Cinco De Mayo is suddenly soon, for very little green at the mill, so don’t go off like the Grimm Reaper

The entertainment options this week are neither sleepy or Grimm, and for more choices, see players who are known by one name, at least in ads:
— Since they are now off siesta, let the folks at Green Mill explain it: “Happy Cinco de Mayo! It’s “fiesta” time at participating Green Mill restaurants on May 5, 2018 (like every year). Enjoy great specials like our incredible classic margarita for only $4. Our Taco Pizza, and drink specials ($3) are available all day, (even early afternoon, once reserved for napping). We look forward to celebrating with you!” At B-Dubs there is a remarkably similar drink schedule, involving select domestic beers and sharables, and also Modelo beer. How is this similar, you say? They all are priced in much the same way as their foes across the highway, at between $3 and $4.
— The future does not look Grimm, as far at Hudson-based musician Reed Grimm is concerned. He now is out with a new CD, after stints as a prominent singer on the likes of American Idol. He was featured on Twin Cities, morning show television in what was part interview, part performance and that single-song display was strong on guitar that was both bluesy, jangly and dreamy, all at the same time, and drew comparisons to Michael Jackson and Steely Dan. But to see his act in the near future, you might have to make it a road trip, as except for a Twin Cities gig, (check their web site), the nearest western Wisconsin concert is later this month in La Crosse.
— You are no doubt familiar with musicians and the like who go by one name. Such are the featured acts at Maverick’s Corner Saloon on Thursdays, starting early at 8 p.m. Prominent among them this month are “Austin” and “Rob.” To see more of what they have to offer, check in about the time the sun starts going down.

A hodgepodge listing of everything that’s truly different but maybe baked porage follows, and we’re not talking about a connect-the-dots or puzzle-pieces contest or one on Trump’s foreign policy, haha, rather what I saw and what will be seen around town in recent times. Mostly, one of each. Think you have the world’s, or more likely local church’s, best grilled cheese sandwich, (coming from the land of, specifically, well curded and curdled milk and honey?) Fry it to the test on Saturday. No this is not an autumn chili cookoff, or char the best burger, or even a poker run...

  • Give props to the several bands for climbing partway up deer-stand-style lofts, then taking to all but the lute. (We saw virtually every other style of smaller instrument at a Music in the Trees fundraiser for a nature preserve.) Yes, they dropped a couple of drumsticks to the forest floor, but perservered as a fan fave. Then a band from The Andes stole the show.
Music in the trees? It conjures up images of a poet wearing millenniums-ago robe and sandals while playing a lute and propped onto the fourth fork of a bigger-than-usual apple tree and doing a balancing act on his ass while he sings a soliloquy or a soffit. Maybe taking a bite in-between verses, to match what listeners chomped on if they hauled it in down long nature paths, making for dinner and a show with duos and trios, and one huge and elaborate band. Well didn’t quite get that lute-ist. Or a bassist so high on life and so-forth stoned...

  • The start of one song, was simply “Question?” So we’ll lead off this story — Guess Who? — with who will lead the blue as it attempts to fade in with the red in the county in this election cycle? Can we get to The Color Purple? Mock the Maroon? (A scam Alert!!! My post is massively updated after my short trip between Badger and Gopher states. So read on.)
Questions everywhere? These days, how do you dismiss an ad or a politician, or whoever or whatever pops up and occupies your computer screen, or mailbox, electronic or otherwise? And did that answer in the form of a package or letter or even air waves — coming from a pol or a pool? — ever actually arrive, like all those ads and flyers? Maybe it never will? And surely not written with a quill. As one friend just reminded me, it all starts with one problem leading into another set of problems. Or, like a volcano boiling and brewing and...

  • The hearsay vote will be read by some as pure heresy, as Hermening spies the ‘country club crowd’ for how he can putt to quasi-greatness and quash Trump. Then in today’s election there’s a pro-life, run-of-the-mill muckadymuck, a Hong pro-education predictable, and a sharper than the average sheep Shannon (yes it’s a he.) THat’s what flyers tell us about the Day’s Of Our Lives. Today.
Hey today they threw it all back to you, as it is election day, and with it the last Badger gasp — if least if they’re our candidates — (is that the throaty noise they make?), with a soar-throated, campaign-trail rasp made by an audio-version plethora of last-minute flyers that fill our boxes with hopes to grasp, so we can check their boxes when we go to the polls and pick a (partial) winner to move on to full November midterms. Less then the Trump-triumphed manhandling our mailboxes got however, in the last election of this type. Those worn, creaking...
