Although it sounds like there will be some of that it sounds like and the impression I have always have are more campus town during VEISHEA and less frat boys going to dinner together.

Another website I found talked about a mardi gras like atmosphere (complete with topless women).
You are correct. My company has our main warehouse in KY and I know some people that have gone to the derby infield. They say it's rowdy AF.

So early this morning, a man kills another man in West Allis (Milwaukee suburb). There's a drive by shooting this afternoon near the Dells, suspect vehicle is pursued. Stop sticks were deployed, vehicle stops near Deforest (north Madison), driver gets out with a gun in hand and walking towards police. Police shoot the guy and is Medflighted out. Turns out it's the suspect from West Allis. I90/94 is still blocked off in both directions at 2 different locations currently.

After watching some videos from the Derby infield on YouTube... I'm no longer concerned about what to wear with the shirt.

I really should be going to bed at a reasonable hour, however, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon are on in The Adjustment Bureau!

Like most normal human beings, I like the song "Creep" by Radiohead. But it seems like every single cover of it I hear, I like better than the original.

wow, it was still blocked at 10:30 last night? I'm trying to figure out why the dude was near the Dells. Trying to get to Minnesota or something?

I like the one from the Facebook movie. The full version of it is really cool to listen to.

Seeing the weinermobile always brightens my day. I'm guessing CG and Woo get to see it pretty regularly.
I did once which was pretty funny to see. I might be able to see it more if I wasn't stuck in the blasted law school for 14 hours a day, not that I'm bitter or anything

When your employer employees thousands of engineers searching for someone with the last name of Patel is not the brightest move.

Not exactly sure.
Will be a bad day. Underwear I have apparently has an elastic band that stretched itself out. Nothing like having underwear falling down all day.

I fully expect you to spend the other 10 hours searching for the weinermobile.
