best sights of Wiscon trip

(This is the last Wiscon post. The delay is due to the obligatory Wiscon cold, which has sapped all the energy not used for resuming work.)

• Dance party in general and specific.
  ( It happened! )
  
  
  
• Happy faces of friends.
  
  
• Geoff Ryman pattern-mixing like a boss. (Monday morning? Black small sketchy pattern on white shirt, small pattern on white vest.)
  
  
• The GLOWING RED EYE of the Minnesota Lottery loon sign, which made me laugh aloud walking through the airport.
  
  
• The Capitol and Concourse from the sky! I haven't really looked before, and I was all excited when I saw them.
  
  
• Olbrich Botanical Gardens: ( Lots of photos )
  
  
  
• Swimming mammal. jesse_the_k is pretty definite that muskrats are known on Lake Mendota and otters wouldn't like it there, though it seemed a little large for a muskrat. I do not think it was a nutria.

• And sunset on the lake:
  

Things to remember for next time:

• Talk to Reena in Fanny Garver Gallery
  
• Videos for Laurie Toby Edison
  
• Have dinner on the roof of the museum!
