Minneapolis Eros
Aaron just pointed me to a new blog called Minneapolis Eros, a series of lightly eroticized tales of Twin Cities scenesters. I presume the stories are fiction, or, at least, ficitonalized, unless First Avenue actually does have a cache of guns in a black room above a catwalk.

this shit is terrible
Wow, that was fast, Wayne.
Been readin' it since last night. Does that make me old skool?
I found out about it last night when the person behind it friended me on Twitter.
I know pretty quickly when I don't like something ):
but yeah, the hipsters around here are extra pretentious and even more worthless than the coastal varieties, which I'm no fan of either.
plus the style annoys the shit out of me.
although it's pretty funny that I turned up on a local hipster party people photo website from a night out at first ave. I'm not mentioning where you can find this for a reason.
I think it's raindog66.
And I like it.
I hope that's not true, because I kind of like raindog in a weird twisted crazy woman kind of way. if it's her I'll be disappointed.
I also like Raindog. But I don't think this is her - by now she would have given into the urge to write a story about a Republican who makes out with a dog or something.
I've been chatting with people about this all morning. I'm really into it, but I'm a sucker for these kinds of anonymous things. Plus, it's got the potential to be a Mpls hipster version of "Gossip Girl." What's fascinating about it is how close it rubs up against actual events.... Ya know what the writing looks like to me? Like if I was trying to do an impression of Alexis.
Well, it's good, but it's not magnets.
Dammit, I forgot I was gonna start saying that all the time....
That's magnets!
It reads like a Mad-Lib.
"We were all at (hipster bar). I saw (B-list local celebrity) over the top of my (ironic bad beer). Blah blah blah, we sat smoking in bed, while (s)he absentmindedly hummed (Replacements song). (S)He had a tattoo of (local landmark) on his/her back. Blah blah blah. I stumbled home, cutting through (Mpls park). I stopped to watch (local kooky homeless person) greet the dawn."
I'm with Wayne on this one.
But you just described the best Mad-Lib ever!
Meh, The Hold Steady beat 'em to it.
MNspeak is the best Mad-Lib ever. "[Name] will hate this. [Name] will love this." Actually, it's not even a Mad-Lib since we all always know who will fit in the blanks.
Pretty dreadful writing, but I know some of these stories will be pretty scary for some. They are for me. Yikes.
Me likes.
that is some sexy fucking magnets. quites entertaining. betting $1000 it is not a regular MNSpeak Poster. but whomever it is could bitchslap me for no particular reason.
It's pretty clearly a guy doing the writing and making it up as he goes along.
It's true... 1st Ave is a facade for a Department of Homeland Security martial law command post. I've seen the guns, and danced to that On the Catwalk - I'm a model, you know what I mean on the catwalk, on that catwalk....
Look what you did now--the author has gone private! Dangit. I thought it was a great read, especially since I know some of the people.
Well crap, that was interesting while it lasted.
Way to ruin everything again, msparber. Why does this invite-only/shut-down thing have to happen to every good blog that gets mentioned on mnspeak?!
I don't know what's going on. Apparently, before it went down, there was a note that said the following:
Maintenance already, eh00:25by K.Mpls Eros (and MNSpeak - welcome!) readers - everything will be temporarily down while I do some re-tweaking. Amazingly, Blogger doesn't work like Wordpress! So oops. Back up tomorrow. Stay tuned for new content.
But then it disappeared.
