I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for almost 25 years, now.\u00a0 And for most of that time, being from North Dakota has meant I’m my entire social circle’s connection for Everclear (the full-strength 195 proof stuff, not the pantywaisted 175 proof swill they sometimes sell in Minnesota), fireworks (the NATO-graded stuff) and cheap cigarettes.<\/p>\n
But never let it be said that Terry Keegan will miss a trend.\u00a0 Apparently noting the hottest economy in the land, Terry is\u00a0pandering to the people with the money <\/a>next week…:<\/p>\n The pub is holding our first ever “NODAK NIGHT” on Friday, July 23. We are encouraging everyone with a North Dakota conection, of any kind, to come in and mingle with other North Dakotans. We are offering the first drink free for anyone with a connection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n …perhaps to curry favor and make connections for an expansion to Minot or Dickinson or someplace else out in the oil patch with low taxes and high beer consumption rates?\u00a0 We dont’t know, but Terry’s no dummy.\u00a0 (Marty is, but since he’s from NoDak too, I keep that quiet).<\/p>\n It starts at 7PM.<\/p>\n I’ll be bringing my JHS ’81 annual…<\/p>\n
