PTQ this weekend, Parking alert!

Helllloooo Magic Players, and welcome to Madison, WI, the epicenter of Left Vs Right in American Politics right now. Perhaps you’ve heard about us on the news, but we’re hosting a bunch of protesters downtown Madison over the last few weeks. Our event venue for this PTQ is located downtown, a matter of a couple hundred yards from the Capital Square where all of these protests have been happening. there is a LARGE Protest planned for this weekend starting at noon. We advise you strongly that once you arrive on site that you leave your car in your parking lot and don’t move it till you leave for the day. If you move it, chances are, it wont be there as people swarm into the area late morning. It would be a good idea to plan on being at the event a LITTLE earlier than you normally would.


Again, we don’t expect this to impact parking right away in the morning, but it will very quickly start adding bodies and you may required to park far away and walk. Come early, stay late, enjoy hanging out playing magic in the middle of one of the largest political protests of our lifetimes 😀 You may also want to make sure you bring some portable snacks as with the large number of people downtown, restaurants/eateries are likely to be very busy.
