Only in Milwaukee…

Only in Milwaukee will you find people who understand and show compassion when you turn down a night of a few cocktails for reasons to conserve your energy and money for the following days drinking event. We (or maybe “I”) should be considered so lucky to be surrounded by as many drunks as we are…which is really one of Milwaukee’s greatest charms. I definitely don’t think this would be the case in any other city in the United States…well, maybe the exception is Vegas…but that city is far too over stimulating with the flashing lights and constant stream of entertainment from whatever direction you look in anyway.

But it’s true. I just received a call from a friend who needed me to check out his band this evening…a gig they’re hoping to have on a monthly basis, which is why they need as many bodies to fill the venue for support…the more people who show, the more secure the gig becomes. He was very considerate, supportive, and understanding when I told him the reason for my absence was due to a pub crawl that I was partaking in the following day. Both events are a big deal here in Milwaukee…but I’m pretty sure only a fellow Milwaukeean would see it that way.

I live in a good state…but an even better city…just saying.
