As many of you may know, tomorrow is Cinco De Mustache. I have been growing a Mustache for about a month now to raise money for the Make a Wish foundation, and there will be a Stache' Bash tomorrow night at the Great Dane in downtown Madison at 7:30. It's not to late to donate just shoot me an email or show up at the Great Dane tomorrow night and donate there. I will be in a Mustache related costume, and I'm sure there will be a lot of drinking.
Hope to see some of you there.
I will put my cooking segment up in a couple weeks, but to tide you over, here is a brief clip in which I participate in some morning Show shenanigans.
Enjoy.
Thursday I waited in line for two hours at a Woodman's of ALL places to meet the man, the myth, the legend, Dan Aykroyd and buy his tastie Vodka that comes in an awesome glass skull. I didn't really get to say much to the man. There was only enough time for an autographed bottle and a quick hand shake photo op. there were a lot of people in line behind me and I think Mr. Aykroyd was in for a long night. If I were the man I think I might have gone through more than a few of thosse bottles before the night was through.

Also, to those who live in the Madison, WI viewing area, I will be doing a cooking segment on Weekend Morning Live on NBC 15 between 8:30 and 9:00 in the AM. It's early, so don't forget to set your DVR's. If you don't live in the Madison area, I will put the segment on the youtube sometime in the near future.
The Death of Analog Television has come. WMTV-NBC 15 in Madison shut down its analog transmitter on February 16th at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time, and in doing so, ended the era of smacking the back of your television to get good reception.
Here's to you TV (lifts glass for a toast) We had some great times you and me. You were my only friend. I'll miss you.
Philo T. Farnsworth invented the television back in 1927. Since then it has become loved and hated by billions and billions, but after tonight the television that we ALL grew up with will cease to exist (if you have been living under a rock for the past 9 years, TV is going digital) Originally slated for the 17th of February, All stations in the Madison area must now end their analog signal by the 17th. If you're doing the math at home, that means a day early. Don't forget to set your alarms for 11:55 tonight (if you happen to go to bed early like me), watch the signal turn to snow, have a drink in it's memory, and then go back to bed because you have to get up in two hours.
Come back tomorrow for part 2.

It's been a while since I posted anything, but I thought this was pretty awesome and think The CDP will appreciate it. My uncle Ted used to work at a Showbiz Pizza in Appleton, WI. The first time I ever saw a pineapple was in the kitchen of that Showbiz. I was around four years old. That is the only memory of a first fruit encounter that I have.
Anyway, these guys made a documentary about the source of a majority of my nightmares when I was a wee lad. At the time I had an irrational fear of gorillas, so to me, the animatronic keyboardist was a horror show. I have since grown out of my fear and have developed a great love and respect for... You know what, just watch the trailer.
