My wife and I will be in Milwaukee the weekend of Feb.3-5. She decided to get us tickets for (my spelling may be wrong) Sueno. Some theatre thing. Does anybody know anything about it?

Also, what's a good place to eat in the downtown area? She's asked me to see if there are any good Cuban restaurants in town.

Yo GD:

Is this what you're looking for....

I don't think so, Jon. This is a play.

She said it's something about some Spanish king who banishes his infant son because of an omen or something.

I just hope she doesn't make me wear a tie.

Hey GD..

Where will you be staying ?

Do you know what theatre you will be going to ?

Tank

I don't know the theatre, but I remember the hotel name because I was making fun of it because of the way it sounded. It's the Pfister.

Thanks, Tank!

I'll have to check with the wife about "free time". She likes to microplan trips, but if she has a slot still open, I would love to smoke one with you, bro!

What's the theatre like...i.e. do I have to wear a tie? LOL

I used to go in dress jeans (if there is such a thing) and a decent shirt or sweater...

there will be many in suits but not to worry its very eclectic (sp?)...they have alot of nice dining in the bldg as well as all around it...

send me your e-mail and I can get ya LOTS of info for the area if ya want it...

We can meet you outside the theatre and smoke in my van if we have too. Maybe while you are at the play you leave to go to the bathroom. When they don't let you return to your seat until intermission we will pick you up in mav's firetruck. Wisk you to the Havana Club which is on 5th street Cuban food, cigars and just accross the 6th street bridge from downtown.

About 15 minute drive from your hotel.

Uhles (youlees) Tobacco is west of the Pfister Hotel on Wisconsin Ave. I think the oldest cigar merchant downtown. Excellent cigars and people. When are you hitting town. Driving or flying?

Driving. We're just across "the border" in Illinois. About an hour and a half drive for us.

In the van, huh? Sounds a little shady... LOL

We'll probably hit town sometime late Friday afternoon.

I'll let you guys know more as soon as I get the schedule from the Mrs. later today.

Oooooohhhhhhhh - MADER'S!!! Sorry, that is my favorite place to eat in Milwaukee. German food, great atmosphere, and they sell cigars!!!!

GD -

It's not Cuban, but one of the cooler, and more unique resteraunts Downtown is the Safe House...and it's right by the Rep! It's a spy themed resteraunt...very James Bond! Complete with Ally enterance, secret passageway out, and password to get in. If you do decide to check it out, email me and I'll give you the password

...perhaps the Reverand and I could also meet up with you for a smoke if you hook up with Baron and the Tanks.

And whatever you do...DO NOT go to the Polaris Room on top the Hyatt for dinner...no matter what anyone tells you, IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

OK, she gave me a glare when I asked what she thought of a mini-herf that weekend. Not that she is opposed to the idea, but I guess this was supposed to be a "romantic weekend"...how the heck was I supposed to know that?! LOL

She did concede that if I wanted to meet up early Sunday afternoon with you guys, she would be game. Don't know if that fits into your schedules...

She mentioned a restaurant called Cubanitas? Do you know anything about it?
