Filling In The Gaps
Okay, so I didn’t want to stuff my entire trip to Milwaukee into one long post. So, here are more of the highlights of the trip that I might have missed but all of a sudden remembered just minutes after submitting the previous post:
- We spent a good portion of the trip betting on stupid things like who can throw a baseball the fastest or what my friend Brett Favre would eat at the game.
- Saturday morning I saw a young guy sitting on the corner waiting for a bus. The rest of the weekend and even for much of today I had the Violent Femmes “Waiting For The Bus” stuck in my head. In fact, I had to play it right now as I’m writing this. I think this song will always remind me of the great time we had in Milwaukee.
- Milwaukee kicks L.A.’s ass! Oh sure, the weather might be better in Los Angeles and the people hotter, but we had no problems getting into any bar we went to and the bars were open just as late as the ones in L.A.
- There is a Bronze Fonz that we never quite found. It is exactly what you think it is: a statue of the Fonz made out of bronze.
- Outside of hotels, there are pretty much no sit down restaurants to eat at for breakfast in downtown Milwaukee. This kind of sucked, but fortunately the food at the hotel cafe was good and reasonably priced.
- Those of you who are from the midwest know about the legendary Mars Cheese Castle. Turns out they built a larger, more kick ass castle right across the parking lot from the old one. Fuck I love cheese.
So that is all I can remember right now, I’m sure I will remember more shit one I click save. Perhaps if I do, I will just add to this post instead of doing a whole new one.
