Cool building in Milwaukee
So we pulled into Milwaukee on a ‘day off,’ aka ‘travel day,’ and had time for some good food and a nice walk.

View from the bridge near the hotel
We were here to play the extremely cool Pabst Theater.

The plaque says it all
The Pabst is one of those extremely cool beautifully restored and maintained historic theaters that dot this great country of ours.

Not bad eh?
Not only was it a great place to play, but the catering was out of this world. Now we need to thank Chef Lou Lou and her gang for the unbelievable and classy feed they fixed for us. Check this desert out.

Not bad eh?
And check this menu out:

In Iowa City we were greeted by a myriad of old friends… and it is always good to see old friends.
