MNSpeak Lame Update
Hi everyone! Ya’ll happy? Yeah? Cool? Love the new MNSpeak?
OK. So, neither do I. Here’s the deal:
- I have to schedule a meeting with local editors for top level categories: music, politics, art, culture, snark, NSFW, Debt Ceilings, other stuff. Editors have been identified.
- We need to rejigger Tumblr to a new template that takes in categories
- We need to launch said template
- Editors will begin posting
- Awesomeness will abide
- Truth and meaning will be yours
- Beers
All good? We cool?

The Posting
(My sincere apologize to Poe) (submitted to MNSpeak by ‘2oldfarts’)
Once upon a MNSpeak early, where I pondered weak from Surly,
Over many a quaint and curious postings of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at the MNSpeak door.
`’Tis some lurker,’ I then uttered, ` rapping at the MNSpeak door -
Only this, and nothing more.’
There I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl and fiery glare now burned into the MNSpeak door;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion’s velvet lining that the computer-light gloated o’er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the computer-light gloating o’er,
benot a lurker, ah, nevermore!
`Be that word your sign of parting, and now get to posting!’ I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back onto thy keyboard and away the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no shadow as a token by your lurking of which I’ve spoken!
Leave the MNSpeak door unbroken! - quit thy lurking by the door!
Take the sneak from out thy heart, and take thy form from off the door!’
Then be a lurker, `Nevermore.’
At what point do we consider you dead?
“Dead” is sometimes difficult to determine.
Thanks for checking back. We’re as pissed off about this as you are.

Cake Eater Bakery to close July 10. From their website:
It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce that as of July 10, 2011, Cake Eater Bakery and Café will be going out of business. We have had some financial hardships, and coupled with our desire to be more available for our families, it is our decision to close the bakery.
This is bad news. Clicquot Club Cafe closed at the same location in 2009 — the opened the café after renovating the former corner store with the big Orange Crush sign on the side.
Do you think another café will open shop in that space? Is the economy becoming more restaurant friendly, or is it becoming worse?
