In case Charles Barkely takes me up on my challenge (see press release
below), I could use some help on other places I should be taking him
late at night:
Press release:
Barkley Wimps Out, Skips Town
Rybak issues new challenge
Charles Barkley, who can no longer compete in the NBA, apparently can't
compete at night either. He didn't respond to Mayor R.T. Rybak's
challenge to take him out on the town, in response to Barkley's comment
last week that the "only good thing to come out of Minneapolis was
Prince."
"I had planned an evening of tapas at Solera, music at The Fine Line and
the Dakota, dancing at First Avenue and Babalu, and finishing with a
blood orange martini at Cosmos and a midnight show at Patrick's
Cabaret," Mayor Rybak said. "Someone needs to show Barkley what a real
town with real nightlife is like."
Barkley quietly left town this morning without responding to the
challenge.
Rybak upped the ante: "I'll amend my challenge: If he can't take the
heat with some real nightlife, maybe instead we should go to Old Country
Buffet and square dancing."
In any case, Minneapolis and its Mayor stand ready to show Barkley what
a real fun city is all about when the series returns to Minneapolis
Saturday night.
Rybak said, "His prediction that the Lakers would sweep the series has
already been proven wrong, and now Minneapolis stands ready to show him
how wrong he is about the most fun city in America."
