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 …

  • 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...

  • 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...
