I'm in Wisconsin! Still, being the good Canadian that I am, I did remember to pack two Canadian flags...but then forgot to bring American cash. Oh well. I'm just about to leave my hotel to meet up with a caravan of people and cars where we will coordinate our food and route before hitting the tailgating scene at the Alpine Valley Music Theater. I drove out to the venue last night, but the gate was closed so I just took a picture of the sign.
I also took a little trip into Milwaukee, got myself righteously lost, and was forced to buy a map in order to escape the city.
By night, the downtown was quite pretty and the slum I accidentally found was not. I think I heard a gunshot as I was driving back out of the hood. When I talked to Brian this morning, he said that the last time he stayed in Milwaukee his hotel was in a bad area and someone was shot at the Taco Bell across the street. Apparently, "That's Wisconsin for ya." Great. Maybe I'll leave the Canada flags in my room. Anyway, housekeeping just interrupted me, so I'd better get moving. Here's to my first Alpine show, and here's to Canada!
