Ohhhhh Benny !

Last weekend Tim and I were in a Konstant Kraving...Now I want My Satisfaction, My Satisfaction!

I know this post is kind of late, but I just remembered that Mr. Satisfaction himself, superstar DJ Benny Benassi is going to be throwing down the grove tonight at Karma.  Last Friday Tim and I had a blast, and the space was awesome!  The dance floor buts right up against the DJ stand, so you can get up close and personal to the MAN tonight!  Check it out bois.

Konstant Kraving!

You all being  savy gadget/electronic guru type people know all about placeshift, right?  Sling Box (not talking about the cage in the back of the leather bar) where you can TiVo at home and watch it on the road.  Well, last night we felt as if we were "placeshifted" to somewhere other than Minne, like NYC or LA.  Krave is the new once a month gay dance party at an otherwise straight club.  It had everything that your typical gay bar in Minne doesn't...  lots of cute gay boys (that you've never seen before), cute drag queens selling fruity shooters, hot buff bartenders in black tanks, cute cocktail servers and Kimberly S a hot DJ from LA spinning all night!   So, mark your calenders for April 19, May 19 & June 16 and make sure to Kum with a Kraving!  kraving love, timmy

2 Days to Go!

 Last Saturday Tim and I headed up to Duluth for a quick get away.  We stayed in  the Canal Park area of Duluth.  Cute little area.  Number of chain type bars, but they where all close to our hotel.  While we were at the famous Grandma's Saloon(the one that sponsors the annual Grandma's Marathon), we came across the "Pre- St Patrick's Day Pub Crawl", sponsored by Finnegan's Irish Beer!  They are they same people sponsoring the St. Pattys day pub crawl here in Minneapolis!  So, being the good party boys we are, we met up with the crawlers and proceeded to stagger to a number of water holes in Duluth!  Good times where had by all.

Locally, here is a listing of the bars that are on the Minneapolis version of the Finnegan's Pub crawl.  Check out my previous posting to find out further information.

The Hot Zone!

Last week Tim and I met our friend Amy for happy hour cocktails.  Instead of old reliable, Figlio's; we opted for something semi-new.  Having been to Chino Latino on a Friday or Saturday night, we thought we would check out there happy hour specials.  We love a good happy hour, and that's what we found at Chino Latino's!

The happy hour a.k.a "The Hot Zone", offers some great deals.  $3 beer and wine specials as well as  excellent small plate food specials.  My personal favorite was the Tuna Roll ($4), and the Poblana Fundido($2).  The fundido was a creamy mixture served with chips.  One can never go wrong when eating a creamy mixture!

Check out Chino at 2916 Hennepin Ave South!

14 Days !

These may be the longest 14 days of our lives...

What am I talking about?  Well all you gay Irishman know damn well what I'm referring too!  ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

This year Tim and I thought we should be socially responsible while wetting our whistles on St. Patty's day.  So, we are doing two very socially responsible things:

1.  Based on experience from past St. Patty's days, we have decided to book a hotel room in Downtown Minneapolis.  The lovely Crowne Plaza will be our final destination for the night!

2.  Knowing that not everyone is as fortunate as Tim and I, we felt the need to give back to the community.  What better way to do so then by drinking!  Finnegan's, a local brewery in Minneapolis is sponsoring an Irish pub crawl both in Minneapolis and St. Paul, with the profits benefiting at-risk youth and the working poor.  Google Finnegan's Beer and you can find more information, as well as sign up for the pub crawl.

<------Tim's St. Patrick's Day outfit!

Keep on Drinking...
