Max, Dan, Christian, and I in Milwaukee

1st photo, 1st day, testing. I saw a "construction shack!"  The Courtyard by Mariott in Milwaukee. Checkin.

Freed from the mundane hassle of where to sleep, we step out to harass the town.

1st stop, Wendy's senior art show at the MIAD. This is a batch (can you call art a "batch" or is that demeaning?) of self-portraits about which Christian & I argued if they were demented. Some of them are painfully self-evident and dark. Others lilting and playful.  

I've never seen an art show (a "batch" of art shows?) so crowded. You couldn't breathe. One of the garage-type buildings had no heat, but since there were so many people in there it seemed kind of stuffy and warm. 

A lot of my photos look like this. Dark. Vaguely something or other. I think this is the hotel room in the morning. 

We made it to Jason & Staci's. They have a house and a child. We were all completely impressed.

See the look of astonishment?

Christian was petrified--literally. He didn't move a muscle for about an hour.

I, of course, became great friends with the cat.

We went out to eat, and to visit Genghis Khan.

Mmmm. It was good.

Warm fuzzies and goodbyes.

bye.

bye.
Below: I was sitting in the front seat, Max in the back. I lifted the camera over my head, and down on the other side of the headrest, upside down. Amazingly, she was in the camera's view--

So the actual photo looks like this.

But here it is the other way if you're not spatially gifted.

As we were leaving town, LOOK! A convertible stadium!


Look! A building where they ran out of funding at the top!


Look! A building which never had funding to begin with!
