You care to talk about New Years Rockin’ Eve as far as a tradition? Rapidly reached that marker is Gary LaRue at the Bungalow Inn in Lakeland, with a crooning style that smacks of singers like Sinatra but is still all its own. Combine that with drink specials that are also all their own, and vintage wines, and you have the makings of an Eve that rocks without being out on the coast.
With the Wild Badger in New Richmond, there is music that gives you double or triple the sound, when it comes to names. The party is with Michael Paul and DJ Stacy goes on to 4 p.m., and there are also the party favors and other such offerings at midnight, like lots of other venues but more prominent. And on addition is a reserve ride home by calling (715) 293-2755, so you don’t necessarily need to watch your Ps and Qs so much once 3:30 rolls around.
Kozy Korner in North Hudson never has a closing time, so the party rolls on into the next day. And you want breakfast? Its available all that time, starting at 2 a.m., meaning that you can gets your eggs over easy and much more while rocking hard in such a way for the equivalent of the time of a football doubleheader.
Get to Fiesta Cancun early, as they are not so much the late nighters as some, but it will be worth it for their unique Mex styled drink specials.
For another kind of ethnic themed party check out the Spanish, Cuban and Latin influence at Pedro del Este. And its hard to miss the big urban ambiance provided when serving their small plate specials, which was mainly responsible for introducing that concept to the Hudson area and will not make you so stuffed that you can’t party all night.
For a total adult fare experience, hit the Cajun Club in Houlton to top off your eve and there just might be a lady named Eve ready to go her thing with you in one of their newly remodeled VIP rooms.
And for something also different, hit the roaring ’20s party at the Corner Saloon in River Falls with music by Abel starting at 10 p.m. Formal attire is encouraged and be careful not to spill on your lapel, as there are shot and drink specials all night.
Many might rue this act’s crooning routine if missing getting merry in Minnesota at The Bungalow for NYE with Gary LaRue; and at the other end, party when you’re able in RF

- ‘Urban Table’ reopens after five months, minus the olive and vine name, but keeping the same old ambiance. It adds a coffee and wine bar, $3 premium drinks prepared under the eye of a barista and the advanced eatery knowledge that comes from the new owner, Ben Jung, a face you’ll recognize from nearby Hudco To Go, who says music is on the way, too, back to this staple Hudson venue.
They’ve added a coffee bar, so you can have a foray of seating for four on stools in front of it, a wine bar and a petite table for two directly in front of the southwest window, and plenty of inexpensive drinks, but other than that The Urban Table as it is known is much like the former Urban Olive and Vine before it. The man who is the brains behind Hudco To Go has brought those $3 premium drinks and more to the restaurant that is kitty-corner to the, again, southwest when you take Locust Street and venture onto...
- What will Bruce, the top dogg, and Maiden mew about concerning the world when they make a stop in Shakopee? Plenty of tramau to pick from, even if they do not get irate about Iran, or emulate. But closer to home, others of my ilk have been to Italy and more lately, or just out in the garden tending to flowers and kitties.
So many problems in our world, US and UK. How and when to bitch? Waiting for them to be named by a sizeable band, if they shed light on politics and ethical behavior in general, can make you numb. Has anyone else noticed, as we get older and grayer, the similarity in facial look between two who are on vocals, first a rapper and second a metal singer, knotted-side-hair Snoop Dogg and long and straight-to-collar Bruce Dickinson, one who spews island drinks as opposed to the other homemade beer, as Iron Maiden continues on in their latest with a gigantic gaggle of groups with requisite...
- Deaths and memorials. They do not stop with that given by Miley Cyrus for Dolly Parton. In what follows, I recount the recent musical remembrances of a local musician, as his father lay passing, and that by me in song for my own dad. And the resemblances therein. And a dream reflecting it all. (And newly added, we’ll Curry favor and Frank, and more on Dolly and the God she is close to.)
Just over two years ago, I sang solo an Iron Maiden song, Blood Brothers, slowly strummed via my cell phone to provide the instrumental, as the exact moment my dad was laid to his final rest under clay. A few weeks ago, one-man-band professional Jeff Loven, one of the best musicians I have ever heard and one with whom I have sung for 25 years, strummed the favorite Johnny Cash songs his father loved in the background for the last hour his dad had on this earth, the troubles of which Cash so frequently sang. Certainly, one of them was Hurt,...

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?)
