Hello Milwaukee!

While my weekly blog post isn't kicking off until next Friday, April 30, I'm just too excited to wait! In my hunt for all things free (and almost free) in Milwaukee, I have already gathered almost 200 things to do and I have at least one free thing for each day in the months of May and June. Every Friday I will do a listing of events ranging from that day through the following Friday, as well as highlights beyond that so you can plan ahead. I will also let you know which events I am planning on attending myself so you can hunt me out (or avoid me, as the case may be...hehe). In addition to my weekly post, I plan on visiting the many venues that are always $5 or under and will do periodic posts reviewing them.
Happy Happenings!
