Father's Day

2009-06-21T16:33:00.000-07:00

Happy Father's Day. My dad, well, he gave me carpet when I was a kid for Christmas. But I still wish him a happy one. Here's a photo of one of my hosts. He's a dad to the dog. Pretty nice guy. Why I'm in his nose, I don't know.

Church Festivals

2009-06-20T13:29:00.000-07:00

My hosts took me to my first Milwaukee Church Festival- St. Roman's. They have raffles where you can win beer. I got to hear a cover band singing "Freefallin'" and I had some beer. Didn't win anything, but hey, the church gets my dollar bills, instead of the strippers, for a change.

Look what I found

2009-06-19T22:27:00.000-07:00

Whooaaa, I forgot about how I ended up the other night . I love you baby. Thank you for letting me rock your body.

Wing time

2009-06-18T18:19:00.000-07:00

Wing and slider night and Red Dot. They had this Bacon dish on the board, but it was sold out. They have trivia on Mondays. And there is no Shake, Meatwad or Frylock for miles.

She put me there

2009-06-17T20:17:00.000-07:00

Words cannot explain how I got here...but I did.

I love you, bars of milwaukee

Tuesday beer?

2009-06-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

Sometimes the work week calls for a beer, on a Tuesday.

This is one of them microbrews I heard about. Pretty good stuff.

Locust Street Days

2009-06-14T18:06:00.000-07:00

I went to my first Milwaukee festival today. It was pretty cool, with all those chicks running around. Everyone was drinking beer on the street and we stopped to listen to this band "the Championship". They rocked.

Stopped into the Tracks and Klinger's East for some great food and drink. This is in the "Riverwest Neighborhood". My hostess said it reminds her of New Orleans, except the streets are paved better.

Movie night

2009-06-12T15:56:00.000-07:00

My hosts decided to stay in and raid their wine collection. We watched Role Models, which was frickin' hilarous! I'm not used to the wine in the bottles, but it was pretty good.

Art in Milwaukee

2009-06-11T15:51:00.000-07:00

So while I'm hanging aroun da house until she gets back, I watch TV. They have the dish, so there's a lot on. Next to the TV is some artwork from some guy named dwellephant.

They really like his stuff. I heard he's pretty cool. He likes to ROCK.

Garden, with gnomes

2009-06-11T13:01:00.000-07:00

My hostess has decided to grow some stuff in the back. No magic stuff in it, ifyouknowwhatimean. I think she's growing corn, watermelons, greens, tomatoes, carrots and peppers. I like the gnome she has that's holding a shotgun. I need that for my home back in Jersey.

What Wednesdays are for

2009-06-10T15:47:00.000-07:00

My hosts really like to drink Dark and Stormy's. Jameson and Ginger Beer. That ginger beer has to be from Bermuda. It's a popular drink around here, and since they are free...well heh heh. i'm not used to these snooty drinks, but de good.

Chicken Dinner

2009-06-09T16:01:00.000-07:00

The lady had a busy day today. I told her to take it easy and I'd pick up some Popeyes. Her old man went to the Brewers game for his job, so it was just me and her tonight, with some chicken. It was rockin'. Somethin' about that extra crispy to get the night going, youknowwhatimsaying?

Blow it up, real good

2009-06-08T18:58:00.000-07:00

Got dis catalouge in the mail for fireworks. Wisconsin is awesome! The chick tells me we can't get anything because it's not legal in the city. They sent the catalouge, why not get some fireworks!!Wizard of AHHHS looks kinda cool.Rock your Party!

Beaver Dam

2009-06-07T18:52:00.001-07:00

So when they told me we were leaving Madison to go to the home of the Golden Beavers, I said Alllrighht!!!! It was a trick, we went to see Blake graduate from Beaver Dam High School. She's nice and she let me take a photo with her. Ithink she's going to be a famous artist or sumthin.

p.s .Their school mascot is a golden beaver, but they never came.

p.s.s. I do know that everyone was and is extremely proud of her.

Wedding

2009-06-06T23:43:00.000-07:00

So I crashed a wedding in Madison. They had a lot of food and drinks.They had beers I'm not used to seein' but I had a few. There was a jazz band, but ah, I don't dance or nuthin', so I uh, watched the gift table-if you know whatimean. All the best to Troy and Alyissa.

The dog

2009-06-05T18:38:00.000-07:00

So I figured I better tell ya 'bout the dog that's staying here. Her name is Beulah. I heard she's an ass kicker at daycare. Yeah, they send her once a week. Maybe I should open a place like that or sumthin. What would I call it?

Wing Night!

2009-06-04T18:05:00.000-07:00

My host took me to the Red Dot for their wing and slider night. Awesome! They made my host sumthin called a brandy old fashioned sweet. Whatever. They had lots of beers and their happy hour made me happy.The wings were soaked in bourbon sauce and lemme tell you, the sliders weren't weak, youknowhatimean. Lots of babes in this place and the servers were hot too. The chef, he told me he was a fan of mine- I am now a fan of his. Met some dudes who were talkin sports, but they never asked me about the Giants. Gotta rememeber this is Packer Country.
