THE CURRENT HEADLINER

This prophet said to the fan next to me, after a Final Game One out, Brewers in Four!?! Prior to that, businesses were putting up ladders around Hudson, to paint the town, to spruce up for the big game(s), home and away. Just like the Brew Crew’s win over Tampa Bay, first three games at least, was a stepping stone. (Bear with me, not Chicago, to the end of this also music and other mayhem post for some sports bar observations. Revamped since the start of the postseason. Since revamped again, with Brewers threatening early in Game Four.)

The polka fans are revving it up. Convenience and grocery stores, not to mention sports bars, that are sponsors of […]

The Opening Act

Whether good witch of the north or east, or wicked witch of the south or west, there are treats galore as you walk the varied directions of Hudson’s streets, stopping at stores galore in this the former small business crawl. It leads off a pre-Halloween weekend with a lot to do, and see the Brew CRew too.

The pre-Halloween haunts are now hanging out their hat, and their head if they still have one, to harangue you, with a […]

I’ll say it, and play it, again. And again. Pick one for how fast you can pick. With fingers or using a pick. How many notes per second on a guitar? This is real world, not guitar hero. So I asked a veteran blues man, sitting next to me at the music club. And that’s just for starters. —– PLay it again Sam; though a chore for the door and out on the floor, Halloween decor and more is now roaring in.

How fast can you swing the axe? Ask the axe-man not on stage but sitting next to you. Bar math […]

I hope these jokes fly well, by the zillions like the Brazilian goal keeper, and a stand-up comedian at night, I met downtown, who gave me her birdie! To keep. not a bogey. THat’s Seriously folks, not over par. But on par. I deed, I deed. Wait, that was Bugs Bunny, I think. But the birdies, and their owners and much more football and its related names, were plentiful during the Loony Tunes full and harvest moon, as just experienced in Hudson, as they were jumping from the rooftops after climbing up!

But seriously, folks … There is a moral to the story, if you read to the very end. Last weekend, […]

Picks of the Week

We rue the day the Irish menus were squelched, but some forge on despite closures of such restaurants and pubs, thus McCabe’s in NR still remains unique among affordable themed venues of this type in the eastern suburbs. (Note, some content is dated.)

The restaurants in the Twin Cities have largely opened up again, but the pub end from the isle as far […]

When it comes to uncanny resemblance onstage that’s anything but canned, this weekend is what you want, and you also might wish to note the word play in their names, but not quite the same as in this post and my reference to Coldplay. They have done private events, but as is often said if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford them. Better to go to what follows and miss the cover. So Carry On and not Underwood (sorry).

The more things change the more they are the same, such as when band members and their names sound like […]

Thirty days hath October, plus one, and other months, so you can still dig into getting treats ready for the whole shebang before there is the deadline of being past trick-or-treating, BOC style. Never too soon for All Hallows.

The host of a radio music program said the song Don’t Fear The Reaper will be played to death, sorry, […]
