#minnebar19 yesterday was so much fun. I had a blast, and am feeling both exhausted and energized…which is how it always goes. I already can’t wait for the 20th anniversary next year!

PSA: Biking on Hennepin Ave by Loring Park is extra dangerous at the moment. There are 3-4 inch ruts hiding in plain sight. I took a spill riding straight into one of these this morning.

I was imagining this meme while biking past a mile of backed up cars with @ianrbuck.bsky.social on Marshall Avenue in Saint Paul earlier this week, and he made it real!

Anybody taken the Amtrak from Minneapolis to Chicago? How far in advance do we need to get to Union Station? Which seats are best? Is business class worth the upgrade? Any other tips?
