MinnMax's Summer Meetup Travelogue (Extended Version)

MinnMax's Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, and Janet Garcia fly into Minneapolis to spend time with Ben Hanson, Sarah Podzorski, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, and Kyle Hilliard before disaster strikes and Haley MacLean isn't let into the country and Ben and Leo are in close proximity to a contagious disease. We still manage to have a great time, with visits to the Mall of America, lazy river tubing, Whirlyball competitions, foot races, and hanging out by a campfire. We cap things off with an incredible MinnMax summer community meetup at Utepils Brewing in Minneapolis, Minnesota featuring guest stars Dan Ryckert from Giant Bomb and Ben Reeves from Firaxis. A huge thank you to everybody who came out to the event and said hello, we hope you all had a good time! Leave your thoughts on the travelogue or community meetup in the comments below.
