Dairyland Dolls narrowly defeat Baltimore's Charm City Rollergirls

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:33:12 +0200

On Saturday night, Madison's all-star derby team, the Dairyland Dolls, squared off against the Charm City Rollergirls. Hailing from Baltimore, Charm City was ranked higher than us in the Women's Flat Track Derby Association rankings. As soon as the bout began, it was evident that they deserved their ranking. I've seen a lot of bouts in the past four years, and this was by far one of the best. Both teams played great and the score was neck and neck for most of the night, excepting a 14 point lead they opened up when our jammer was in the penalty box.

Hold the Lake: Lake Delton Three Weeks Later

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:52:00 +0200

On June 9th, the lake’s swells overtopped County Highway A along the northeastern section of Lake Delton after a weekend of heavy storms. I watched as it was happening, staring at the television in my second-story apartment in Madison, with just fifty miles between me and the breach. The houses dangled and then tipped into the water as the earth beneath them gave way. Newscasters in polo shirts and fishing waders pointed out to middle the temporary river as a home took off downstream headed toward the Wisconsin. Less than four hours later, Lake Delton was gone.

Following up on my post of Day 1 photos of the Madison to Bonnaroo experience, here's Day 2, including highlights from the morning press conference, some crowd scenes, performances from !!!, M.I.A., SuperJam, and the Silent Disco.

As previously noted, captions don't really line up with their photos here. As long as you're more sober than we were at Bonnaroo, you should be able to figure it out. If you're a Firefox ninja, just view this post without styles (View > Page Style > No Style), otherwise just relax and enjoy the pretty pictures :-)

Madison to Bonnaroo in photos: Day 1

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 01:13:22 +0200

Dane 101 followed a sizable contingent of Madisonians down to Tennessee last week for the Bonnaroo Music Festival. A pre-festival intro is posted here, and an interview with a perennial Bonnaroo attendee is posted here; raw note dumps from the trip are available here, here, here, here, and here.

With a new laptop in tow, I didn't really have an image workflow dialed in yet, so while I was able to post text updates from the field, photos had to wait 'til now. Here's the road down and Day 1 from Bonnaroo, in photos:

Shawn, Mark, Shane, Kevin, Phil (me), Ethan, and Wyndham pose for a "before" picture in the Woodman's parking lot.
