Where to see the Big Game? And if Aaron Rodgers appears beyond the sidelines? We have it covered, venue by venue, so you can be covered

As the drama in pro football unfolds, and the shift of power in the conference North Division unfolds, we have a primer on where to see the Big Game on Sunday.
Of course a lot of that drama goes from whether Aaron Rodgers will start and/or play, and you can see it for yourself at the following venues.
But first things first, we have an Aaron Rodgers siting locally, even though we’re far from Lambeau Field, the host of the applicable Viking/Packer matchup and whether he will show on the field, or just the sidelines, or just in a State Farm commercial. (OK, here in Hudson its just his occasionally seen look-alike, who was seen at Dick’s Bar and Grill last weekend taking in the revelry after NFL Season One was mostly done).
With that said, here’s where to watch the Purple go against the Green at noon on Sunday.
— We’ve got to start with the Village Inn in North Hudson, where there are 20-plus screens to show singularly, this one game. It is sure to be full, even though this is not a blackout game, but owner Leigh lays it thusly on the line: “We are a Packer Bar, not a sports bar.” And there are rumors of jello shots, were guessing green, to be offered.
Across the street at Kozy Korner, which is heavier on the Badgers not the pros, they say they will offer a free drink to everyone who shows up by kickoff. And for purposes of that special, they consider every team your home team, (within reason), regardless of your personal preference.
Shifting to the downtown, there are bars that are very Viking friendly, the closer you move to Exit One or Exit Two coming into Hudson, to go to The Hill or to Hudson proper. Think Buffalo Wild Wings, Pudge’s and the aforementioned Dicks.
On the north end of the downtown, at the Smilin’ Moose they really do Sunday Funday with the Pack being Back. The specials are valid during “all Wisconsin home games,” $3 shots when the Packers score, quarterfly drawings, and HDTVs on which to view the game from every angle, including on the patio.
Last to note, Green Mill on The Hill now offers expanded delivery of its noted pizza and flatbread, in case your football party is at your house. They spell out in detail online about where the cutoff is, and — make note of this college students — the range of delivery now includes River Falls. But the time is ticking to get that delivery, as it closes at 2 p.m. So when it starts getting closer to the third quarter …

  • Drop by drop, taking a big step. One Drop Refillery lets you refill, over and over, a plethora of non-toxic household liquid and dry good products in a single stop, and not always buy new and often plastic containers that fill up landfills, or even oceans. A passion for nature, you can drop in or order other ways. Two Hudson locations (see end of post for addresses.)
When walking down Second Street in Hudson, you may have seen a sign in a doorway saying One Drop Refillery, and like me thought it was a distillery, like a new place to have a drink. That would not fill the bill. Rather, this new shop that’s like a small mill, as in a dispensary, but quickly grew into featuring much more though related goods, reduces one of your steps and will be a first step toward saving the environment. It’s tucked inside the north half of a long existing photography studio by Lisa Buth and being what the former name says, it’s...

  • 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 Witch’s Night Out — warlocks are apparently out of luck, although they can walk the street beside you, though she just might pass you by — on Thursday, Oct. 22, when things and heads really start rolling. (I was caught in a burning ring of fire, the circling flames lift my smoldered hat higher. Then rims settled for grab globs by Godiva, so she came a horseback witch attired.) So this is a night not only of bad lyricism and sometimes...

  • ALL hALLOWS alert: For more on what to do in this last full weekend before Halloween, starting with THURSDAY, and One Drop at the Refillery, see the lead post shown in the latest dispatches heaDING below. —– Strolling the streets of not Soho in the sunshine, bothering beauties at streetlights, a-chipping heads off rattlesnakes and lighting up eels orbs in the direction of their land holes … All in a hot day’s, cool night’s work — could be Kid Rock — with mild-sauce, hot-pink-dress dreaming, and circling toward Mars and an art night with that drumming Replacement.
To all you true blue followers, hope you enjoy the following run-on expanse as humorous and very warped and a little redneck. It is all true, except for the dream part, which was dreamt. Welcome to Halloween early! Drank a couple of energy drinks, no Monster, and pulled an all-nighter typing somewhat late-dropped-into-my-lap advertorials and carried on my sleeplessness into the next morning and afternoon, all the while walking around the downtown and delivering draft copies and even picked up another assignment, one that could go boo in the night, say what is so. Was at the light by Agave and for some...

  • Buddy, can you please spare me a can opener? Since mine doesn’t work. Again. So you can ‘spin’ it this way: The truisms of life today, in the USA, so many of them, can come down to the fact that a can opener tells all, coming full circle. That does, and the fact that its Octoberfest time, but so many seasons have still not arrived, even though it’s very near mid-terms, for both pupils and politicians at the polls.
It’s roughly mid-October in a roughly MAGA America and how is your rough life going? (Seems like early November, but only politically, not as far as the mal-adjusted seasons.) Well I’ll tell you about mine, thank you. And roughly. Halloween haunts — got to find some extra dough for candy and costumes for the kids and myself, more and more obligatory for adults, but all I have is some spare change, can you please bum me a dime? — are already becoming reality in our everyday lives. Note use of the word “everyday.” Master of Reality? Black Sabbath nailed it...

  • 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 can be fun, as I’ve said many a time, but especially when it’s coming from a decades-long blues man. Imagine going to a bar to have a drink, or two, and then end up talking to a musician about how many more (notes) than that he can play a second! Try five or maybe six. Off to Hudson Tap, and tapping into the knowledge of a guy older than I who is a veteran blues man, mostly — and I...

  • Oops, I did it again! I yes slipped up, as did Facebook, on teasing my last couple of posts. So read well past the two headline(s), down below, to get the whole football picture and put it on your grid, Facebook aside …
Thou protesteth too much?!? That be me. Computer geek? Can’t see. Omniscient? I am not He. If you are reading my attempted Facebook teaser, it was supposed to be All About The Football, or even futbal, in freeze frame or infinite loop, but that Alleged Giant, of social media, clipped off the wording top and bottom, front and back, fore and aft, day and night, (that last part is important), then sent the post anyway, a yammering of names! I tried to fix it, and must own up to my own part, but I was just shown more ads. I...
