Madison Redux

We stopped by Madison yesterday, and what visit to Madison would be complete without seeing old pals…

First of all, traffic was crazy. Like Madison crazy times two! We figured it was all the students, but Taste of Madison was also going on, so parking was nuts, and walking took careful steps.

I just had to go to Ear Wax, which is run by Dave Barber from Inspector 12. Ear Wax is for lovers of the punk rock and metal music. If you love that stuff, check it out. (They also have a store in “Westallica” aka West Allis.) It was good to see Dave and catch up and what he (and others) have been up to.

After that, it was on to see the other Inspector 12 guy, Brian Jansen who co-own Capitol City Tattoo. I saw Brian last year so there wasn’t quite as much to catch up on, but we did get to talk about the shop, look through some books, and he told me about this guy who got a tattoo of Tigger chopping off Winnie the Pooh’s head with an axe… on his butt…

Madison is my favorite city to visit in Wisconsin. I think if I didn’t live where I do now, I’d consider Madison as my home…
