Anyone in Minneapolis?

I've got some hefty layovers in Minneapolis next month on my way out to visit nmissi and to go to GenCon/JadeCon -- 3.5 hours on August 9th and 2.5 hours on August 16th. I can't remember if I know anyone in that city though, particularly anyone who might be interested in meeting up and hanging out somewhere near the airport for a bit, so I'm not stranded there for the entire time.

At least this time I've got a very slim chance of being stranded there overnight. I nearly got stuck in Atlanta on the way home from GenCon one year -- if I'd been about five seconds slower in running through the terminal, I would have missed my flight (my flight in had arrived ten minutes after the departing flight was supposed to leave), and one year the airline wound up paying for a hotel room in Cincinnati when my flight out of Louisville got delayed to the point that we took off after my connecting flight had already left. So, I tend to err a bit more on having extra time when it comes to this particular route (plus carry the necessities in my carryon -- since the Cincinnati layover left me with my cellphone and laptop, but no way to charge them up).

Transit time being what it is, I doubt I could make it down there in time for us to actually go anywhere tonight. And you'll barely have an hour of downtime on the way back; not enough time to go to the Mall of America or something. :P

Next time!
