I know this may sound strange, but I was actually really looking forward to going to Milwaukee; Wisconsin: Woo hoo! But seriously, I have been to more countries (about 35 or so) than states and I was glad to be able to visit another location on our great map.

Coming from Green Portland, it was weird flying into the Milwaukee airport where everything was brown and gloomy. Looking down from the plane I could not see one green thing below. I kept asking myself, isn’t this spring, where’s the green? I guess spending most of my life in the SF Bay Area where it is eternally spring, and then spending the last 3 years in Portland, where everyday seems like St. Patrick’s Day! - I was in a slight shock seeing so much brown…

Nevetheless, the weather was great and Milwaukee seemed like a very interesting and somewhat happening place. Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of time for festivities or touring about as my screening of the film was in just a few hours….

The screening started at 7pm at the Union Fireside Lounge - a medium sized room with really cool, oversized lounge chairs and love seats for the audience. It was a real intimate affair.  We had a decent sized and enthusiastic crowd - which is always great to have! And most stayed around after the screening as we had a 45 minute Q & A.

All in all it was a great time in Milwaukee!
Thanks to Becca Grassi and Evan Koon for making this happen.
