| Pet-friendly coffee shops/cafes? |

Wondering if anyone knows of any overall pet-friendly coffee shops, cafes or other nifty places to hang out for a few hours that are friendly with all sorts of (well-behaved, leashed) pets. It's not hard to find to lists of dog-friendly places, but it seems the other critters get neglected!
I don't expect any of them to be okay with bringing any pet (dog or not) into the establishment; just those that are okay with someone grabbing a drink/snack and retreating outside to enjoy the non-snowy-weather with a fuzzy (or scaly, or feathery) friend. Wi-Fi not necessary.
... If it helps at all, what I'm mostly curious about is lizards, snakes, rats and ferrets.
(I miss Pandora's Cup.)

I can't find via google, so let's crowd-source it! Bars with shuttles to St Paul Saints games? The only one we can think of is Gabe's. Doesn't matter if it's StP or mpls. Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

| Want to see a show for free? I need a few ushers. |

"It's a moment in time, at the verge of the birth of rock & roll." - John Sayles
When Tyrone,owner of the honeydripper lounge, is faced with having to shut down his juke joint his hopes rest on one man-the famous Guitar Sam. It's a make or break weekend for the Honeydripper--this better be some Saturday night!
Sound like something you want to see? Well, you can see it for free if you'd like to usher. Just PM me or comment with the night that works for you, and I'll put you on the list. It's at Old Arizona Studios, with a time commitment of 6 PM to 10:30 PM (most of that will be spent watching the show). No experience is necessary; I'll go over the basics when you arrive and you'll be good to go.
The dates of the show are May 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th, 20th.

Does anyone know someplace in the south of the river area to buy fresh octopus? I live in Eagan and would like someplace closer than Coastal or United Noodle.
Thanks.

| Minnehaha Coffee?? |
[29 Mar 2012|12:36pm] |
Heya,
Just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Minnehaha Coffee, the family-run shop at Minnehaha and 46th St. They've been closed for well over a month, and I'm wondering if the owners are on a super-long vacation, or if they went under or what. Thanks!

EDIT: Just saw a Remax sign up in the window. Guess that answers my question! Thanks all.

| Reliable, honest plumber in South Minneapolis? |
[27 Mar 2012|12:32am] |
Any recommendations for a reliable plumber in South Minneapolis that won't try to take me took the cleaners?
I used to have good luck with Roto-Rooter for semi-emergencies, but the last time I called them I'd been home a week after 6 weeks hopitalization, was barely mobile w/ walker & the crook wanted $150 just to breath, more for real plumbing work. I ended up doing the work standing on a stool in the basement w/ my wife trying keep me from falling off. Good motivation under the circumstances, but the guy still ticks me off.
The job is the likely replacement of a bathtub water supply, not original but installed sometime between 1918 & 1986. Neither Home Depot nor Menards stocks the washer or cartridge. Both referred me to Park Plumbing Supply, but I had so much difficulty reinstalling the cartridge for temporary use overnight that I don't want to go through another cycle of that. It want it replaced. The risers are 1/2" which complicates things, so there might be some pipe fitting involved as well if he doesn't have/can't get bathtub water supplies w/ 1/2" inputs (most are 3/4" today).
I've torn out enough of the surround to assess the job and decide that I'd rather not proceed myself. :)
Suggestions for plumbers?

Any ideas where I can buy a used or refurbished netbook? (besides on Craigslist) I was trying to find a Computer Renaissance, but it seems as though there are none left in MN? At least, according to their silly website.

Where do drag queens buy their shoes around here? I have big feet and need some slutty boots. Most mainstream stores don't have big enough or slutty enough. I'm an 11, nothing crazy.

Help me help my friend. These ate incredibly sweet cats. Male, 10, neutered, and female, 6, spayed. Male is a brown tabby, female is a long haired calico. The male, Buddy, has diabetes that is well-controlled by diet. My friend is relocating and can't take them along for a few months. Truly a foster situation-- she wants them back!! My friend is leaving town n a few days, and the company housing she'll be in doesn't allow pets. Please help! Anyone who knows of any foster groups with room, please let me know.

Hey all! I'm looking for a dressmaker/seamstress in the Twin Cities who would be able to make basic 50s-style dresses (e.g. this and this) from scratch if supplied with fabric and measurements. Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks!

| Which charities take hand made items? |
[09 Jan 2012|05:37pm] |
Twin Cities LJ'ers, I need your assistance.
I crochet and knit items for charity in my spare time. Today I found out that my usual donation point for these items no longer will accept them because I don't work for them any longer.
So, I need a new outlet for my creativity. Other than Mother Bear Project, where else will take hats, adult and baby afghans, and other items like that? Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone have a good idea of a local bakery where one could procure a rather large number of unfilled profiteroles? I know I've seen them somewhere locally, but I can't remember where for the life of me.
