Anyway four - six hours it maybe could have happened but even still that hardly allows for dancing, bathroom, have another drink and party on.
Remember back to that Inaugural event you had when yes, we all got dressed up and went downtown and partied late that night. Some of us even made it into the wee, wee hours sitting at Figlio's still talking about the City and anything else on our partied out brains.
I really suggest you "retool" this idea. After all, $100 should bring on a good party and for a good cause besides. It seems to warrant a little more time in planning the exact scheduling - I even have a couple of suggestions of how to actually pull it off with a few minor changes.

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.
