A TALE OF TWO CITIES

dude, stop it

there was an episode of animal planet on this past week that i'm trying to get my hands on...

it's called:
Episode 2: Meet the Elite Part 2
Two armed men are on the run.  Officer John Buchmeier and K9 Andy are hard on their heels.  The suspects go to ground but they can't escape the K9 Cops.  K9 Andy won't give up until he's found his man.  Plus, there's a dramatic raid when shots are fired on the East side of St Paul. An apartment must be searched; Officer Rob Vetsch and K9 Charlie take the lead.  Going in first they risk their lives to make sure they find the gunman, before it's too late.   And when a convenience store is robbed the suspect runs from the police.  In the pitch black the patrol cars lose him but K9 Deuce won't give up that easily.

thought someone out here might have digitally recorded it, or likewise, b/c it was in st. paul? anyone?

Getting rid of some seriously ratty furniture, but it's FREE and I'll even possibly haul it for you (if I can get help with lifting): http://tinyurl.com/freefurn

This isnt a absentee question, thats a separate issue but you can certainly comment too if thats what youre doing!

I wasnt sure who I wanted to vote for until this past week and now I think I am positive on it. Although I would like the thrill of voting on election day, it would also be nice to get it out of the way for our officials...

I have never voted early, if you have please comment about it! Do they send you a ballot? Do you go get one yourself? Do you have time to fill it out at home and mail it in or how does that work?


THANK YOU.

My stepdaughter is looking for manic-panic level red hair dye with blonde and black paneling. Totally outside the realm of MY stylist! Who can I send her to?

Thanks in advance.

Can somebody recommend a good, not very expensive tailor here in Minneapolis?

Can someone suggest a restaurant in downtown St. Paul that:

a) is sorta classy
b) but not too classy
c) is not too expensive
d) has a happy hour in the early evening on weekdays
e) or at least has reasonably priced drinks
f) serves at least some local food?

Cuisine doesn't matter, as we're adventurous.

Tomorrow will be the Zombie Pub Crawl.

It's a perfect time for this since Zombies do not have to worry about the economy, healthcare, or who to vote for (although you could come dressed as Paul Wellstone).

Check out the website for more details.

Hello pals,

Your local source for all your disgusting Halloween needs is having a huge prop sale RIGHT NOW!

Check it out:



Local pick-up is available, just let us know and you can come down to the horrifying FrightPRops warehouse and pick up your hideous props in person!

Act fast, Halloween is almost here!

if you had to plan your own "romantic" (as opposed to silly-fun) date for this friday night in the MPLS area, where would you go/what would you do?

i am looking for a place to get a reiki treatment, anyone have any suggestions. i have never had one before but have heard amazing things about them.

anyone have any suggestions for dog-friendly landlords? i have a friend with 2 dogs and is looking for a place in south minneapolis/seward and is having trouble finding any affordable options (i.e. less than 1200).

any leads/advice would be much appreciated! thanks!

Just a reminder - The last Presidential Debate is tonight at 8pm.

We'll be watching it downstairs at the 508 Bar, which is at 508 1st Ave N, downtown. It's conveniently located at the end of the Light Rail Line. So hop on the train tonight, and join us! We'll start gathering about 7:00 for cocktails and discussion.

Hope to see you there!

Any bars in Uptown showing the last debate tomorrow? Hopefully?

(thanks!)

I've never been to Trail of Terror   www.trailofterrorfest.com/home.htm

Reviews? Fun? Lame? Something an adult could appreciate? For reference, I'm 30.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm also wondering if it would make for a fun date.

Maurice is no ordinary cat. He?s amazing. He can think, he can talk? and he has an amazing scam going. And all he needs to pull it off is an army of intelligent rats and one stupid-looking kid. But when his gang enter Bad Blintz, the town they have decided to con next, they soon realize that all is not as it should be - and decide to investigate. Three squads of rats spread out under the town, their mission to dismantle traps, bury poison, do some serious widdling, and to find out exactly what those resident rat-catchers are up to?

anyone know of any good haunted hayrides in the area? (can require some driving).

Does anyone know what the going rate is for mowing and raking a lawn in the near western suburbs?
