Madison

Does anybody know of any riding stables near Madison (within an hour or so), that do trail riding or rent horses? Do places like this still exist? Any recommendations much appreciated!

Hey there! I'm looking for recommendations for vendors for most aspects of a wedding (venue and food are covered)--the last post in the memories was maybe a year ago, so hopefully it's OK to ask again. We're trying to do this on a shoestring budget as much as possible.

• Cake
• Flowers
• Dress
• Photographer/videographer
• DJ
• Makeup and hair person
• Officiant (non-religious)
• Wedding bands 
• Invitations
• Planning/tracking websites

I'm sure I'm forgetting some necessary stuff. I would really welcome any recommendations from the hivemind--I kind of hate this wedding planning stuff and it would be great to have the field of possibilities narrowed a little. Thanks!

Has anyone used Pure TalkUSA (http://www.puretalkusa.com/) as a cell service provider? I like their published rates, but am a bit leery about signing up with a service I've not heard about before. A word or two from someone that's got experience would really be appreciated!

Where would one go to purchase a single copy of SATB sheet music (Specifically "One Day More" from Les Mis)? Madison and immediate area only please (i.e. I have no interest in a store in MWK, unless they could ship down to me).....

Alternately, if you have a copy, I'd be happy to buy it from you!

Thanks!

Need a memorial tattoo done and am considering Blue Lotus (Odana location), and Danielle specifically.

Anyone have anything good, bad, indifferent to say about Danielle and/or Blue Lotus?

Thanks!

Hey, anyone have any baby gates you either want to sell, or maybe even loan out for a few weeks if you don't want to part with them permanently? My girlfriend and I are merging households and need to break up our apartment into separate cat corrals for a while.

On a very similar note... anyone know any good places to find listings of community rummage sales?

Due to allergy issues, we're having to move, and need a new space to live. Must have at least 3 bedrooms, allow cats and dogs, be accessible by bus line, and be in the East High School attendance area. Houses are preferred over apartments, and a yard for critters and/or gardening is also a plus.

but yes, we need a home. Preferably one without mold issues, and up to code. Must have 3 bedrooms and take cats, dogs and eccentrics. :-)

All right interweebs - GO!

Would prefer East side, Northeast side, or Williamson/Atwood area, if possible.

My girls' night out group wants to do karaoke next Saturday night, and I've been given the task of finding a venue.

I've heard Ohio Tavern is a fun spot. Any other suggestions?

---

ETA: Thanks for all the suggestions. I looked up Yelp reviews and ran them by the girls, and they decided on the Ohio Tavern. It was really fun, actually. It's a neighborhood dive bar and makes no apologies for it; it's tiny but the crowd was great, friendly and prone to good-natured heckling of newcomers. (There's also some seriously good singers among them.) The karaoke host is adorable - we loved her. The major downside is that it wraps up relatively early, at 11; considering we didn't get there till nearly 10 we didn't get much time in. We'd like to go back, but earlier next time.
