I should add, I'll be around, though Boston would be significantly easier for me than Worcester for anything going late-ish. Daytime stuff on Sunday could be a plus.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

we might even make a day of it and crash somewhere for a night.
Yay! I think we'll be around, in which case you are welcome to crash at Casa Theremin.

I'm bitter about missing the F2F, but some Boston outings will help wash out the nasty taste! Count me in for the Summer Shack.

Is there anyone arriving in Madison on Thursday? Ginger gets in around 2pm, I can ferry a couple other people if needed. Also, it would be nice to do dinner with those getting in early, if everyone's up to it.

I am! And I'm bringing Scola with me. I think some other Chicagoans were talking about Thursday as well.
Wonder if there's a pub quiz somewhere we could invade on Thursday?

Quaker Steak has a sort of pub quiz. People don't usually team up, althought they often do, it's usually individual players, but it's a lot of fun. There may be other places in town, but that's the only one I'm familiar with.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Crap.
A 43-mile stretch of westbound Interstate 94 from just north of Madison to Mauston is closed due to rising water on the Baraboo River.
Eastbound I-94 is closed at Wis. State Hwy. 82 in Juneau County. Westbound I-94 also is closed west of Johnson Creek at the Crawfish River bridge.

In addition to the freeways, scores of state highways and county roads have been shut down, the patrol and the Department of Transportation said.
Drivers are strongly advised not to travel in the south central part of Wisconsin due to many flooded state and local highways, the State Patrol and Department of Transportation officials said.

Do things like this clear up in less than a week?

Generally, yes. What's the forecast looking like for this week.
