The City Pages just came out with its annual "Best of the Twin Cities" awards.

In the category of "Best Place to Meet Single Women (Lesbian)," the winner was: Lynx games.

Jimmy Jam, Jessie Ventura, Prince: You straight men can keep your ringside T-Wolves seats, because we love the low-key lezzie-watching at Lynx games. Bargain ticket prices ($10 to $100 for a single game, plus great packages) ensure that the Target Center's packed with a mix of, um, folk: rainbow families, straight dads with their daughters, businesspeople with clients and season tickets, 18- to 20-year-olds who can't yet do the club thing. You can use binoculars for a closer, yet covert, look. Then at halftime you can wander around, see friends you haven't seen in a while--or wink and hand off a phone number. There's no smoking, and it's okay if you don't know how to dance. Oh yeah--and you get the opportunity to enjoy some pretty good basketball.

A bar run by a friend of mine won "Best Breakfast with a Hangover." True that.
