Camp Randall

Posted on 8:16 AM by Unknown
Yea - like you guys are seeing this move also right?   It's creeping me out! 


------------------------------------------------

I need your help.  I get a lot of requests for images of Camp Randall! If you went to UW-Wisconsin and want a Camp Randall memory, is there some place OUTSIDE the stadium that stirs that memory? 

I walked around this bastion of cement and from what I could see . . . it's just a huge block of cement.  I look on the intertube and all the images are from the inside or above.  Since I don't get down there a lot maybe I missed something? 

Speaking of Camp Randall - what happened to all the concerts????  Are there no groups big enough to come to the Stadium?  Did the neighborhood say "TOO LOUD?" like when you move next to a 80,000 seat stadium you are concerned with noise?  

Have you ever thought about if you could go back in time and see one  band that you missed, what band would it be. Me?  I would want to see The Doors!  Just for the coolness factor.  Not Led Zepplin or The Stones and The Beatles, well, could you actually HEAR them when they had a concert?

My very first concert was Jethro Tull, the Aqualung tour and oddly that was The Wood Fairy's 1st concert also.  Saw Tull 3 times, took a few concerts to get his cod piece out of my brain, sort of uncomfortable that first concert.  Saw Pink Floyd six times and (I have to say it) was one of the first 1000 people ON EARTH to hear Dark Side of the Moon live.  Remember, their very first Dark Side concert was in Madison one month BEFORE the album came out.  My mom and dad were there.  I was front row (the worst place for a Floyd concert).  

Who would you want to see?

BTW - searching I think I found a spot for photographs maybe the Camp Randall Memorial/Hall of Fame? A panorama with an ultra wide lens.   hmmmmmmm  However - it faces due east - best light is early morning.
-------------------------------------
Three friends die in a car accident and proceed to an orientation in heaven. They're all asked, "When you're in your casket and friends and family are talking about you, what would you like them to say?"

The first guy says, "I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time, and a great family man."

The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher, which made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow."

The last guy replies, "I would like to hear them say... Look, he's moving!"
-----------------------------------

Did you know that the medical term "stroke" comes from the 16th century, when a person suffering a cerebral hemorrhage was thought to have been hit by "the stroke of God's hand."
-------------------------------------

There is a show on SPIKE called "1000 Ways to Die"  it's sort of the video version of the Darwin Awards.  I believe the Brewers could have their own show called "1000 Ways To Lose".  I mean, how often can you say you lost a game because you lost a Suicide Squeeze war.  That has to be close to some sort of a record where two teams try three suicide squeezes.
------------------------------

Stoughton Art Fair this weekend.  If you are bored take a road trip!

have a cheery day
Rod
