Thursday night we left and made it to Madison where we stayed in a hostel and saw the Disco Biscuits play the majestic. The sunset on the drive up was rad, the crowd was surprisingly straight-laced and the show started strong but finished a little slow. I had an awesome time because I was happy to get out of town with my J! We got our picture taken by a guy who said he runs the website for the venue, so hopefully those will go up soon! The next morning we ate at the Sunroom Cafe which is an awesome little second-floor breakfast place I loved when I used to live in Madison for a short while. Friday we drove from Madison to Minneapolis, where I have never been before. What a rad city!!! They have this Skyway which is a walkway that goes between all the buildings on the second floor above the street so you never have to go outside in the cold. We stayed at a Marriott and got this rockin' corner room that was huge with a rad view, and we ate at Masa, which is this modern Mexican place, totally upscale, sweet Sangria that we overindulged in a bit. We saw the Biscuits play First Avenue, which was a pretty shady place. They did full searches at the door so J had to run back and put stuff in the hotel room and I waited there 'cause it was cold, which sketched me out. The set the band played was so AWESOME it should probably have been illegal. Seriously, download it, Disco Biscuits in Minneapolis last night. Today we drove to Chicago and we're at this little B&B in Wicker park. J's napping and I'm getting ready... 10 minutes until I get to trip and rock out!!! Wish me fun, better entry soon, I promise!

Wow - you had rockin' hotel rooms!
Sounds like you are having one hell of a time. Just be careful...and wow those rooms rocked cant wait to here more about your "trip" hows the eating going?
Love, Z
Sounds like a fun trip! I can't wait to hear more about it =]
I don't know how long you two are in Chicago, but if you want a really nice romantic dinner some night, I HIGHLY recommend reserving a table at the Gejas Cafe. It's a fondue place which is underground (basement level), surrounded by wine bottles & candles & even a live flaminco guitarist if you're lucky! It's a favorite of my best friend & I :) If y'all need any other Chicago-related tips, you know who to ask!
Kara- ya, these were the good ones... we also stayed in a hostel in Madison which was cool, but not pic-worthy :)
Zena- Oh, I'm always careful ;) Haha, hmm... eating... touchy subject right now :(
Katie- Thanks for the interest!
Coke- We unfortunately are back already, but we are moving up this summer, so I will def have to remember that, it sounds awesome! Thanks so much !
FUN!
Oh yea :)
Those are such beautiful pictures! I wish the weather was like that in my part of town! :)
haha, the weather wasn't great- it was like 10 degrees with tons of snow on the ground... but at least it wasn't snowING.
