i realize how special the farmer's market is. i know that not every town has one, and that this one in particular is among the best in the country.
that being said, i rarely go because i am not an early riser and i hate the crowd. i really truly believe that this is one of the rudest crowds i've ever encountered, and i lived in chicago for 8 years. if madison as a whole would learn some effing manners (i.e. saying excuse me, giving strangers their personal space) i would go much more often. and probably even be excited about it.
