    Madison, WI or Madison, MI?

    This is the same weekend as Chicago Great Places & Spaces (or Spaces & Places?) - it's like a weekend festival for people who like architecture, and Chicago has some great buildings. I wanted to go a year or so ago but didn't make it. Hotels may fill up quickly.

    Midwestern boardies might want to check out the Megabus, with very low-cost bus travel between Midwest cities. The buses are nice, too! megabus.com

    The food hall on the lower level of the Macy's on State Street (the old Marshall Field's) is a good place to eat - lots of options and not too expensive.

    (okay, end of travel agent spiel) smile.gif

    Wisconsin smile.gif I had no idea there was a Madison, MI. I've only lived here 15 years...yips. But yes I am hoping to be in the city by 6pm.

    I am SO so proud of my big brother for graduating law school, but I am going to be VERY anxious that afternoon for his ceremony will be over haha. rolleyes.gif

    I thought it was UWM, but wanted to be sure. You'll have plenty of time to get here, it's like a 2 and a half hour drive. And congrats to your brother for graduating law school! A friend of mine graduated last year (John Marshall Law School) and is working on passing the Bar.

    hello Madison! I live near Milwaukee.

    My family and I are planning on going. Thanks for posting it! We will take the train from Milwaukee to Chicago, it's less stressful than driving in Chicago. If you see a crazy redhead with two teenagers and a bald guy...that's me with my family;)

    I can't wait for some warm weather and a chance to be outside.

    So OK Go IS playing at my school's Festival [aka Manifest].

    Thank you Dan Konopka for attending Columbia smile.gif

    Damn, Columbia has the coolest alumni . . .

    hey all! I just wanted to give a heads up for hotels.

    We booked our rooms last night. We called 3 Hotels, 1 of which owns 8 other hotels in that area and told us all their rooms were sold out for that weekend. Another Hotel told us that they had rooms available for $495 a night!!! Our rooms went up $10 while booking them online. I think it's going to be a packed event.

    So, if you are planning on staying in Chicago in a hotel, book now!

  • rain7lookrain7look
    Yeah it will be extremely packed. It was packed last year when Lupe Fiasco headlined and he's not even that awesome.
  • firexpert6firexpert6
    Yeesh. Looks like I will be making a one-nighter out of this show.
  • walk2sockwalk2sock
    Oh man, will I be getting home late. This is also the weekend before finals week, eek. I can fit my studying in other times, I guess... I think OK Go and my academics are of almost equal importance. laugh.gif

    Gah, it's not on the shows page anymore. It's still up at High Road, though.

    *zoinks*
  • canoe7grapecanoe7grape
    sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy what?!
  • beckysiouxbeckysioux
    Yep, that's what went through my mind.
  • dollarflame6dollarflame6
    Don't worry; that happened before with other shows. As long as it's on High Road, I wouldn't worry, dears.
