Turns out that tonight there is some kind of sporting contest between our state’s football team and a team assembled and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. You probably already know this and are busy making the necessary preparations: ironing your green-and-gold pants, texting “GO PACK GO!” to all your friends, and arranging for tomorrow morning’s hangover.

If you have the desire this afternoon to read something non-football-related, here is a round-up of some local blog activity so you can have something to talk about with your friends during the many television commercial breaks that you will experience tonight.

- Best Place at Pabst Brewery will start to feature music. They should bring Milwaukee Metal Fest back here! [OnMilwaukee]

- Obama’s rally in Madison on Tuesday is turning into a concert with The National and Ben Harper. That sound you just heard was several thousand college kids squealing at once. [Express Milwaukee]

- Folks up north did some fast acting to abate rising flood waters. We wonder if the Milwaukee flood taught state officials that intervention can’t be delayed. [Uppity Wisconsin]

- The Brewers are done at Miller Park for 2010. It was a disappointing season, for sure, but it ended with some class. [The Brewers Bar]

Oh, and if you want to talk football and sound smarter than everyone else, read The Dope Sheet. That is all.

Mucho Milwaukee’s life-imposed hiatus is complete. We made no improvements to our site. The user experience is identical to what it was 30 days ago. We basically just spent a month making sure no spam showed up in the comments. Hey, Gentle Reader, you get what you pay for!

Thanks for stopping by and look out for us to get back into the swing of Milwaukee blogging!
