Hudson Wisconsin Nightlife

Cup size, with photos and signatures, proves to be important, as is remembering those who serve our country.
Patrons at Buffalo Wild Wings are invited to take a photo with a nearly lifesize — that is in human not trophy terms — cardboard replica of the Stanley Cup and get it on social media to qualify for a trip and tickets to the 2016 Finals. It seems that good things come to those who wait. It should be noted that on the B-Dubs cutout advertisement it’s noted The Cup is a trademark, (more on that in a minute). Patrons are advised to watch as many of the hockey games as possible at BWW to aid their chances of being a winner; not to mention that their own cup just might runneth over. There are more details on the four-step photo application process at the local branch.
This all brings to mind Al, the North Hudson resident who before there were the LA Kings used to be the King of sports-themed viewing parties. They were at his house that had a big addition and basement and “going yard” sports bars built for those purposes, not to mention fitting, homemade food. But Al was more than a homebody, he somehow managed to obtain a metal, not cardboard, copy of the Stanley Cup that was the size of the BWW current version. He took it on the road to hockey cities — and to all the Hudson area bars — to get so many signatures/messages from fans that it was almost as black and blue in color as silver. It remains to be seen if such a cup will show at the 2016 version of the Finals.
— A memorial poker run in honor of Nicholas Spehar and the total of 17 Navy Seals and 14 U.S. servicemen who gave their lives on Aug. 6, 2011, while serving over in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom is Sunday.
The motorcyle rally is set for May 24 and starts and finishes at Chisago Roadhouse Tavern with stops at Wolf Creek Bar, Py’s Bar, Somerset American Legion and Big Game. Registration is from 10-11:15 a.m., with riders taking off at 11:30-11:45 a.m.
Cost is $15 per bike, $10 per passenger. There will be prizes for top poker hands and door prize drawings, and cash boards and spaghetti dinner with donation at the end of the run. Cash donations and items for silent auction will be appreciatively accepted.
Another local connection is that one of the main organizers, Shalice who bartends at Guv’s Place in Houlton, has been working very hard — as is her style — to get things together for the run. She and others note the importance of looking after needs of veterans. For more information or to donate, contact her at (651) 210-3989, or Bob at (651) 329-5527.
A memorial fund for Spehar has been set up at US Bank in Chisago City, Minn.

Urban Table has solo and duet acts already in the books, and the tunes put in its vault, as they’ll soon be brought back for more music events. and positioned practically tableside tonight in their designated intimate enclave, has been enlisted an acoustic ensemble, turning it into an ample stage, and then another band next Saturday, just for starters. Bluesy, yes, and even jazzier. And always eclectic.

This about all that soft jazz, and a whole lotta related offerings, taking a renewed seat at the table, like a not-seen-for-a-while relative at Thanksgiving dinner, as they have plenty of quick eats or full meal to go with the music too, at a venue that adds another element to the local song scene. It’s an intimate setting, where you can be not much more than an arm’s length or two from one of the players as the regele you with their sung stories — and still stay out of reach and vocal range of that odd uncle, but close...

Clarity. Craft. Better together. Like a guitar harmony. Or Clarity & Craft Co., for penning business proposals that turn old notes and rough drafts into persuasive plans for your client’s action. Like a concerto. Choir to double down, on composing ditties.

Business writing, and even life, is like penning a song. It moves through the various seasons, like The Rain Song. (Snow coming soon.) But the very season at which we choose to begin is telling. And it may vary. For each client’s, or band’s needs. Or the second side of an album. They say keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and your bandmates closest, because they are the ones you hole up with for long periods and churn out the creative process. One of those for me, is the pen during the day, and voice at times at night when...

Nicolas Cage has been around locally for weeks filming one of his latest projects. Could ‘Parish’ be considered a cage match between he and St. Michael the Archangel, a local parish, with sword slitting sinner’s neck, considering his bent for projects of a spiritual and apocalyptic nature?? But farmhouse famously. Read on, or see it in a theater soon …

When I first heard that star actor Nicolas Cage was in town for an extended stay to film one of his new movies, it didn’t take too much of a deep dive to discover that the film and its protagonist takes the name of Parish, which made me think it had something to do with things post-apocalyptic and churches, like some of his past flicks. (Spoiler alert: It actually is not a parish in the sense of the name of a church, but has that end of the world and eternity vibe, as it’s about a man who decides to hole up in his adapted...

Headliner, Killer Metal Lyrics

MAGA goes South, and everyone from South Park to various ends of St. Croix County ‘can plainly see’ it. Yes, Republicanism may have won the day in the county, but in the final tally in the state, and country, it was curtains for them keeping a majority, being tied too closely to Trump. aberations in that county voting were Knoke vs. Zimmerman, and the early tallies in Town of Hudson absentee voting.

Mr. Hat, meet Mr. Reality, meet Mr. Mandate. Via Mr. Crowley. If you don’t get that post-election humor, then there’s no hope … When it concerns the latter, check out the Ozzy song and it’s message, “won’t you ride my white horse” and “did you think you were pure,” see if you then get the gag, as a U.S. dictator’s realm falls in a landslide rarely seen. “Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic.” As the last midterm election tallies are being, well, tallied, South Park (and later SNL too) roared on with its satire on Wednesday night, getting going at it...

Sick of getting flyers in the mail, as many as five a day, and leaving no room in the box for the postman? Even if they happen to target a political interest of yours? I went through more than 100, so offer this synopsis, which got very detailed, as your primer for when you go to the polls today. (See results here in coming days.)

The divide in politics these days is not still as much left vs. right, with granted little center, it’s become the informed vs. the uniformed or downright ignorant, and by the flyers politicians put out, you can see they are catering to this predilection. So I propose a solution, though radical, as long as these days we’re throwing that word around all over the place even when it’s not merited, and it’s mentioned literally hundreds of times in Republican flyers across the state: If you are not going to educate yourself, don’t vote. If you think about it, this is very Darwin-ish. Another...

Few inflatables? Just Chip away at the beyond-rigatoni-like-structured (Penne please?) them plastic bones? Halloween has come crashing to a sugary candied conclusion. But not before the alley cats were spooked, if they were not caught with their costumed tails between their legs, (no prizes), or by a pirate that’s DEPP-osed, (maybe.) Or, did Zappa do it? Double, double P. —– But hence, tomorrow is Election Day, and I will provide detailed coverage and how-to-fight-through-the-chaff analysis that will include the local polling numbers. You will see that much sooner here than in the local paper, as they do not staff elections firsthand.

Hark Halloween has been buried, as the big inflatables are now being sacked and stored — they were slowly being replaced anyway by some bigger creatures of all, very tall types and rounds lengths of plastic, currently used as the centerpieces, not the ones that often end up laying flat on the ground, strung out. As far as the bigger than gourds, such pumpkins were seen around town at the bars and antique shops, such as three of carefully chosen shades set in a triangle, of all different colors were the shapes painted on — they being squares and circles of...
