LIES!<br /> <br /> Why do you lie to me so, Minneapolis? I believed this was a city where a man and a woman (or man and man, or woman and woman) with special feelings for each other could physically express those feelings, simply and purely, on top of a Swedish man's oversized Pop Art sculpture late at night. And I was wrong. I was mislead.<br /> <br /> Sometimes I don't even know what city it is I live in. I KNEW IT! LIES! LIES!
