Motorcylces, Midgets, Miller Brew, and Kid Rock!

So we started the day off by heading to Milwaukee HD (just north of town). The yhad a huge blow out event going on. We got there around 11am and there were already like 5000 people there. No joke! It was a big festival type atomoshpere going on. They had girls in bikini's washing bikes, midget wrestling, vendors, and tons o beer! Kinda cool. The dealership is located right next door to Milwaukee's largest strip joint! Talk about planning!!! So there were half naked women all over the place. We stayed for about an hour and a half and then headed over to the Miller Brewing Company. They have free tours there and at the end of the tour they give you 3 free beers! Hell yeah! I am mostly a Bud Light guy, but who am I to pass on 3 free beers! Left there and then headed back home to shower and shave and then off to the H.O.G. fest. It was at Miller Park (where the Brewers play). There had to be at least 25,000 bikes there. We got there right as soon as Kid Rock was about to go on stage. Huge show and it was FREE! He did a great set. All in all it was pretty long day.

Got a good one planned for today. We are headed down to the Summerfest Grounds for the good part of the day and then maybe to the HD factory for some demo rides. Got a pretty cool exclusive HD Dealer party to go to tonight at the new HD Museum. Should be pretty cool. Still no Bronze Fonz photo yet. I will do my best to try and get there today. More tomorrow.

Arrgle Snarf!

397 miles later

So we made it safe to Milwaukee last night. Left Toledo at around 8am and headed to Tecumseh H-D to meet up with the rest of our riders. Ended up having breakfast and screwing around and didnt leave Tecumseh until around 10am. The ride down US12 was great. Jumped on 80/90 in Indiana and that kinda sucked. I really dont like freeway riding on long trips like this. Oh well. Made it into Chicago around 2:30p or so and met with The Russ' friends Janie and Molly. The have a small house in Cicero (West side of Chicago). Hanged with them for a few and then had a oretty decent lunch at a place called Nuevo Leone (or New Lion). Authentic mexican food + bike trip = bad news! Good food though. Headed thru Chicago during rush hour and that sucked ass. We got lost trying to find Lakeshore Dr from Janie's house. Once we found it, it was packed. Finally got thru and headed to 94 north to Milwaukee and a break neck speed. I think we were pulling around 80mph. Got to the hotel around 9pm-ish and to my surprise...it's actually pretty nice. We are headed to a few HD dealers today and then the HOG party at Miller Field tonight. Kid Rock will be there, but I am more excited to see Lewis Black. Should be fun. I am also going to do my best to try and see the Bronze Fonz on the riverfront today. Possibilty for rain today. No biggie though. If it happens, it happens. Thats all for now.

Arrgle Snarf!

NIN - Let tha hatin' begin

So let's just get it right the hell out of the way...I got to go backstage at NIN!


In a word it was AWESOME! There had been rumbles of Trent not being anywhere near the backstage Meet n Greet...not the case. He was there and he actually seemed like he was in a good mood! I was really geeked to meet Josh Freese for the first time too. Great guy. As always, there were more people than time and as usual it left me with that "really excited, yet empty" feeling that I get when we do backstage meets with major "rockstars". I get the feeling that they are cool to hang out as long as you would like to, but their management or "handlers" get all in a huff anytime you ask to do something out of the ordinary. All in all, the backstage meet was a success. I am pretty sure that everyone was all geeked to meet the NIN crew and I am pretty sure that everyone was about as shocked as I was when I actually saw Trent backstage. I cant say much for the show itself, I didnt stick around long enough...oh well. Thats the price you pay when the alarm clock goes off before the sun comes up. That's about it for now. More tomorrow morning on the show.

Arggle Snarf!

G.A.F. = E.O.S. :(

So I had Pete Petersen and the gang from the German American Fest in the studio this morning. It was kind of bittersweet. Let me 'splain myself...

The GAF is always a blast! I have been going for like 7 years now and I always end up wishing that I hadnt drank so much damned draft beer. So other than that, the part that really sucks is that the GAF always means that summer is pretty much over. THAT SUCKS! I am totally not ready for summer to be gone. Oh well. Whattdya gonna do?

As far as the fest goes, my only words of wisdom are: GET A FRICKIN' DD! Oregon cops drive REALLY nice po po cars. Do you wanna take a guess as to how they pay for them? Smart money says that they make more than enough during the GAF weekend to buy a new patrol car for every city and town in Lucas AND Wood Counties.

Dont be a dumbass. Take a frickin' cab.

Stupid Addictinggames.com

So I rediscovered an old friend today - http://www.addictinggames.com/! This website is great and awful all in the same. A few years ago, Ryan and I used to play "Curling" everyday and it drove Stoney NUTSO!

So I was tooling around on the internet this morning and I found it again. Word to the wise - Drag Racer, Hang-gliding, and Cornhole are problaby 3 of the best ways to loose 20 mins of productivity in your work day!

Enjoy?

Mondays suck...sometimes you just gotta dance!

Short and sweet this morning because my stupid alarm clock didnt go off! Threw off my whole day! Whenever you are having a bad Monday, just do what this guy did...

If you look at the timestamp on the video, the date was May 16th 2005 - Monday May 16th 2005 at 1:22p in the afternoon! This guy had nothing better to do on a friggin' Monday afternoon! That is awesome!

I guess the message here is: When your life needs a little pick me up, go your ass to Best Buy and dance like a fool!

Have a great Day!

Flobots!!

Flobots last night at the Toledo Civic Theatre was GREAT! Thanks to everyone that came out to the show. If you missed it - here is a lil' video I shot during "Handlebars"...

Enjoy!

Props to the clown that brought an Amercian Flag to the show and proceeded to wave it right in front of me during the concert! FUCKHEAD HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS DOING! The flag had a sign attached to it that read "Join The Ron Paul Revolution". Now I am definetly not voting for Ron Paul after that asshat pretty much ruined my video. Echo of Silence was great, I hadnt seen those guys live in concert - they rocked. People Under The Stairs were...umm...err...I will try to sugar coat it as much as I can - lets just say...THEY KINDA SUCKED! More tomorrow morning. Have a great Sunday!

Me Chinese - Me Play Joke...

So apparently players from Spain's Olympic Basket Ball Team got caught making "chinese eyes" in a team photo from Bejing! Here is the story from the AP Wire...

BEIJING (AP) — Players on Spain's Olympic basketball team defended a photo in an ad showing the players using their fingers to apparently make their eyes look more Chinese.
The photo, which has been running as a newspaper spread in Spain since Friday, shows all 15 players making the gesture on a basketball court adorned with a Chinese dragon. The photo was part of a publicity campaign for team sponsor Seur, a Spanish courier company, and is being used only in Spain

I know this may be wrong...But I still think that it's kinda funny!!! Hahahahahahaahahaha!!

Old People

So my next door neighbor has a one car driveway and a one car garage so he is forced to park in the street while his wife parks in the drive. The other day we were talking over the fence to each other and this car drives by and takes his frickin' drivers mirror right off! WTF??? So he jumps in the car and follows this car down the street - old lady gets out of the car! He proceeds to inform her that she just hit his car - she had no idea! She actually tried to deny it! He was really calm. I would have been all up in her shit! He proceeds to show her the 6 foot gray stripe down the passenger side of her Toyota. "Oh I guess I did". Ya think???? He gets her insurance info including her name, address, and birthdate. Her birthdate...go ahead take a guess - 1923!!! FUCKING 85 YEARS OLD! Are you kidding me? And her license doesnt expire for another 2 years!! I am a firm beileiver that old people should have to go to the state EVERY year and re-test for their license. What if that was a dog? Or worse yet - one of her Grandkids? I hate old bags that think they should be able to drive. If that were a 16 or 17 year old they probably would have lost their license for at least a year. Plus their parents would have had to pay through thier nose because thier insurance rates would have gone thru the roof.

Old people suck.

Hugs and kisses.

Random crap

Details on where they will be around 7am Wednesday.

Looking forward to Thursday - I talked to Jon Anderson from Verso on Monday and asked him to come into the show to talk about the great shows we have coming up this week. FYI - Carolina Liar is in twon on Friday ($1.06 for tickets) and Flobots on Saturday at the Civic Theatre. Jon will be in the studio (fingers crossed) at around 8am on Thursday.
