Iowan Sherdoggers? Anything in Iowa? Des Moines?

[Volador]

What up Sherdog,

I haven’t posted in… a year maybe? Not sure if anyone I know is still alive and unbanned.

Regardless, I’m sitting at the moment in a plane waiting to depart to Des Moines, Iowa. Will be there for work for 10 weeks, and I’ve never been there. Actually, I’ve never really been outside the East coast. Every conversation about the place I’ve had with people ends up going like this: “wait why the fuck would you go to Iowa?” “I don’t know man, they’re paying me.” Anything interesting to see/do there that you know of? Is it just a bunch of corn and shit?

With love (no homo),

I think that's where Pat Militech's camp was. If you're interested in training and meeting some UFC legends.

You could befriend Pat by offering to be his designated driver.

We had a guy from Iowa stay with us about 30 years ago, was here for a basketball tournament my brother was playing in. Dude was 6 foot 8 tall and 6 foot 8 wide, somehow his nickname was Big Country ha ha

Des Moines actually has quite a few cool things to do now. There are quite a few good places to eat too. At least when I read articles about best places in every state and all that. I think Iowa Cubs play there. Golfing. Fishing. Great food. Ya, I don't know what else.

Mark sure you pronouce it "Dez Mo-NEIGH"

I've driven through but that's about it.

One of our product mangers lives there, but only because she just left her previous company she was at for 11 years. Apparently Principal Financial Group is one of the largest employers there. One of our salespeople lives there too and he used to work for them also.
