- Go get lost in the Sever's Corn Maze. This year the prices have gone up, big corporate sponsors have moved in, and the maze has an election theme. Sure, that sounds like three big strikes against it, but come on! It's a frickin' maze made of maize. And who doesn't like a maize maze? [Every Sat/Sun thru Oct31]
- Go get a pumpkin. Sure, the grass is still green and the air isn't so much as slightly crisp, but it's that time, dammit. And yes, Target has really nice ones for like $3, but they don't come with the hayrides and cider and facepainting that some of the exurban fake pumpkin farms do. So go have fun on the farm, buy an $8 pumpkin, then stop at Target on the way home and get 3 more cheap ones. [Various]
- Get back in the black at Dash's monthly hold 'em tournament. Ok, that won't happen, but at least try and make top 10. [Oct9]
- Pretend it snowed a foot and a half and plant your ass on the couch in front of the tube. You've got your Twins Baseball, you've got your Gopher Football (different stadium this week, whew!), and you've got your suspected Jimmy Fallon cameo on SNL after sitting out all of one episode after "retiring" last season. After you pick your pumpkin, pick at least one of those three to relax in front of. [Check local listings]
- [update] And I almost forgot, Ego Moore is in town whip liberals into a frenzy tonight. 8pm. I can't find out how much it costs, so I'll probably just stay home and grill something and watch the Twins. [Oct8]
