Milwaukee to Madison is pretty much the bus. Badger Bus costs $20 one way. It sounds like Brenda is going to be stopping in Milwaukee on her way to Madison, you might want to see if that's a possible hook up.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Maria! Saw your post over in Beep Me, and I just e-mailed you. I'm up here in Wheeling, right next door to where you'll be at, and would love a get-together.
Would other Chicago-istas be interested in schlepping up here to the NW 'burbs, or would the city work better for y'all? If it's a question of transportation, I can pick anyone up at the Metra station in Wheeling or Northbrook.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Kathy, I'll probably ping you back later tomorrow. I won't be able to do anything Saturday (funeral), but as of right now Sunday is wide open. If people find that something works for them tomorrow during the day, go ahead and make the plan. I'm up for anything, either in the city or out. All I need is an address and a time.

This is very long-lead, but I'm going to be in SF the second weekend in August for a wedding. The wedding is on a Friday (8/8/08, along with about 15 bazillion other Chinese weddings), so I'll basically have all weekend free to hang with 'ffistas! Whee!
Also, if anyone is free to babysit while we're at the ceremony, it would be AWESOMELY cool of you. He'll be 14 months at that point.
(If it were up to me and I had unlimited funds, I'd start at Comic-Con and just work my way up the coast for the next week and a half visiting people. Unfortunately, such is not the case. But if anyone wants to come up to SF and meet me...)

I'm not sure what my Sunday will look like yet but keep me posted on any plans that develop. I'd love to see MFNLaw, and the rest of the Chicagoans.

BLAST, this is after we move, but there is a chance K-Bug is staying here. If so, she may be available to babysit if you (shockingly) don't have other takers.

I am also unsure of what my Sunday will look like. I doubt I'll be able to make it out to the suburbs, but I could crawl out of bed for a few hours to join if y'all want to meet up a little closer to downtown.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Buffista toddler party! Seriously. He and Matilda and Emmett (and if K-Bug wants to assist, that'd be awesome) can hang out here and stack things and knock them over and we can all go to the playground in Golden Gate Park and ride the carousel and visit the giant ferns and feed the ducks in the secret pond, and there will be pictures to ensure that all the other Buffistas die of teh cute.

As long as they're revived in time for a Saturday brunch, I support this plan! (Unless it turns out that we aren't free for brunch - wedding plans are all at the "save the date" stage for now, so I don't know what other events the couple will have planned. Or they might want us all completely out of their hair once the reception ends!)
