In Case You Were Wondering, Yes, The Humbugs Are Great

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.

The Winner

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?

I Feel Like A Rockefeller Or Something

The party has been put on the official Webb Wilder concert tour date schedule!

What $500 Hath Wrought

Alright folks, here is the deal. I've mailed in my down payment on one roots rocker icon a name of Webb Wilder.

If you are not familiar with Mr. Wilder, I must say he is larger than life.

Don't believe me?

Augh!!!!!!

Damn it all if Heraclitus wasn't right. All is flux.

Rest assured the date hasn't changed again, but the entertainment has. Splitsville has cancelled on me. (Excuse me while I scream again. AUGH! There. Not better.)

My frustration right now knows no bounds.

Anyway...I think my ambitions are going to be thwarted. That doesn't mean we won't have a great time, it just means things are going to be quieter than I had originally planned.

The new plan will be getting Webb Wilder to play this little shindig. Now, under normal circumstance this would be NOTHING but all kinds of awesome, however, the trouble is I can only afford to bring him up for an acoustic duo show. Now I'm sure it will be great...I just had visions of a band playing the night away.

I'm gonna have to focus on the glass half full part. I'm just not all that good at it sometimes.
