Heading there for a conference, and as I see it, I have two choices. Get
drunk with computer geek cow-orkers, or do some wandering. Or is that not a
good idea down there? Wood-working related or not, places of interest would
be appreciated...

Lake Minnetonka - Restaurant/bar on East end with huge deck on the water. Cannot remember the name

you will partake in.

Cabelas
Lake Minnetonka
Mall of America

All of these are quite far from downtown.

I like the lakes, and surrounding gardens, etc. You can probably still rent
a bike around either Harriet or Calhoun. This would be a full day kind of
activity.

The Walker Art Center (Museum..) is also pretty cool. The outdoor displays
there are pretty famous. There is also a nice park nearby, with food on
Hennipen, about 1 mile away. This would take about 4 hours, though I've
swept through just the outdoor stuff in under 1 hour. They have a website
that should be an easy find.

In the evening, some like the club scene around 1st avenue - youth, music,
etc. Riverplace (St. Anthony Main) is also a good night spot with a more
restraunts, less kids, dining kind of scene.

I haven't lived there in over 7 years, so all the above may have burned to
the ground...
