    Yep, they are back. This is downtown Minneapolis last week, Target Corporation, one of the world's largest retailers has their headquarters downtown and they had an outdoor block party a few days ago.

    You got that right Northerner, you know your the life of the party when your staring at your phone the whole time. Raves of the future will be very small square rooms with nothing in them but a ton of people all staring down at their phone.

    Looks interesting, better colours for the boombox would have made it look more realistic.

    Some thought, and money, was put into it and it doesn't look too bad.

    Oh, man... This reminds me of a joke a family friend and I started about how ridiculously large some 'boxes were, and how we could expect to see them get as large as a bedroom door!

    That's corporate life. People acting and dressing "appropriate" to improve their chances of getting promoted. Check out the girl in front with red glasses and pom-pom. She thinks it'll make her look like a true team-player.

    Even with thousands of employees, Target tries to have fun with stuff like this, unfortunately the HQ has been boarded up since the riots last year and the employees are working at home.

    It looks like there's a mini remote studio inside, I'll have to look around to see if there's other photos.
