The $100 go-crazy challenge
I just received a hundred dollar kill fee for an article that took me a long time to write, but will now never see the light of day.
I don’t wish to associate with this blood money.
My question for you, the Metroblogging Twin Cities audience: If you had $100 to spend irresponsibly on food and/or drink, how would you go about it? I’m looking for ideas that are creative, outrageous, decadent, silly and/or interesting. Points for keepin’ it local. Deadline: End-of-day, Wednesday, March 21.
Best idea gets implemented and photo-documented, unless I don’t find anything thrilling, in which case I may just buy some really good scotch. Or pay my electric bill.

I’ve always thought it’d be fun to hit up a different restaurant for different courses in a meal… appetizer one place, soup/salad another, main course, dessert, etc etc. I’ll have to think a bit more on *where* I’d go… more later…
100 dollars isn’t a lot of money these days. Please, please, photodocument yourself paying your electric bill.
I guess as long as you’re photodocumenting it for the rest of us to see, you might as well give us something exciting to look at. Maybe harass the drunk college kids coming out of the bars; try and pay them 5-10 bucks to do some stuff that will make us laugh…
I dunno, that’s all I can come up with…
Personally I’d go with the expensive scotch, but that doesn’t photo well.
Is there a bar in town that will pour your liquor down an ice sculpture into your glass?
Go somewhere you can order one of everything off the menu. Photo each plate. (And take one helluva doggie bag home, or invite a bunch of friends.)
Might be a while to wait, but what can $100 get you at the farmer’s market? Cook up something snazzy.
Go to the grocery store and fill your cart with $100 worth of various products. e.g., What does $100 of toilet paper look like? Milk? Canned peas? Don’t necessarily buy it. Maybe best implemented late at night.
I wonder if there could be away you could donate the money to a food shelf, or salvation army, then volunteer to “serve” the food for the evening…

That would be a good story!
Good Christ, no. That’s precisely wrong. I give money to Heifer International and Doctors Without Borders every year as it stands. I’m not interesting in saving lives, here. I’m interesting in SQUANDERING MONEY.
Oooo…kay. Whatever works best for you buddy.
Beer. Lots of beer. I’ve been told we have good local beer, but what I’ve had so far has not stood up well on the whole to brews from the Pacific Northwest. Or maybe I’ve had better beer sherpas out there.
I swear that Loaves and Fishes has a location in Duluth, but it’s not listed on the website. When I was 15, I volunteered there (I really think it was there), to gain “points” for my church to travel to Denver to see the Pope.
My, how times have changed.
Anyway… Is there anything you’ve always wanted, but never been able to justify spending the money on?
I would cash it in for pennies and go fountain hopping downtown.
