Frell -- Brooklyn Marriott quoted me $219 for a group rate. So that's off the table.
Left a message w/ the Holiday Inn.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Our wings are not tired
That's a bummer. I'd love to do Brooklyn.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm actually hoping for NYC, too. It could be doable for me since we now have Jet Blue service and I have a friend who has an apartment where I could stay in Tribecca.

I like Milwaukee. Not as much as I like Madison, but close.
Madison is much cooler, but it costs more to fly into Madison than Milwaukee. Much fewer direct flights. I'd be happy with either and I'd even help Brenda with the pimping of Milwaukee. Right off the bat, I'd offer up the Milwaukee Art Museum. Cool looking building, plus they have some outstanding Arts and Crafts exhibits, AND a permanent Georgia O'Keefe exhibit. Not a lot in it, but there it is.

The regular museum is pretty cool, too. You can do a boat tour of microbreweries, and I happen to have recently discovered the only tiki bar in town. It used to be a punk club, who started doing "Tuesday Night Tiki" as a lark. It was so popular, it's now all tiki all the time.
Thing is? The clientele didn't change. So it's this tiki bar serving purple drinks and playing tiki music, all full of tattoed, pierced, colorfully-haired people in black.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Is the Art Museum the one right on the Lakefront? If so, I've been there. Fond but not terribly specific memories.
Madison is driveable from Milwaukee, but that raises the issues of having cars.
Oh, and Old World Wisconsin is a short drive from Milwaukee.

I've got good friends in Madison, so it would be an extra-bonus city for me!
How much of a drive is it to Minneapolis?

Art Crawl!!!
Milwaukee is fun. I saw INXS there and thought it was like a weird little Chicago w/o the tall buildings.
