Thanks to everyone who came out to Midsommarfest this weekend!  The weather was mostly cooperative and we had a great time!  As we’re sifting through the post-Midsommarfest rubble in our office and looking back over the weekend, I wanted to post some of the best Midsommarfest-related tweets to give everyone a taste of what the weekend was like if you didn’t go, and encourage fond reminiscing if you were there.  Enjoy these tweets (some with pictures!) after the jump.
