=== Social sometime in June, July, or August ===
Day trip to the Cities for the [http://www.smm.org/starwars/ Science Museum's Star Wars exhibit].  Available June 13-August 24.  Tickets are anticipated to need to be purchased in advance due to high demand, so we'd not only need to agree on a day, we'll have to try to get a weekend far enough in advance that we can all get entry tickets for approximately the same time.  If we get 15 or more people to commit and turn over money in advance, we can make group reservations - at least one month notice would be required for this as well.<br>


While we're in the Cities for a day, we could also plan to hit up things like [http://www.gameworks.com/locations/minneapolis.php GameWorks] (large video game arcade / bowling/ restaurant), the [http://www.imax.com/minnesota/ IMAX] at the zoo, and/or woods paintball at [http://www.mnpropaintball.com/index.html Pro Paintball].  Other ideas to make a full day of it are welcome.
