More on the wake

Our potluck coordinator is the lovely and talented laurel, who can be reached at laurel@windowseat.org; 612-822-0205 (home); or 612-720-3039 (mobile). Please let her know what you'll be bringing, so we can have a diverse selection of sustaining comestibles instead of sixteen bags of barbecue potato chips and 3.5 liters of Grenadine.

YM "3.5 cases of Grenadine." This is Minneapolis, after all. And you'll be there, so it's all the more important to have 16 different flavors of chips, much though even you would be up for sampling 16 different flavors of barbeque chips.

I'd bring Michigan State University potato chips, but I just gave away my last bag. Guess I'll stop and pick something up at the St. Louis Park Byerly's, (http://www.byerlys.com/) which is conveniently on the way between the church and the R/a/d/d/i/s/h/ Sheraton Bloomington.

Note to out-of-towners who may have been amazed by the St. Louis Park Byerly's during a previous visit to Minneapolis, and to returning former residents like me: they've remodeled. Much as I regret the removal of the signature chandelier over the frozen foods, overall the change is brilliant. Even if you can't buy a $50,000 crystal table at the grocery store, 'cause the gift shop is gone, too. It's been replaced by a kitchenwares shop and a community room.

Byerly's

I know! I stopped in there this week and was shocked at the change. I didn't think it had been that long...

At least I can still get the steamed bao and the rasberry marscapone. They're the perfect "i'm having a crappy day" foods.

This may be a dumb question, but is alcohol acceptable at the wake?

No, it's mandatory.
