On my way to Drink in Uptown Minneapolis to cover the bar for the Southwest Journal in the rooftops special I became somewhat lost. Riding a bike in a city you don’t know isn’t the best idea when you’re trying to follow the directions from Mapquest. Mapquest sucks anyway. But I finally found Drink. Guess what. It was closed. Took me an hour to get there on the bike. So I turned around, pissed off, and headed back to work. I spotted that really famous gigantic spoon cherry thingy and stopped by there to take pictures of it because I had never seen it before. Then I got lost on the way back to work after that and ended up going through this beautiful park, Loring Park, which turns out to be a gay park. Who cares? My brother. Homophobe. Anyway, it was a beautiful park, Texas could learn a thing or two from that park. I was deeply impressed.
After oooing and awwwing I continued on my way to find where the hell I was and get back to the newspapers. I passed a Starbucks finally and that is when I figured out where I was. Sad that it took a Starbucks for me to figure that out. Anyway so I stopped by in there, got a mocha, and went back to work and everyone laughed at how it took me nearly 3 hours to ride a bike to Uptown. Whatever, I grew up in the suburbs.
