
