It's been over a month since my mom and I traveled up Highway 61 through Dubuque to Madison. It was a dark rainy autumn night in Wisconsin. We met up with a longtime friend of mine Soren. Mom went off to see our friends Margaret and Fritz in Middleton. Soren met us out by the beltline and from there we took the Equinox with his girlfriend Melissa to downtown Madison to see STS9 at the Orpheum Theatre. I've never seen State St. so busy on a Friday night. The parking garages were full and we were fortunate to finally find a spot. We missed the Tauk opening set which wasn't a big deal to me. It was a decent sized crowd but plenty of room on the back of the floor where we hung out.
I have listened to a lot of STS9 in the last year but I'm still largely unfamiliar with the song titles. With Alaina Rocklin on bass I've become a much bigger fan of their music. Pianoir was a highlight of the first set. During the setbreak I walked down State St. to a coffee shop. The opening trio of songs in set II was very impressive. It was good seeing some of the usual Geneseo livetronica fans. It was good to see Soren. We've been friends all our lives. He was born 10 days after me and they lived next door to us in Glen Ellyn. We ate a delicious breakfast with Margaret, Fritz, and Whitney in Middleton. When I was younger mom and I would go on road trips and I would always ride shotgun. It was fun to go on a little getaway to Madison with her. The rural Wisconsin and Iowa scenery with the changing foliage was pretty during the drive home.
