Transit note:

The May meetup coincides with a noon Twins game but traffic still may be heavy in the evening. Please plan accordingly. Public transit is plentiful and inexpensive, and Uber/Lyft home may be less expensive than parking.

There is parking under the SPS building; enter on 8th Street between 3rd and 4th aves.
