Each Thursday at 7:30 p.m. a random group of guys get together to talk politics, religion, the weather or whatever is on a bear's mind. We meet at Michelangelo's Coffee Shop, 114 State Street. Seating can be limited so it is first come, first served but we rarely if ever are left standing. Just come on down and look for the big group of burly men.

Anyone wishing to have dinner downtown before the Thursday night coffee should meet in front of Michelangelos' between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m.

Want to join a jovial bunch of bears for a shop and drop at the Dane County Farmers' Market? If so, we would love to have you. Just meet us most Saturday mornings (April - Nov) at Michelangelo's Coffee Shop, 114 State Street. We gather between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. We do a turn around the square or two, buying all the luscious organic vegetables and cheeses. Oh, don't forget the bread and pastries. Then we typically go for breakfast some where within walking distance. It is always lots of fun. Nothing structured, nothing special. Each week the group is random and there is nothing official about it. Just good fun, great food and lots of furries enjoying the BEST of Madison!
