Today's Location: Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis's northwest graticule is at latitude 45, longitude -93. This graticule, based on N45º and W93º, contains the northern portions of both Minneapolis and St. Paul. It also includes most of the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. The graticule extends north almost to Mille Lacs Lake. The area is bordered by Interstate 35 on the East side.
Besides the city, this graticule contains numerous small lakes as well as woodland and farmland, potentially leading to an interesting variety of meetup locations.

Erica actually lives in the SE graticule of the Twin Cities, but is open to traveling to other Geo Hashes that are somewhat close by.
digory lives here and will attend either these ones or the Minneapolis SW, Minnesota as he has time and they are reasonably accessible (or unreasonably as he has more time)
Brendan lives in the Saint Paul area but is willing to travel anywhere within a reasonable distance
Joel is tall and blonde, lives just northwest of Minneapolis and will strike, er, visit, at random. (He's a nice guy, really.)
