You didn’t have to wait as long for this motorcycle run, but the Viking cheerleaders are not here until the last game of the NFL weekend

Seventh Heaven for bikers? Earlier than usual means a bit more warmth, but it could rain on your parade:
— With this Saturday being the Seventh, the date of the annual Frosted Nuts Run falls about as early in the month as it could. (Could that earlier time mean that your nuts will not be nearly as toasted as they normally would be?) Well maybe, maybe not. The temperatures will be a few degrees above average, but rain showers are expected. Still, this warmth is well above the record low for this date, more than 20 degrees higher. Bikers can meet up at the Mallalieu Inn for a departure of around noon.
— This time, they are in Prime Time. The Viking cheerleaders will again be at Pudge’s for game-related interaction, this time on Monday Night Football when they face the Bears. The last time around for this guest appearance, there was not only beauty but diversity, as the two cheerleaders were a tall blonde and a much shorter brunette.
— At Buffalo Wild Wings, there are two different new specials of note. On sale are select beers, with six-packs going for only $7.99 — to go only. Their flyer reiterated “cannot be consumed on premises.” Isn’t that kind of understood?
Also at BWW, there are now breakfast entrees as a special on weekends, and hopefully you can check out a game at that same earlier time. Five of the seven listed have a Buffalo sauce theme, which you would expect. And there also is a Blue Moon beer themed early-on drink, fittingly called a bluemosa.
— As the Smilin’ Moose jumps back into its non-summer music slate, not on the patio but indoors on the west end, there is a return engagement of the Chad Edwards Band on Friday night, playing all kinds of country, with a focus on the favorites.

  • ‘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?) 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...
