So Saturday night was the sixth annual Minnesota Organization of Bloggers summer party.<\/p>\n

It was a gorgeous night, except for a little rainstorm that swept through about two hours into the party.<\/p>\n

And even that was pretty nice. \u00a0But we’ll come back to that.<\/p>\n

The party focused out at Keegans’ “Druid’s Glen”, their wonderful new cigar patio.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to go wrong anywhere at Keegans, of course.<\/p>\n

And when it did <\/em>rain – a little twenty minute gullywasher that drove most of the crowd indoors for a bit – it was really one of the nicest moment of the past few weeks; the rain washed the humidity out of the air, and once the clouds passed through they were followed by a cool breeze that, after the past two weeks of stinking humidity, was worth sitting in the rain to feel.<\/p>\n

Don Lokken. He doesn't blog, but I bought an Iron City Houserockers record from him back in 1986.<\/p><\/div>\n

The star attraction, of course, was “Moose” – AKA “Mini-Ben”, the three-week-old son of Mall Diva and Mr. Mall Diva from Night Writer<\/em>. Mr. and Mrs. Diva met at a MOB event some years ago, got married, and last Saturday brought Moose, the MOB’s first baby and, I think it’s safe to say, the MOB’s First Baby.<\/p>\n

Anyway – hope to see you at the Winter party, this coming February or, if I forget, March…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
