This is incredible. I must make a pilgrimage someday.

A legendary north Minneapolis dive bar has risen from the dead.

When one of the Twin Cities’ most notorious bars, Stand Up Frank’s, closed earlier this year, I wouldn’t have believed in a million years it would be reopened and reimagined as something called Donny Dirk’s Zombie Den. Real zombies could dig themselves out of the ground and eat my brains before that would happen, because that would be crazy.

    So all the barkeeps have to be Pegg’s or Frost’s?

    But is it well zombie proofed? My friends and I make a point to choose our drinking places based on a sort of rating system. Lots of windows and difficult to defend entries = bad obviously.

    Speaking of zombies, Shaun gets a mention in an article discussing a mathematical model of a zombie outbreak and how to eradicate zombies if such an event were to occur.

      The term we came up with was “FrostyPeggBallers” ;)

      • pieface says:

        ah is that *official* then? well reading the frost & pegg blogs i was thinking you could abbreviate F&P to Frogg, but then there’s Edgar, hmm it is tricky. FroggE’s? Freggs?

    Minneapolis is only three or so hours from where I live.

    I see a pilgrimage of my own in my near future.
