First Stop: Madison, Wisconsin

We arrived in Madison, Wisconsin, shortly after 7:00 pm CST. A number of people on our flight were sporting Green Bay Packers logos; no doubt they were eagerly anticipating the matchup on Monday Night Football between the Packers and the Brett Favre-led Minnesota Vikings. The Packers put up a good fight, but they fell to their former quarterback 30-23. Favre is the first QB to have beaten all 32 teams in the NFL. Quite an achievement, even if it comes at the expense of his former team.

Tomorrow, we’ll be showing the documentary at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We’re looking forward to kicking off our tour of Autumn Gem to enthusiastic crowds!

Here are some photos from our first night in Madison. Tanya (big thanks for hosting us!) took us out to eat at The Weary Traveler. I noticed that the restaurant was on Twitter, so I tweeted about my menu choice of Hungarian Goulash. Within minutes, Chef Joey responded back. How’s that for service?
