Looks like I'll not be making the "Badger Bowl" this year -- committments elsewhere at that time.  For those of you who may be attending for the first time, hotel/motel availability is at somewhat a premium that time of year.  'copia is normally during the same time window as state-wide high school playoffs.  I found this out the hard way last year (my first at 'copia).  I wound up staying at a very nice place, but it was a "hike" to the 'copia site.  So ... book early!  (I might add the motel was "teaming" with high school kids...and parent...one night and I felt I nearly had the place to myself the next night.)

Very true dd.
I believe the Clarion is already booked up.  Lucky for me Geo got our rooms a few weeks ago.  I do have a list of a few options near by if anyone needs them let me know.  I have the phone numbers too.

We are planning to be at Canoecopia this year and have room reservations.  We are available for lunch or dinner Saturday, so let us know what sort of plans you are making, please.

Spartans1 and 2.

Count Scott, Brian, Kelly and I in for lunch at the Badger Bowl.  Prices look reasonable and the menu looks good.

Looking forward to meeting a good number of the QJ regulars.  Spartan 2 can take a group portrait but I am sure there will be a number of other cameras there also.

Since no one is heading this up, I'll propose that we meet at 1:00PM at he Badger Bowl for a QJ Pink Flamingo reunion. This will give those who are driving in from a distance a chance to get there. Order from menu. We trust Jimbo will bring the pinks and an appropriate banner. Who wants to be in charge of setting this up with Badger Bowl? Anyone live in Madison area? Wear your QJ colors!
Free pack extenders will be awarded to anyone who buys me lunch.  Wink

Count me in, Saturday at 1:00 pm, sound good to me.
I don't know anyone in Madison WI,  but if you like I can call and set things up?  I'm sure they will want to know aprox. how many.  
I'll be more than happy to head it up if you like?  I'll start a list, PM or email me
qp@wildernesspasages.com  if someone in Madison steps up I'll send them the list.

Mrs. fishinbuddy and I will be there.  QP if you want to call and warn them.  It looks like about 12 but, I think we may get a few more people.  I would suggest we take a last minute count and let them know. 

We may want to start new thread to stay on topic and see how many will be going to the badger bowl for lunch, and pictures.  Maybe we can get one of our excellent photographers to bring their camera...any volenteers...

I lived in Madison for three years and have visited there many times, it is one of my favorite places to go. Unforunatly I have never been to the canoecopia, but it looks like a lot of fun.

The Badger bowl is an interesting choice for lunch, it is close and should be enjoyable. If you are planning on spending anytime in Madison you need to visit the Essen Haus for dinner and music or at least beer and music. It is a great mix of people especially if you stick around for the music.

also try a meal at the Great Dane brew pub, it is just off the capital square and has a great menu along with great beer.

Enjoy your trip.....you have me thinking of excuses to come up and visit.

How could I ever pass on more of that Spotted Cow beverage that Kingfisher & I were pouring last year??

Mrs. Jimbo & I will be in attendance.  She has decided to go slumming & check out the denizens of the QJ internet world where I live [it was either take her to "investigate" OR she was ready to sign the necessary papers to have me committed].

See you at the Badger Bowl!!

Jimbo   Cool
