May 28th

May 28th, 2011

Since the middle of February Saturday's have been "Rally Day" here in Madison. Every weekend there is a rally of some sort.

Today there were not any big rallies. You see, it is Bratfest weekend here in Madison. The worlds largest bratfest to be precise. However, this fantastic, enormous bratfest is sponsored by Johnsonville Brats. I company with some sketchy politics, one of which is being a huge supporter of Governer Walker.

So, instead of rallying at the capitol, the people put on their own bratfests. Sure, the "official" bratfest was still big and crowded as ever, but three alternatives sprung up for people who didn't want to support Johnsonville.

Today we went to two of them the "People's" bratfest and the "Wurst of Times" brat fest. They were both great, but I have to say that the Wurst was better! 20 free live bands to enjoy, and great brats.

Before we went to either fest though we stopped by the new democratic party offices in Madison to help them decorate the walls. The boys were glad to donate thier signs from the first rally that we went to (the one for the teachers). The picture of them with their signs on the wall is portrait and so it won't fit in my 365 book, but this one of them outside the office is pretty cute.
