Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Six or eight hours.

And Sumi nails it, though there are plenty of things that are, ahem, uniquely Milwaukee.

Six or eight hours.

From Madison, about six hours. Pretty straight shot on I-94. Also, a very pretty drive.

I didn't know they had a boat tour of microbreweries! That's one thing I may have to check out with some friends, or my brother. I do know that the Third Street Pier, one of my favorite restaurants, has dinner cruises on the river. Could probably get a pretty good discount for a group outing.

P-Moon, have you tried the convention bureau? In my Seattle search they got me quotes well below any other listings I found.

I'd suggest everyone cobbling together info to contact them. HUGELY helpful. Heck, they could flat out answer "what is a cheap weekend without much going on?" and questions like that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

P-Moon, have you tried the convention bureau?

I've been leaving messages for the women who originally emailed me for a month now, with no response.

People who recently had the pleasure of billytea's company:

Does he drink Coke or Pepsi? Or something else entirely?

Blood of innocents, I'm pretty sure. Or wait, was that diet blood of innocents?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I thought it was squid juice.
