Now that would be a heckuva road trip! Problem with going to such a small place like Bellevue is convincing the wife that there's a lot to do, like spending a day "window" shopping on the Magnificent Mile... Smile

Note that it's Belleville, not Bellevue.

I've never been there, but it's in a very lovely part of Wisconsin. Very near Madison, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin isn't too far away either. New Glarus is a quaint little town nearby.

JZ, here's what you do--fly into Chicago mid-week, spend a day or two here (including some Magnificent Mile shopping, for example), then rent a car for the weekend trip up to WI, stay at a nice B&B, and hit the festival.

Nice lineup--Sonny Landreth and Robben Ford on back-to-back nights, not bad at all.

You guys are making it tough to say no! And, I crack myself up with Bellevue. Perhaps I need to check in... Laughing

Ok, let me work on it. Believe me, I'd love to go. Wifey's the easy part; funds are a different story. Maybe if we get a good gov't spending check...
