September Happy Hour at Flat Earth

Flat Earth is just a taproom, no food. If you're going to be hungry, make sure you eat first. We could try to arrange for some delivery but I'm not sure what would work. Otherwise, here are some options for take out / carry in:

• La Manana -- Salvadoran food, great pupusas. Around the corner from Flat Earth. If you take Mounds Blvd left exit off 94, take a left to head to 7th St. and hang a right on 7th. It's up about 8 blocks or so just past Arcade Ave intersection. http://www.yelp.com/biz/ma%C3%B1ana-restaurant-y-pupuseria-saint-paul
• Taqueria Los Paisanos -- good Mexican fare, quick takeout option. Corner of 7th and Arcade. http://www.yelp.com/biz/taqueria-los-paisanos-saint-paul
• Taco truck -- great authentic tacos from food truck parked across form 500 E 7th street. Take a left onto 7th St., pass Payne Ave intersection and it's just up on your right across from Holiday.
• Red's Savoy (the original!) -- classic pizza (love the varieties with sauerkraut). It's on 7th too, just a few blocks past that taco truck on the right (on corner of Lafayette). http://savoypizza.com/location/minnesota/st-paul-7th-street/
• Black Sheep Pizza-- coal fired pizza, downtown St. Paul. This is further away but it's great pizza. 512 N. Robert St., St. Paul, MN 55102. http://blacksheeppizza.com/
• Yarusso's -- near the corner of Payne and Minnehaha, classic red sauce Italian American joint http://www.yarussos.com/

These are the closest, quickest, take-outiest joints I can think of. If we want, maybe we could organize a take out order from one? Red's and Black Sheep do online orders. I'd be happy to place/pickup an order if we get a consensus on the joint and people want to pitch in. Whaddya think?

Here are the top 10 reasons to come to the Twin Cities Drupal Happy Hour, which happens to be in St. Paul, tonight!

10) Check out one of the newest Tap Rooms in the Twin Cities, located in the historic Hamms brewery:
Flat Earth Brewing. http://flatearthbrewing.com/home.php?month=4&day=1&year=1967&send_date=enter

9) Saint Paul was recently named the "Best Romantic Getaway in North America" by 10best.com - the travel division of USA Today. http://www.visitsaintpaul.com/discover-saint-paul/romance/

This articles says we're more sophisticated than Minneapolis!

8) Saint Paul Public Library site! Build with Drupal. http://www.sppl.org/

6) Congratulate "eojthebrave" on seeing the light/coming to his senses/realizing the error of his ways and coming back home to the Twin Cites!

5) Finally, Barry Madore can stop complaining about having to travel across the river for every TWIN CITIES Drupal event. (We'll be a stones throw from Barry's historic St. Paul mansion).

4) The opportunity for a Garrison Keillor sighting
(heck for some of us, the opportunity for a Barry Madore sighting).

3) Saint Paul, home of the Minnesota Roller Girls (ask Kendra for details)
NOTE: It's time to start planning the 2nd annual TCDrupal Roller Girls outing!

2) Share rumors about (maybe even start celebrating) the impending release of Drupal 8 (within weeks!)

......... (wait for it)

'#1' Reason to come to St. Paul tonight:

To finally dispel the myths and urban legends that for too long have divided these great Twin Cities and kept Minneapolitans on the wrong side of the river!!!!

Barry is ordering Pizza from Black Sheep right now, with a guess on who might be coming and how hungry they are. Those who want pizza can share the cost.

We can place an additional order later, if necessary.
