Madison this weekend Jul28 '05
I will making the trip to Madison, Wisconsin, this weekend, for another wedding.
Shell and I are leaving Friday morning, and returning Sunday afternoon.
Our hotel is situated on the "outskirts" of Madison, which certainly makes it easier when we arrive, since we don’t have to drive through the entire town, just to find the hotel. Also, when we leave, we are right next to the highway.
I’ve always thought of Madison as the most "advanced" city in Wisconsin – although I could be way wrong. It just feels like a "booming" town, similar to Orlando, Florida - or something like that. I certainly doesn’t feel much like Wisconsin.
We will be stopping by the Henry Vilas Zoo on Friday afternoon, and then perhaps head to town for a burger and some beers, in the evening. I imagine the "night life" in Madison, in July, is not quite as vibrant as it would be in September, when the college kids are in full session - and most importantly, Badger football.
Also, Shell is bringing her Powerbook, so I can do some minor work.
I am going to get my first ever exposure to Apple’s Keynote, for some simple slide presentations, for a client. I am looking forward to working with the program, as an alternative to PowerPoint.
And I will certainly find time to post some photos on flickr.
