Turns Out I Will Lack The Lackloves


Once upon a time my party was supposed to feature Splitsville and The Lackloves.

The party as it will actually happen will feature neither.

I found out yesterday that The Lackloves have to back out. This sent me into a bit of a panic, but today I got it all worked out. (Famous last words?) After a flurry of activity and quite a few email I have secured the services of The Humbugs. This is fine with me because the Humbugs are awesome, and I like awesome. (Actually I didn't know they were from Minneapolis, so I could have saved myself a bit of bother if I'd only been more aware of the local music scene.)

Whatever else, the process of planning this party certainly hasn't been boring.

That is all.

Hello. My Name Is Rich And I'm A Beer Snob

O.K. here is a question I have been pondering. I am going to get a keg of beer for the party, which I will pay for up front so there will be a "free" imbibing option at the party. (The bar will be open and on a cash basis.) Now, I hate most American beer, and I'm really not interested in drinking it at the party. On the other hand, I don't want to get something most average American beer drinking people wouldn't like.

Given that in a place like western Wisconsin I probably won't be able to get anything outrageously obscure/weird, how unusual should I go in my beer selection?
