This place seems to be a "you can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave"
I started coming here occasionally a few months ago. The issue often is it closes at 8 and like 5pm on weekends. I seem to get here and not have enough time to do stuff. So I trek over to the Caribou after that.
But I kind of had a Beavis moment tonight. I go to the Eagan library, to write as I am write now, and do other stuff. But...my confession is I keep hoping the woman who smiled at me last week will be here again.
It was last Wednesday th 7th. I wasnt even supposed to come out here, but my phonecall with my Aunt was cancelled so I did. I get here about the time it is now, a little before 7pm. I walk in and right by this attractive woman who may have been about my age, I'm unsure. She smiles at me right before I sit down. It looked like she was grading papers on laptop, unsure too.
I smilled back at her and sat down at a table a few down from mine.
She left like 20 minutes later.
And the rest of the night I felt like I blew it.
My only conclusion was, she might be back around the same time. Well I came the next evening, I didnt see her. And so I cam tonight, the Monday afterwards and I don't believe I saw her earlier. There are some other, rather nice and attractive women here, even 1 or 2 I talked to earlier.
But I knew they had an area downstairs that stuff was held. So I walked down there after seeing some woman come in and walk down there.
Last Thursday there was even trivia downstairs.
But like a Beavis & Butthead plot, I walk in and see a bunch of people attending a class or exercise of sorts for art. This nice woman named Karen told me a little about it and encouraged me to come in and make coasters.
So I was like, why not? So I did. Here they are
They were looking rather green or teal for a few minutes, but the colorful splatter adds something.
I may get more involved in some of the activities they have here. Maybe meet someone here even, if it isn't that woman from last week. Unsure. But it's funny what you sometimes stumble into.
Kind of like Joyce at KFAI, lol.
I also could use some more coasters. I still use the Prince and Golden Girls coasters, but I need more.
