1. Itinéraire Un: Café MEC (Minneapolis Event Centers)

At precisely 5:00 pm, you and your fellow artists, intellects, expats, writers, titans of society and architects of culture will enter the stately event confines. Indulge in treasures for clandestine bidding, the odd amusement of chance, or perhaps enter one’s moniker into what is referred to, in this quarter, as a “raffle.”

2. Itinéraire Deux: Programme

Gather with fellow innovators and hear stories from the memoirs of the Open Arms community, and tip a cocktail in honor of this grand fête.

3. Itinéraire Trois: La partie mobile

At this point, a fleet of stately limousines will appear on the horizon to transport you and yours to one of over 40 Twin Cities dining establishments for your celebratory supper.

4. Itinéraire Quatre: Rendezvous at Café MEC

Your chauffeured motor carriage will return you, a few calories better off, to the Minneapolis Event Centers. There you can compare dinner notes with your Bohemian Brothers and Sisters, collect your scandalous winnings, and steal away with a sumptuous dessert to-go.
