Yes I posted a thread earlier asking for recomendations for good coffee in MN. I completely forgot to include information about the trip!

Who wouldn't want to go to Minneapolis in the WINTER!? So it's cold everywhere around here so lets get away from our cold city to visit an even colder city for a day. We're taking the Megabus up to MN for coffee shenanigans. The plan is to visit as many shops as we can get to, find some good nightlife, have brunch and more coffee, and head home. We'll be back in Chicago before 8pm on Saturday. Below is the bus itinerary and pricing. Depending on how many people come, we may or may not have to get a hotel. I'm guessing not as collectively there are many friends/family in the area with couches/floors to spare. I'm budgeting around $100 for everything.

All are welcome on this overnight trip just let me know your coming so I can keep an eye out at the train station.
