Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - on wisconsin. and all that.

my lovely steamroller, Sue, and I will be in Milwaukee starting tomorrow evening. We will make a trek to Madison on Friday, and then spend the entire weekend in sunny, warm Milwaukee.

Anyone interested in doing the bikey drinkey thing, lemme know. I have a low tolerance for cold but a superhuman tolerance for alcohol.

This time I promise to call.

Are you staying way up in Theinsville or whereever again?

yeah, staying in thiensville, but i have a car and a bike and all that. no worries.

Excellent.
Then I'll see what's going on and give you a call. Either tomorrow or Saturday night.

woo hoo! anyone else gonna be in Coldlandia?

Uh, Wisconsin should always be capitalized. Thanks.

yeah go over here and post up, www.bigwhiskeymtb.com lots of WI people over there. i have off work thursday afternoon through the 3rd and i am up in grafton but we could do a meet up downtown with hyperrevue (who i was supposed to meet up with a long time ago) and mabe jasonsan and others sometime friday or thursday.

what if we did like a bowling/riding/drinking night in the north ave/riverwest area? we could just plan meetup time and location and whoever can make it can swing by... i'm cool for any night 9pm or later, pretty much.

sounds good to me, pick a spot.

well, help me out here. friday at 10pm would work swell for me, how about you all? and i wouldn't know where to meetup. Landmark Bowl? Onopa? i don't know where people go, really.

or were you thinking a more respectable daytime ride?

oh, and i should be able to drag my little brother along. he rides fix too.

I won't be able to get into MKE but I'll be in Fontana, WI with my folks.

I don't want to dictate anything, but Thursday would work much better for me.
That said, I'll try and work around whatever plan is made.
Hit up Onopa, Foundation and maybe Landmark?

Friday is better for me, though Saturday and Sunday work for me too. Thursday is OK, but then my brother can't make it, and he'll beat me up for that. it's just not worth it.

Totally understand.
Just wanted to throw it out there.
Friday is probably best - especially with Christmas eve and Christmas and all.

ok, how's about 10pm Friday at Onopa?

I'm down.

nice.

ok, mwakee. bring it! or, at least, come hang out.
pm me if you need my number.

10pm Friday 23 December
Onopa

i'll be in madison on sunday, but i'd have to ride my mom's hybrid.

Chimbly -
I just remembered that my good friend is DJing at Mantra Lounge on Friday night.
It's not at all his or our scene - very clubby - but some friends and I are gonna ride over and crash it.
You should include that in your night's plans.
At least for a little bit.

Who's the dj? Some friends of mine play there occasionally.

Diamonds. (http://www.myspace.com/diamonds )
He's never DJ'd there before.
He does spin at the Riverhorse the 3rd Saturday (I think) of every month.
And the Cactus Club from time to time.

Oh, and he is sourasher on the forum.

I grew up in Theinsville. It's "the village" to those in the know. Enjoy the trip!!

recommended Madison bars:
Mickey's Tavern ("coolest" bar in terms of people and atmosphere)
Willy St Pub (near east, punk / metal / roller derby friendly)
High Noon Saloon (though there's a crappy show that night)
Paradise Lounge (cheap, punk juke, by the capitol)
Genna's (atmosphere, by capitol)

I'd suggest we hang out if I hadn't recently moved 1800 miles southwest. Still wearing shorts n' t-shirt down here.

yeah, i grew up in thiensvile too (HHS class of 96).

and did my undergrad in Madison (History, class of 99) so i know the bars really all too well. we usually drank at the Paradise, or at the Living Room when it still existed.

Chimbly...I'm gonna be in Wisco from Saturday morning 'til tuesday (no, not the band).

I might be coming down to MKE at some point so PM me your phone # if you could. I'm not sure that I entered it right.

man, he's spinning at mantra? F that noise...that place sucks. but enjoy your stay in brewtown chimbly. i hope you are better able to make due with a short trip than i was.

I know, seriously.
But he's got all these V.I.P passes so we're gonna go cause a rukkus.

word...try to bring the tiki candles downstairs. that should go over well.

woo hoo!
i'm in wisconsin, so if you guys want to give me a call, we'll have a good time, i tell you. ooooooh, yeah. we're having a good time. it's fun out here, doncha know.

How'd the bike/plane thing work for you?

You're just a pup!! I was class of '83 :mad: Did my undergrad in Madison, too. 5 year plan. Left in '88.

Enjoy your trip, Chimbly!!

How'd the bike/plane thing work for you?
"um, that's oversize. is that a bike?"
"no."
"ok. i should charge you for it being oversize, but we're really busy. happy holidays and have a great flight."
aw yeah. peace on earth.

My worry with bringing a bike on a plane has always been rough baggage handlers and not so much the charge that I'd incur.

not a problem if you box it well. my box is BALLISTIC - the serfas case borrowed from the LBS.

Awesome.

sleeping is giving in, no matter what they tell you.
come for one at 10pm. stay if we convince you to just not sleep at all.

If anyone's looking for something to do tonight (Dec. 24th), my friend is DJing tonight at the Riverhorse starting at 10PM. If I didn't have my girlfriend in tow I would bring out my Schwinn Fixed for the trip.
