Default Any Wisconsin people here?

The past few weeks I have been in Madison for training. Gotta go back next week for the last bit. What's the weather usually like mid Nov.? I'll be downtown right next to the capitol building. Any suggestions on good places to eat?

Hey it's a good business ok....

The company who designed and created the software and applications my company uses is in Wisconsin. I have to get certified before I can get access to a lot of things for my job. Certified=more pay. The training facility is pretty sweet though. 500,000sq ft. building, all the water, coffee, soda, juice, milk you can drink. Breakfast and lunch everyday.

Was just 70s early this week, was super nice. Temps are supposed to start dropping now though into the 30s and 40s.

I use to live by the IL/WI boarder. It will be cold and rainy most likely with a mixture of sleet depending on the temp for the day. Lately they have been lucky with warmer temps than normal. But I saw that its going to be 30-40's and rain/snow showers at night parts of the week

dang, you are a long way from home dude! How is it out there?

Honestly, the first thing I would do is find out where the cool college bars are.

When you mentioned all the water, soda, juice ect......It made me think of Pixar. Have you ever been inside their studios? They freaking make it so people never want to leave work. Amazing stuff.

It's actually not horrible, you adjust to it. Like right now it seems really cold to us but that's because we just had all the warm weather. But in spring when it's 40s we all are like damn! it's nice out, I'm wearing shorts!

Well right now I'm in Cali, but I go back on Tuesday. Was there last week and the week before. We went to one college bar and it was all about beer and bacon. Yes they served bacon from behind the bar. Cool thought at first but doesn't sit so well later on.

I haven't been inside Pixar, but I've seen some specials on it. I can actually see the Pixar building though right now from where I'm sitting at work. Pretty cool view. Was in a meeting a few days ago and I could see the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge while sitting in the conference room.
