I am going to Chicago and Milwaukee over labor day. I have had some great help in the Chicago thread but didn't want to muck it up with Milwaukee stuff. If you had a day in Milwaukee what would you do, where would you go, where would you eat? I am not to picky but I love getting the local flavor so I am open for most things...I will be traveling with the wife and 5 month old son. I do see lots of cheese and Leinenkugels in my future! Also any Lake Michigan suggestions..I think I read there are sand dunes near Milwaukee... Thanks

After much debating and internet research I got an ok deal downtown. Staying at the Mile North Hotel...only $195 with $52 a night parking I will probably be parking elsewhere but will appreciate the ability to be downtown. Thanks for all the advice...I feel like a lost puppy and I go to NYC every week...

Yeah checked out priceline and orbitz...hard to book when you need a guaranteed crib in the room ...anyone know of an area right outside the city thats an easy train ride in? Ahh hotdog mmmm can't wait!

Hey thanks for the reply! I am not finding anything 3* and up under $250 downtown...parking also is between $40-50 a night too! WOWZA!

I'm going to Chicago over labor day! I have not been since 1994! I am going with the wife (Who's never been) and my 5 month old son. Help me find a reasonable hotel near a cta line stop for easy access to the city...I may just stay near O'hare and take the blue line because hotels are $200 chepaer then downtown! Other suggestions... Also while your at it...where is the best place to get a chicago hot dog?

Is there any underlying thing that changed your opinion on Bruce? Just curious..I have some bands I think of differently based on what was going on in my life when certian songs were on etc...well thanks for the review anyways I am debating on seeing a show in Sept so there is that.

How was it?

Max might not swing on a ESB tour but on Conan he has lots of swing...could be the musical stylings?

Saw Bloc Party yesterday...

I was at that River show...was sweet!

Me three! Still my favorite show! Jeff Crowd Surfs right by me during Box Full of Letters?

Ah nice read...

Here is Forbes' full World's Highest-Paid DJs list: 1. Tiësto — $22 million 2. Skrillex — $15 million 3. Swedish House Mafia — $14 million 4. David Guetta — $13.5 million 5.

Flaming Lips and Prince were both very productive in the 00's

tis true..

Yeah I see what they are saying but it is bad to call the Estreet band a backing band..but it is their poll.

Wilco 23 ....R.E.M. 1 http://weepingelvis....ver/#more-14386 E Street band should be on there...hmm

and Wilco shows are considered marathons at 2 hours...come on Wilco show the Boss up?!

WOW! Would have loved to even see the acoustic part! 4 and a half hours is unreal!

Toad The Wet Sprocket! Yes that's right....

Just saw Sigur Ros last night! Their first show in 4 years! Incredible show!

Love that 1st Encore! Was supposed to go last night but couldn't, went Tuesday instead...Ironically songs I requested for Tuesday (Say You Miss Me) night and Wed (Too Far Apart) night got played! Next time Wilco! Still one hell of a run! PS On a side note only two from Yankee!..that's got to be a record low for a live show!

http://www.nme.com/n...our-lives/65129 Another one of my favorites are throwing in the towel! I think they were very underrated! I loved their live shows..I probably saw them 10 times in the last decade..

Show was Amazeballs! ha ha been waiting forever to hear Say You Miss Me and Wishful Thinking live (Now I heard everything live off Both being There and Ghost! Huzzah)! Never thought I would hear them both in 1 show! I think maybe the read my post in the last brooklyn thread as no Im trying, Jesus and Heavy Metal Show was great! Thanks as always Wilco!
