Some things I'd note.
It is cold in Minneapolis. The highest tempatures all weekend is expected to be about 12F (-14 C). Dress for it, if you have nothing that will work, get someone to meet you with a coat and hat. If your gonna drive up from the south, make sure you car is ready for it.
On tipping waiters/waitresses: 10% is the minimal you can do without being insulting, and is a way of saying that the service was minimal. 20% is a way of saying "nice job", and should always be a pleasure. Geeks have a reputation for not tipping well, lets try to change that.
There is not much a night life in the twin cities. Don't waste your time wondering around looking for one outside of the listed areas. There are things to do elsewhere, but they are so spread out that you should know where you are going. There is plenty to do though, you just have to find it.
One of my favorite sites to find enertainment is the twin cities acoustic music calendar. http://jimwhitney.com/tcamc/ (beware some things are several hours away) There are several more out there, for scenes I don't follow. Google is your friend.
