Couldn't have planned this...

So you know how I was talking about how this hotel is very different from our usual Super 8/ Motel 6 kind of lodgings?  Well, we apparently chose well...

...since the very people we traveled all this way to see are staying with us:

We came back from a delightful dinner (at Eli's on Hennepin Ave.  Highly recommended if you're in town), and found a convention of luggage in the lobby.  Upon closer inspection (and a little not-so-sneaky photography)...

The Brew Crew are keeping us company for the weekend.  Excellent.
