What are fun things to do in Minneapolis on New Years Eve that you don't have to be 21 to attend? I want to go out and have fun, but I'm fearing that my 19 year old self isn't going to find much. Help a lady out, twin_cities! (It can be in St. Paul too, but I'd prefer Minneapolis).

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Anybody use boost mobile locally? i am interested in the $50 unlimited calls and texts plan and am wondering about how the signal is... do texts come on time? voicemials? what is the catch?

How does one find out if there will be fireworks going off on New Years Eve in the cities? I have looked on several city webpages but have not found any info.

Thanks!

Would anyone know of any clubs or even better any gay clubs, or maybe even any place to hang out at that is open on Christmas Eve night?

Dear Twin Cities,

You're screwed.

I have a friend who recently got into wine, and I was thinking I might get him a gift card for a nice wine shop in the Twin Cities. Ideally it would be a place that doesn't feel like just going to a liquor store. Any ideas?

my family would like to go out for Chinese or Vietnamese food (easiest for a relative with food sensitivities) on Xmas day. Any recommendations for places that are open? TIA!

(I wasn't sure if I could post this, but then I remember that people sell apartments and junk on here all the time. If I'm mistaken, kindly let me know.)

Basically, I'm selling my '92 Mustang, which came with me from California and which I love to death. It doesn't have any rust on it because this is only its second winter here. It held up fine last year, but I've had some problems since, most of which I've fixed. I started the bid on Craigslist at $1300 but for you fine folks I'll start it at $1100, since I doubt anyone here is like a diehard Mustang fan. Which is who I'm aiming to catch.

Questions, comments, concerns, you can reply here, message me, or use the CL ad. And yes, I may be a socialist, but no you can't have my car for free. We do live under capitalism and I want a good deal (but don't want to screw you, either) :p

I WANT TO VOLUNTEER AT A HOMELESS SHELTER

WHERE I DO THIS

So, my girlfriend needs to find a new chiropractor. She loved hers, but he is now too far away to drive to on a regular basis.

First and foremost, she is hoping to find another one who is Big and Strong. She has had smaller people in the past, and they have not been able to adjust her completely.

Secondly, the closer to south Minneapolis, the better.

Third, any kind of extended hours - open in the early mornings, later in the evening or Saturdays.

Any recommendations appreciated!!!

Is there any place around here to rent raclette machines and things like that? The kind of kitchen item you only want about once a year and don't want to buy?

Hi Everyone,

I am tired of feeling like a lumberjack this season. I like wearing skirts and dresses and feeling lady like, but I don't really have appropriate leg wear. I hear smart wool tights are good but they are $45 a pack. I was wondering if anyone has some more affordable suggestions for wool/warm tights?

Perhaps some knock-offs and other brands they can point me too?

I would prefer to buy these locally.

Thanks!
