raining &#8211; as it is right now in Madison, as I write this, already the following Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Mark and I went to Starbucks, and I took my computer for the free wifi, and wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/2010\/08\/08\/vacation\/\">an earlier blog post<\/a>. We woke up the kids and pent some time checking all kinds of weather forcasts, on phones and TV and computers. We voted to see where we wanted to go eat &#8211; I campaigned for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loumitchellsrestaurant.com\/\">Lou Mitchell&#8217;s<\/a>, as an adventure, and a Chicago experience. But I got out-voted for the convenience of the same place we went Saturday &#8211; the <a href=\"http:\/\/media1.px.yelpcdn.com\/bphoto\/7PD9Qkx1nsuntcrEUqXxjA\/l\">Cozy Corner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The rain pretty much stopped and we headed downtown. The kids went to Lollapalooza &#8211; we went to the Museum of Contemporary Art, and saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcachicago.org\/calder\/\">Calder show<\/a>. Coincidentally, <a href=\"http:\/\/scout.wisc.edu\/Reports\/ScoutReport\/2010\/scout-100813-geninterest.php#7\">I just wrote about it in the Scout report<\/a> &#8211; the show paired Calder with 7 younger artists, who&#8217;s work shows his influences. But the best part was that they put all the Calders in one big room, and the made a kind of meta Calder, mobiles and stabiles seen in relation to each other.<\/p>\n<p>We played with the iPhone 4G at the Apple Store &#8211; made a face in face call &#8211; and bought some bright-colored wine stoppers at Crate &amp; Barrel. Then we split a sandwich and a salad at Corner Bakery, got cold drinks at Starbucks and finally moseyed on down to the show.<\/p>\n<p>We just camped out at the northern end and saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whoismgmt.com\/us\/home\/\">MGMT<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanmary.com\/\">The National<\/a>, and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.arcadefire.com\/\"> Arcade Fire<\/a>. It was pretty squeezy getting out &#8211; don&#8217;t know why they couldn&#8217;t just take all the barricades down at that point &#8211; but the guy in front of me that I kept getting shoved up against couldn&#8217;t have been better &#8211; he wasn&#8217;t drunk, he didn&#8217;t smell bad, and the shirt he was wearing was really soft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we got up on Sunday morning in Oak Park, for the last day of Lollapalooza, it was raining &#8211; as it is right now in Madison, as I write this, already the following Friday.
