The 47th Annual Madfest

When
Jan. 13-15, 1995

Times:

Where
University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI

Having failed once again to secure the Wrigley Field, the day's activities will take place in the scenic Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St. on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Use of a map is highly recommended, search parties are not available.

Cost
Free (except lunch and the Public Show).

Details

General
Due to inflation and budgetary constraints, admission this year will be twice as much as last year, i.e. nada, nil, zilch, everything's FREE! except lunch. Oh, and the Public Show has a measly fee to make the performers feel important. For those wishing to juggle knives, chainsaws, flaming kittens, or anything that might set Great Hall afire, space will be provided on Lake Mendota (notice we did not say *near* Lake Mendota). Inside there will be juggling, workshops, catching, demos, dropping, competitions, pickups, vendors, excuses, parties, apologies, a raffle, a public show, and relief from wind chill low enough to shrivel silicone. Whatta Bargain!!

Therbligs
Therbligs are expected to be minimal, but protection is recommended. A thin coating of vaseline or a sprig of licorice (natural, not artificial) placed in the left breast pocket is usually effective. In case of emergency, tweezers will be available at the front preview desk.
