The Artists' Quarter

Everyone knows about the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, but have you ever been to The Artists' Quarter in downtown St. Paul?  Located in the basement of the historic Hamm building on St. Peter, this jazz and blues venue is underground in every way, dimly lit and with brimming with local Twin Cities talent.  Cover charges are cheap and they even host the occasional poetry slam.  Check it out after hours during the conference, they have music almost every night.
