Last Thursday was a slightly dismal day. It was almost raining, but not quite. Out on Lake Mendota, the air was cold and quiet, until you reached the eastern shore bluffs, where the governor's mansion sits. There, the only quiet came when a protestor would wait for a response to his chant, "Two, four, six, eight!"

Although Madison's weather can't decide if it's winter or spring, sporadically fluctuating from snow to sunshine, it is eventually going to take a turn for the better. In light of this fact, we must be wardrobe-ready. On these random sunny days, collegians all over town are rejoicing and shedding their layers to show off their spring styles. It seems like years since we've been able to walk down State Street without a jacket covering any attempts we have made at being trendy. This spring's fashion is all about mixing masculine with feminine. Dainty meets tough, which is perfect for festivals, bike rides and barbecues. It's time to show skin in unexpected yet sexy and sweet ways. For the boys: a casual beachy look gets a touch of sophistication by mixing in timeless, preppy pieces.

She told me DNR employees don't make much as it is and they are subject to added burdens from the budget repair bill.

Sleeping In The Aviary have always had a hard time sitting still. After forming right here in Madison, some seven years ago, the then-foursome released two albums of hyper-active jangly punk songs on Science of Sound records before riding over to Minnesota's Twin Cities and picking up a fifth member. On their first dispatch from the Land o' Lakes, Great Vacation, Sleeping In The Aviary ditch their most screeching punk styles for a more flush album that reins back their wild catharsis with dapper production and tidy pop numbers.
