MadisonWisconsin

Cute! Cute and more cute! I love Madison! Thank you Chris my friend from Facebook for making me want to check it out! So nice to be outside of the woods for a little while, just as it is a nice thing to be out of the city for awhile! This little college town has quite the heart! Very diverse community, a nice place for hippies, college bound, professionals, alternative folks.. I love it… When in town, be sure to check out State Street~ a very hip area, street performers, quaint shops, and restaraunts line the streets.  Then head over to the Student Union… Grab a pitcher of your favorite beer, I will suggest Hoppolicious, a Hamburger, sit on the lake terrace and listen to the band play. Family friendly, tons of people, a great place to relax and hang out… easily you could spend the day and get lost in time here! Williamson Street is its own little mecca itself, this runs parallel to an amazing lake. I am sure there are many other cool niches in this town, but, this one I know being we slept on the side of the road here for a couple nights!  Coffee Shops, Bakerys, Bars, Victorian close knit homes! Love it! Almost don’t want to leave, but, at the same time… it is time to move on…. being somewhere more then 4 days doesn’t sound appealing to me right now, unless it is SLC…

Our first night in Madison, Chelsea-Rain found an open mic night at Escape Coffee House and Art Gallery on Williamson St. Very exciting as a few short months ago, she wouldn’t even let me hear her sing! She did great! Only was to have 3 songs prepared, Alex (the man in charge) asked her to continue and play more, I believed she did about 5 songs. She sounded great through the microphone, looked cute as always and Alex and the owner, Dwayne, invited Chelsea to come back and play Saturday, which was last night.

10 songs down… and my girl did awesome as I knew she would, prior to her going on, was Adam Pitt~ wow! this kid could rock it! Chel is still new to playing in front of others, that seeing this boys stage presence it made her a little nervous.  We had a fabulous time in Madison, met some amazing people we will never forget. Got to hang out with my friend Chris Johanowicz… and let me say having a friend in town to show you around is invaluable! Thank you Chris!

~ well, waking now and off to Michigan~ we are picking up another inverter while we are there. With $300 to our name … Well $290 after we buy coffee, wish us luck!
