If you are looking for folks to play with, I would say check out www.milwaukeerocks.com

There are a lot of bands looking for bass players, and not all of them are based in Milwaukee. Or, you could post a "Bassist available" ad. That's what I did when I moved up to Milwaukee not knowing anyone in the area. I got a lot of replies - you should be able to find someone that way.

I am from Wisconsin Rapids, and I go to school up at UW-superior

I know there is a guy from marshfield and another from Steven's point too

If you're in the Milwaukee area hit some of the local music stores and do some clubs. Introduce yourself and you'll meet some folks.

Bit + a gillion on Milwaukee rocks. It's a great resource for musicians.

You guys are making me homesick. I was born and raised in Milwaukee. My wife is from Waukesha and she went to school in Steven's Point. I've spent many drunken nights in Madison..haha...love that town. My old band used to rehearse in Fond Du Lac. But now, I live in Omaha...which is better than it sounds.

Come back and visit! I'll buy you a brew!

My ex-gfs sister went to Point as well as her husband, he then went on to Madison for his PhD.

Speaking of Point, I enjoy Point beer here and there, but it's hard to find this far south. We used to drive up there with our empties and return them for a nice discount on our next purchase. It was always better tasting from the brewery.

I too know the perils of being inebriated in Madison, it's probably the best place to find yourself in the most absurd scenarios while being drunk.

That being said, I'm only 24 and don't drink to often lol.

My Uplands are just west of Madison in Mt. Horeb. I'm an Illinois transplant too. It isn't easy to connect unless you hit the clubs which I rarely do anymore. I hope to make the next WI GTG and meet some of you.

[SuperDuck]

I need to get over to Mt. Horeb. The mustard museum is calling my name! (I need a Poupon U hoodie or shirt.) I love making mustard and need to get some of their recipe books as well. I could order them online, but what's the fun in that?

[TimBosby]

Ahhhhhhhh Point Beer!!! We have it in Omaha, which is kind of funny. They have Amber on tap at the local trendy indie rock club here.

I come back quite often... our parents are in Milwaukee and Oconomowoc.

Are there TB get-togethers in Wisconsin??! I think I already personally know every TBer in Omaha.

Duck, we've got a respectable brew pub that is crawling distance from the Mustard Museum. Throw in some trolls and you've got a triple threat. Let me know if you come and I'll open up the Man Cave for some bassmania.

That sounds like the recipe for awesome. I'll definitely drop you a line when we head out that way!
