We hit the road early afternoon for Madison. We stayed at the Hotel Indigo, which is steps from the concert venue, and in an old paint factory which was very cool. The weather was pretty gross the day we got there, but we walked down State Street and grabbed a quick, early dinner at Taiwan Little Eats. I didn't remember buying VIP tickets the concert, but earlier this week started getting emails about entry. Figured we better take advantage of it. The only catch is, we needed to be in line by 6:30pm before doors opened. The concert was at 8:00pm. We made it, and were pleased by our purchase considering we didn't have to wait outside, and were front and center. Typically we'd roll in around 7:45pm or so -- and the place was packed by then. It worked out great, and we got to talk to some really nice people who were around us. The concert was amazing ... but I already mentioned that. After the concert, we grabbed some late night food and a drink at the hotel before calling it a day.
The next morning we hit State Street again to find some breakfast. The place we wanted to go to had a line around the corner, so we decided to keep going since it was not even 20 degrees out at that time. We wandered through the State Capitol and over to Marigold Kitchen. It also had a line, but was maybe 20 minutes, so doable. It was totally worth it. Breakfast was the best I've had in a long time. Afterwards, we went to the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. I have no idea why, but this was our first time ever visiting it. The museum is free, and a perfect size. It was another highlight of the weekend. The Federico Uribe was so fun. We also discovered the best views of State Street. Honestly, the weekend was pretty perfect. Such a fun getaway.
