How many of you have friends with full movie theaters in their basements? One’s that have a full concessions stand and arcade? One’s that just open up the claw machine when you fail on your umpteenth attempt. One’s that feed you and put you up for the night graciously?

Tomorrow, SLC!

Coffee and Kindness.

When I get my life back in order in a few weeks here I’d like to see if I can organize a Twin Cities/MN Micro.blog meetup. I’d like to put some IRL faces to the folks here.
