Halloween

We went to a Halloween party in Brewer's Hill last night. Got our costumes at 60% off at a local shop. Free food at the party, of course. We took wine. Today, Halloween, we're going to see a murder mystery play this afternoon. We got 1 set of season tickets-just have to get one extra. Staying away from handing out that expensive candy this afternoon. :) Dinner at Ned's tonight-great food at the right price-free!! :)

Gallery Night in the 3rd Ward

Thursday night we went to the MKE film volunteer appreciation party-free food and drinks at Moct bar. A warm night so the windows were open. Friday night was gallery night and we wandered through the streets of the 3rd ward having free appetizers and wine at various stops. Ended the night at Transfer pizzeria using one of our groupons. Tomorrow we're seeing Cabaret at the MKE repertory-free tickets we scored.

Milwaukee Film Opening Night

Using my volunteer voucher I attended the premiere of Milwaukee Film. I stayed at the opening night party until 1 am. It was at Discovery World-a beautiful night to be out on the top of the pilot house with a 360 degree view of downtown Milwaukee. Free appetizers, music and drinks made for a great warm Autumn evening.

AIDS Walk Wisconsin

I walked the 5K route today-dreary, rainy on and off, but not drenching. I started the day off with free doughnuts, and coffee at Woody's. Then free nutrigrain bars, and iced coffee and vitamin water-which tasted like old Luden's cough drops! Sure glad I didn't pay for that! Off to a friend's house for pizza and wine tonight. Then back to teaching. Next week starts the Milwaukee Film Festival. Not sure how I'm going to get in free-I need to volunteer a bunch! :)

Fests coninued

Friday we went to Irish Fest-free from 4 until 5:30pm. Unfortunately a typhoon blew in and we got drenched. :( Then spent too much on dinner. Saturday we had free tickets to the MKE Masterpiece car show-of course we had to spend $20 on wine. :)  Sunday I had free tickets to MKE Chamber Theatre's "Jeeves Intervenes". Then had our friend over for dinner-he brought lamburgers, yum. :)

MKE Festivals

Milwaukee has tons of festivals all Summer. Some are free, some aren't, but you can usually get in for low cost if you follow the promotions. Yesterday we went to Wisconsin State Fair with half-priced tickets. Tonight we're going to a free jazz festival in the Third Ward. I've got a bunch of coupons for free drinks I plan on making good use of. ;)

What I'll do for free stuff!

Last Thursday we had torrential flooding. Streets were blocked off. A sinkhole ate a Cadillac Escalade. But... I had free movie tickets to the Downer. Do you think I stayed home? Of course not! We zigzagged through flooded streets to see a free movie. I was drenched, but of course it was worth it!
