This weekend is Easter weekend. Friday after work I watched the Badgers play NC State. The Badgers comfortably won which was a refreshing change as opposed to their normal play. I met Luedke after the game at BBC’s on North Ave. I had a beer to celebrate the big win and headed home and got some sleep.

Saturday was a lot of fun. Luedke and Anna joined me for the Riverwest Pub Crawl. The crawl consisted of 19 bars and you could consume one free beer at each bar. The crawl was $30 and more than worth it. We got our free t-shirt and map and off we went to explore the Riverwest area. Riverwest is actually kind of a sketchy part of town but there were hundreds of people on this bar crawl and there were always groups of people around. All the details of the crawl would take way too long to explain so here is a bulleted list of the highlights.

• Ate a pickled egg
• Met two old ladies on the crawl who were wearing plastic cups on their heads and said they were so hungover after last years crawl that their hair hurt
• Saw memorial to some guy that got killed in front of one of the bars
• Saw Peep art
• Saw crazily dressed band at a couple bars
• got buzzed in through buzzer door by the bartender/doorman at a sketchy bar
• Purchased old records from a yard sale
• Ran into guys from Random Lake
• Met Spike “the mayor of Riverwest”

The whole thing was very fun and I must thank L and Anna for going along with me. I had a good time and made it to 18 of the 19 bars. Easter I just stayed at home and watched basketball. I didn’t feel like going to Chicago with J so I just stayed put. I made a good ham and will have enough ham to eat for the next couple months. Unfortunately the Badgers lost to North Carolina. They played really good but didn’t have quite enough in the end. Happy Easter!
