Who dares to tred where Sir Charles dare not walk? (FYI: I'm open to more ideas about where to take folks on the nightlife tour.) R.T. Rybak
Here's the release that just went out: The tour Charles Barkley was afraid to take Join Mayor Rybak on a tour of Minneapolis nightlife,a fundraiser for Achieve!Minneapolis Background: Charles Barkley breathed a sign of relief Monday night when the Timberwolves were eliminated from the playoffs. The NBA has-been knew he did not have to face the humiliation of returning to Minnesota after ducking Mayor R.T. Rybak's challenge to join the Mayor on a tour of Minneapolis nightlife. Barkley trash-talked the city on national television during the playoffs, but grew uncharacteristically silent when Rybak challenged him to a nightlife tour of Minneapolis entertainment. Your opportunity: Barkley's loss can be your gain: You can be one of a select group of 50 who can join Mayor Rybak Friday, June 11 for the tour of Minneapolis nightlife Rybak designed for Barkley. Tentative scheduled stops include tapas at Solera, snuff at Gasthaus, Latin music at Babalu, martinis at Cosmos and dancing at First Avenue. The tour will leave Target Center at 9 p.m. in the comfort of a Jefferson Bus Lines coach, and conclude with a walk through the Warehouse District that will end at 11 p.m. Your contribution: The evening of fun is a benefit for Achieve!Minneapolis, the non profit organization that raises money and creates school-business partnerships for Minneapolis Public Schools. Your tax deductible contribution of $100 will cover all transportation and cover charges; participants will be responsible for their own drinks. The tour will be limited to the first 50 people to make reservations at the Achieve!Minneapolis office at 612-455-1530. A future opportunity: Achieve!Minneapolis is also taking reservations for two fall events conducted by the Mayor. The "Day Line" Tours, named after State Sen. Dick Day, will showcase high performing students and teachers in the Minneapolis Public Schools. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
