Hey its Big Game Day. And only futbal. And not the soccer kind. Or Sheepshead. Enuf said … Onward to the game preview.
Hey dad in rehab. My brother and his son are coming over for a game of Sheepshead during the Super […]

Spoiler alert, the shot special we’re highlighting is Tainted Love. The day is Saturday night for the Valentine’s Party at Wanderoos, with a three-fer of fish and ribs. This has a “Soft Cell” that’s a two-fer for a really cheap price, so she’ll love your frugal use of funds. And anyone “North of 64” — or not for that matter — will know the band on hand, and is welcome to join the party. And also that of, tacked on the end of this post, our shot at the best Super Bowl shots!
It’s D-Day for V-Day, but there is still time, even if the result is slightly Tainted Love. Hey, they say

Three questions that start with a geography lesson, since we are in the dead of winter and you may have more time. Where does the newer Paddy Ryan’s Pub and Boxty House hail from? (Hint: It’s in the heart of the pub district in River Falls). And at the north end of that proverbial rainbow, can you tell us, pray tell, in greater detail where the original Paddy Ryan’s lands in the town of Hudson? —– And while we’re at it, clear up that question that is as old as the Irish, just what is a Boxty?
At Paddy’s Pub and Boxty House, (now houses), owners Kirk and Jacki Mueller take pride in their well-researched menu —

Balloons travel mostly in silence, but it doesn’t have to be that way, Coming In The Air At Night. So Hold On. The nightlife mecca that is Hudson features a good dozen band choices for both loud and easy listening, dancing or DJ, singalong or solo, raucous rock and rolling or country strutting … Two entire eves then flowing into Sunday.
For Hot Air Affair weekend, there’s live entertainment everywhere across Hudson and other parts of The St. Croix Valley state-side

Be it bloody Mary pub crawls or AYCE fish fry club hauls, this 34th edition of the Hudson Hot Air Affair has some new things to put wind in your sails, through the various avenues of Eat, Shop and Play, only starting with the downtown. Balloons and irons up! At least one such burner, numerically, for each year of the fest’s existence.
They are one of the most eclectic and varied, and just plain big types of eats and drinks in combo,

You’d think following up the retiring Tom Bernard would be a Hard To Handle act to follow. Enter a drummer and more with a lot to say, Dave Gorman, who is back in the area as the Crowes fly, making his presence felt again, this time on the other side of the river, bringing even more IQ to the KQ morning show.
Now that its 20 or more years later, the ex-drummer of the Black Crowes has again hit the local scene,

Reeling through the years, we go. Three top entertainment types between now and the end of January bring the combined experience of many decades, and are celebrating anniversaries to show it. Leading the list is the band Boondoggle at the intro event to the Hudson Hot Air Affair.
Today we will dig into anniversaries, of all types, part of the local history of rock and roll. And wrestling

Not all movements involve music, classical or otherwise. You gotta Busta Move big-time and get rid of that awful snow, to even get to the concert. As there right now are more drifts than riffs. Here is how we’ve dealt with it thus far, with more than two months of winter left to play out.
Minus five then ten, temps falling. Or 20 or 30, wind chills. Or 40 or 50, wind gusts. And in

This Walker now-politico did not walk away a winner, as it finally has been decided, I think, and so now in 2023, it seems we are finally through with the politics as usual, as it played out all through 2022. So all we have of Hershel at the moment are ex-Viking running back reruns at the sports bar. For governor, we have Evers, but will another Walker (not Scott) walk this way?

Hey you, its 9:20 p.m. and the hoards are on their way to downtown Hudson, for New Year’s Eve and its next four hours into the a.m. There would be no 16 below temp this year, and although the final results have not yet been tabulated and cross-checked and rubber-stamped, it seems to have really re-hit its stride.
Before the clock struck ten, it was time for the revelry to begin. As the warmer weather had set it.
