Here's how it works:



The Midwest Module is a social design experiment intended to connect Twin Cities inhabitants. The experiment is open to anyone regardless of where you are. The idea started in Minneapolis but can evolve to where ever you take your adventures. Participants are asked to collect designed collateral (ie posters, menus, flyers, newspapers, local advertisements, anything!) and record their experiences with the design. Some "experiences" could be that you liked the poster so you took it with you, while other designs may inspire you to attend the event, or go to the place. Use the blog to upload pictures, scans of the designs, tell your story, and rate your experience. Connect with your friends and get out of your house to find new locations and adventures.

Pick at least 3 questions to answer:
1) rate the design of the flyer/poster/ticket/whatever you have.
2) rate your experience.
3) tell your story about the experience
4) would you go to this place again?
5) do your pictures/ticket stubs etc capture how you felt about the experience?

Bustle Optional...

This is one event I missed... and thus I know there is a god.

The James J. Hill house is the standard Sunday afternoon add-on when you are truly bored.  To be sure, Jimmy the Train Baron built one big shack.  This small-planetary-moon structure is massive.  Even as old as it is... it still manages to put-to-shame some of the modern day monsters built on Lake Minnetonka.  I digress.

This was billed as a romantic Valentine's Day event allowing tourists to learn about turn-of-the-century romance and weddings.  It ended with a "relaxation" seminar.  Yes I realize that makes little sense.  I mean if it ended in some sort of group-sex thing-- I'd poke my eyes out, but at least it would have been thematic.

"... would have been" is the important point here.  I missed it... but... if you made it to this event, please comment here.  I would like to know how "romantic" the overall event was... and was there any discussion about yester-year contraception so close to the cathedral.
