Space Aliens: Geek Haven in St. CloudHi, guys. I've been talking to a reporter from the St. Cloud Times about Woot, and he decided that we should do a photo shoot at a local restaurant named Space Aliens. This is a very cool establishment; pretty much a must-see for true geeks, sci-fi fans, and, above all, gamers. Although it seems to be focused mostly on kids, there is stuff here for adults, including a bar made up to look like the Cantina Bar from Star Wars--and there are those touch-screen arcade games to keep you entertained while you wait for ribs. Overall, it's a nice place, and I wanted to post about it so you can see what you're missing! (As of yet, there are only 8 locations.) Needless to say, I prefer this place to Chuck E. Cheese, though Gameworks is a very solid competitor (they have one of those in Minneapolis, but it's at least an hour and half drive there).

I've eaten at Space Aliens about three times since I've been here; not because of lack of interest, but rather lack of friends willing to be seen there. :) Nevertheless, the menu is good with lots of options. I especially like the fries and the choice of three different dipping sauces. My only complaint is that I wish the wait staff was a bit geekier; the one at St. Cloud seems to prefer looks to lore. On the plus side, the service has always been good, and you can even buy the BBQ and wing sauce to take home in a bottle if you so desire.

I saw one dude here was from Minnesota; any chance that you ever go to Space Aliens?
