Saturday
March 13th
Hung-over and driving through sleet and snow I thought of San Francisco
going through it 80 plus degree heatwave, we had to stop for some pictures
in the snow.
Got to Madison also known as ‘Madtown’ for reasons I now understand
and started with a Jack & Coffee to get the evening started, deal
with the hangover and get a little energy.
I
played @ Warm @ the Mercury bar with AKA JK and Krafty. It was a more
chill/groovy breaks set with tracks by Red Star, SOTO, that Requiem
boot etc
We then headed over to the Blue Fin (where I would be playing on the
Monday) as Charles Feelgood was there and we thought it might be good
too check out. His mixing was tight and the crowd was into it, but the
beats were not really my vibe, so after heading back to Warm and then
another after party, we headed homeward where Xeke and the lovely Nickee
were hosting me and I could finally crash.
Sunday
March 14th
I wondered around Madison with the crew, it is a nice looking city (very
much a college town) with all medium high 
buildings,
because none of them are allowed to be taller than the state capital
building that is located downtown. Anyway I found us on a kiosk downtown
>>>>
I also went to MC Audio where Xeke works and they have the dopest audio
gear, they are big on Bag End sound, my personal favorite for breaks,
they have a solid breaks selection of vinyl, both backstock and new
releases.
I had a mission to try as many of the local Brews as were available
while I was there as some folks had told me Mid-West beers were really
good. Fat Tire and Capital beers stood out from the rest.
Monday March 15th
I
played at Shivan at the Blue Fin thrown by Nickee who is head of Syrenity
Productions.
Jeremy AKA Krafty and the club owner tried to get me too drunk to play
by feeding me an endless supply of Cutty Black (100% proof) and Jamesons
shots. Nevertheless the set went down well and the more ragga style
breaks I played that night were well accepted, Dissolvent dropped some
wicked beats too along with Krafty.
And back to the house we went for an ‘after-bar’ again.
