Anyone else from Wisconsin? Or even Illinois, I suppose.
A.
Minnesota is clearly the winner here. I go into Wisconsin when I need to see a concert twice, or when a friend hasn't seen House on the Rock yet.
I haven't seen mention of a MN get together in more than years though, of course I've been gone more than years. Hmmm...
Glitch - Shattered
Tylsar - Prime
In Shattered, no one can hear you scream.

>You would bring a friend to the House on the Rock?!? That's hardly friendly behavior! That place is a tourist trap!
Bah. Only thing remotely good near the House on the Rock is Governor Dodge State Park.
That House on the Rock is dull....Spring Green isn't that exciting either. I used to frequent the art fairs there a lot when I was little - my mom and my aunt used to do a lot of weaving, they'd setup their stands....but that was years ago.
If you ever want to visit my home town, just go on down to Dodgeville. It's not very exciting either, but it's the home of Land's End. However, maybe look into staying at The Don Q Inn out there (http://www.donqinn.net/) if you happen to swing through....spend a night or two in the fun rooms with your significant other.
Majority of my family still lives in Wisconsin (dad's side, that is). I visit once or twice a year out there, but it's always with my wife and kid. Now I'm stuck out here in Minnesota, eh.

@Drumpel - I've been to the Dodgeville courthouse a few times. It's a nice little town. Mineral Point is nice, too.
@Symbol 23 - That book DOES make the House on the Rock seem much better than it actually is. When I first moved to Madison, I took myself sightseeing while my husband was at work. House on the Rock was the thing I was MOST excited to see because of that book. And then it was just kind of a letdown, I suppose.
ANYWAY, back to the topic at hand - Minnesota gathering? When, where, etc? I would have been happy to plan one for Madison, but Minneapolis is outside my expertise.

Not sure if I should ask as to why you've been to the courthouse....
As for Mineral Point, yep, got family there, too. Nice towns; I miss the small town atmosphere that I grew up in, but at the same time I like being in the Twin Cities and having the ability to get to anything I need in a quick, short drive.
