tell me about milwaukee

And I'll try and get all the stuffy indie kids I know to step outside of their usual coke lined bar bathrooms to attend.

My wife got into Marquette Law and so I think I might have to move here. I know nothing about it. Is it just a smaller, drunker, somewhat colder Chicago?

i almost interviewed for a lawyer job there but i backed out at the last minute because i am tired of the midwest and tired of cold and i'm going to move to baltimore instead. was i wrong?

Is it just a smaller, drunker, somewhat colder Chicago?

pretty much

it's algonquin for "the good land" btw

I know a good dude there, can show you some sights. Definitely more sociable than I am.

Back from Milwaukee. Fun times. Milwaukee seemed really, really quiet.

We did:

1. Went to a brewery...Lakeside? for a tour, but it was sold out, so we bought a couple beers and chatted with a very nice bartender who hinted that we should join the tour w/out paying. We found the group in the bowels of the brewery, and found that the guy who turned us away from the tour was leading it.

We hid behind a few tall guys, and Courtney and I were cutting up a little - pretending to kiss and taking pictures of the guys' butts (that was my doing). As I was showing Courtney the picture my beer slipped out of my hand and both the beer and camera crashed to the floor and sending the battery and memory card flying, and soaking my sleeve, the camera, and most off all, the butt that I had just photographed. The guys were very nice, and they laughed a lot and assured us all was OK.

We LOLed and tried to sneak out, but the tour leader noticed us again. We went back and chatted w/ the nice bartender.

2. Went to Wild Hop and ate maybe the best nachos we've ever had (w/ buffalo meat).

3. Walked around the lake a bit.

4. Went to the casino and lost a few bucks on nickel slots.

Very visually interesting town! Very beautiful in parts.

dude on the right:

It is quiet. It is nice for a weekend getaway. If you're living there, you are close to all kinds of recreation for your leisure times. Also, it is nothing like Chicago, which is much ruder.

PleaPlai any idea if that drummer would be interested in playing Grant Hart in an awesome Hüsker Dü style cover band?

if I can manage to get a planning job in The Good Land I might be able to review a property line adjustment or something for the Jeffrey Dahmer memorial vacant lot

Bob Uecker! Brady Street! Polish Flats! The Black Holocaust Museum! Kilbourn Tunnel! The Basilica of St. Josaphat! The Calatrava! Mr. Perkins Family Restaurant! Newly developed Chimney Park featuring actual preserved industrial relics! The Bucks! Harley Davidson shit everywhere! Wolski's! Check out all those exclamation points. That's how excited I am to move here in August.
