MNSpeak, the closest thing the Twin Cities has to Gothamist, featured Walker New Media designer Justin Heideman in its 7 Quick Questions (or 7QQ) column. A few of our favorites:
Describe your last encounter with the Minneapolis police department.
I was driving on what may be described as the second date with my now girlfriend, over the Hennepin Ave bridge. Right as I came over the crown of the bridge, doing about 40, a cop got me on radar and provided me with a nice big speeding ticket. I thought at the time that I sure hope my girlfriend and I stay together because it’d be a funny story. We’ve been together for about a year and a half now. So, at least I can laugh about it. And drive slower there.
What is your favorite drink, and where do you get it?
Usually it is a scotch (cutty sark) on the rocks, and it comes from my liquor cabinet. But if I go out and have one, it is at the Hexagon and it is whatever their rail scotch is. Classy, I know.
What the best show you ever saw at First Avenue?
They Might Be Giants, Summer of 2004.
Quiz: first night of the snow emergency… park on the odd or the even?
They txt me to tell me. I think that the first night, you can park on any side of a non-snow emergency route. I did not look this up. Nice try on that trick question.
