Visual Description

Bald man in blue shirt signing against a dark gray background.

A middle-aged man with a light complexion, a closely shaved head, and a short salt-and-pepper beard. He has light green-hazel eyes. He is wearing a dark blue t-shirt layered over a light gray undershirt, visible at the neckline. The background is a plain solid black, giving the image a clean, minimalistic look. The lighting is soft and even.

A white logo on a black background has a cum stain with the letters DQMO Twin CIties.

Hello everyone! You good? Thumbs up.

I’m Jack. (signs his name, J at the side of the forehead) Thumbs up.

Time is getting closer—only 25 days left to register! We’re really looking forward to that day.

Now I’m here to talk about hotels! There are so many hotels all over the Twin Cities, but I want to highlight our recommendations. Let’s check them out.

Slides appear from the left showing different hotels with labels.

Then slides transition to the right.

I’m back! Now you can see the list of hotels. I encourage you to check out the ones near Loring Park. This area is famous, with a rich queer history and lots of events happening nearby. Later this month, we’ll share a video explaining more about Loring Park.

That area is great to explore, but you’ll also find plenty of hotels near the airport. Did you know the Mall of America is right across the highway? There are many hotels there too. From the airport, you can take the light rail to downtown Minneapolis in only 20 minutes.

There are also many Airbnbs throughout the Twin Cities. If you want to experience true Minnesota vibes, check out spots near the lakes.

Transportation is good around the Twin Cities—you’ll have no trouble getting around.

And don’t forget—we have our hashtag: #DQMOTC2026!

Registration starts on October 3rd for the Blue Cock Special!
