Sadness

WFFNL with a hint of Scri-Drama... Wiggy is knee deep in it... I can kinda guess who this D.B.A. might be, who approved the message and want it to be published... BUT new sponsorship and Wiggy censorship should be two separate issues, I think there is a subtle threat/bullying in there somewhere while Roger is trying to hold things together... JMO while sitting on the fence, looking from afar. ( Why was Mayor Scrima asked for comment in the first place??? ^^ HBR is on top of her game...)

Mayoral PR machine pretty much explains it in SOUND OFF to justify Scri-Drama... BTW the occupancy allowed is higher in Rotunda and it has a liquor license.

Here is the rumor mill, and here is some fact already reported in JS.

"...the Les Paul Trio will perform at a main stage at the Five Points with former Buffalo Springfield music legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay...

Closing the street is a police decision; Chief Jack and Mayor Scrima are BFF these days anyway...

Wiggy also went after one of the rumors. The weak spot for Guitar Town will always be " TOO MANY SECRETS." (... But I am getting a free tee shirt! Yay! ) Becoming Non-Profit, less mayoral involvement, and has a detailed book/money trail will be the keys to avoid more questions and future legal/ethical scrutiny...

Brien does Miss Saigon... ( Wait, that sounds a little risque...)

It is AAA rated bond, right?

Town in court battle.

Art show at Carroll.

Art in the Park.

Reliable sources told me they are calorie free and taste wonderful...

POLICE BLOTTER

I don't want to talk about this, and the two right lanes closure for median strip painting on I-94 and the traffic back up of Hwy 83 due to accident last night... :(

Too bad they did not have my frat brother Chad and Toby Maguire.

Moxie's birthday bash is today, see you at Bosco's and maybe Nice Ash later...

5.18.12

Whichever community gets them will be super lucky! ( Once again, I hook some of my customers on the pecan bar, they would drive up from Kenosha just for it! )

Enough local politicians hang out at that corner Starbucks anyway, now they can eat.

HAWS and Margaritafest!

Here is the game plan. As far as I know, there will be a walking tour with all but three guitars ( being auctioned the night before at the Gala ) in display in Downtown Waukesha.

Rebuilt!

SOUND OFF

POLICE BLOTTER-Apparently I missed all the action on West End while I was busy tattooing late. I did not even see all the lights and stuff.

I also missed seeing them too... but Bikeasha is tonight! Also a Danger Girls meeting at WTC tonight as well... I will be at Miller Park however...

Moxie's 2 year old birthday bash is tomorrow night at Bosco's. No HBR and Mr. HBR, they will be here instead.

He got a lot of bananas...

Interesting...

Whoa, how did these happen???

Get ready for this!!! It is a big deal!

Make sure you go by M2 tonight to support the Waukesha Biker Gang!

5.17.12

Wiggy is coming back to Scri-Drama. People are minding their own business and keep their head down on Main these days with bullets flying all over the place. The businesses that cross promote will do so regardless, and it does not seem Common Council is going to do anything drastic to change the political climate with passes to BID appointment, Task Force and both city budget Scri-Drama. Not everyone wants to be on the Mayoral Naughty List...

The word on the street is that Angle Parking will go ahead (without any safety measures?). It will be merely painting the street with new lines...

It is the age of Empire, get used to it...

Here is some interesting writing:

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, the lower the level of government, the greater the abuse of government power. There's a lot of irony in the fact that here in Republican Waukesha County, people bitch endlessly about the current national administration trampling on the Constitution, while at the same time they're happily demanding that mob rule dictate the rights of citizens in downtown Waukesha.

AAA for the County.

More jobs...

Congrats!

Is HBR covering this? We demand more polka coverage!!!

FYI

That is a beautiful house...

SOUND OFF-Mayoral PR machine in full swing...

POLICE BLOTTER

People are betting on Oak Creek...

I tried the new Pork Fries Basket from Pat's Rib Place, it is DELICIOUS!!! It is Pulled Pork over Smoky Fries and topped with Coleslaw. You pour that Mad Dog BBQ sauce on top of it... Yum....

Enough for the day! We have some BIRD WATCHING to do!!!

FYI, "SONGBIRD" by Kya will be housed inside WTC due to all the nice sharp metal blades on it. We have to watch out for the safety of the townies...

5.16.12

So... Stay tuned?

Scri-Drama continues here... Now we will see who are on the Mayor appointed Ethics Board.

Giant guitars delivered.

Kya, I am keeping an eye on your Songbird guitar... (Through the ceiling, I see...)

Wow, just made it before the storm...

Gregg writes about the Army... I apologized to the board yesterday about Donut Day. As a downtown merchant, I am still embarrassed.

We have a Fanboy here, he will get along with WTC people just fine... HBR did not ask the baseball question though or is the answer not fit for print?

It closed just about the time I started on Main. No one goes to West End those days because of the Gazebo.

I think I am on that list too... I will teach them how to get on every list: A-List, Sponsor List, Mayoral Naughty List...

SOUND OFF

POLICE BLOTTER

Busy Sunday coming... YBQ at YMCA or Pig Roast at Gen 5???

Don't forget Moxie's big birthday bash at Bosco's on Saturday... I do hope to see Mr. and Mrs. HBR, Argyle Boy, Danger Girls and Mr. Nipple Gate. ( If he survives his Thursday appointment with me and that is a big MAYBE.)

Ride of Silence is today...

I missed quite a few entries... Sorry!!!

I will be marrying them soon!!! You know her as Alexa Grey!!!

Sis and niece in a show reviewed in London...

Does anyone know what happened to Angle Parking on Monday's B & G meeting? I did not find out about that meeting until Tuesday...

5.15.12

I kinda have to laugh at this line: " When we signed on, the mayor said it wouldn't be a lot of work, and it is a lot of work." Another "Confused by the Mayor" victim.

Dude, really? There are conflict of interests all over the place on New Day Fund, BID appointments, and Guitar Town, and Mayor Scrima is sending out the attack dog on the next Naughty List target? Shay, please don't involve the whole downtown to more Scri-Drama... A lot of downtown merchants are tired of it. I know I am. Sooner or later, it will reach a stage when the support for WDBA and FFNL will erode as all the drama reach a saturation point, it is not a good thing for the long term health of the downtown.

Congrats! Now the tough part starts...

Adam said they had a great turn out as he dropped off a few left over baked goods... Barry did bring his Trek in. Represent!

A concept change.

Brien reports.

Erik reports.

Walking that line in downtown is not easy. I am a merchant, a property owner and a gallery owner, and I think I can talk to almost everyone downtown. I don't agree with everyone and I see good and bad in both sides, but the prolong drama is definitely not good for downtown. As people say I stir the pot by blogging or linking to opposing views yet I am not the news maker... I trust my readers are independent thinkers...

On a side note on something that is more important to me, Bitsie will go on a 10 day pain med trial to see if her limp improves... The big C word in greyhounds is what worries me...

Hey, when life hits, a lot of other stuff are trivial...

Bike Week reminder

Poor Bitsie the greyhound is not doing well, and the vet appointment is this morning... I might need a Pinch-Rider (Barry) for the Bike to Work day... My laziness has no end...

5.12.12

Bad stuff to get into...

Here comes the conclusion of this episode of Scri-Drama.

Good stuff for Mother's Day.

Main Street merchant alert...

More good stuff...

The future...

There will be no Donut Day on Main Street this year. WDBA asked Salvation Army not to hand out free donuts and water on 6.1.12 so it won't hurt the local food merchants, but there will be free donuts elsewhere in the city, stay tuned. There will be donuts every Saturday at WTC however...

How about some free music instead? Gray Vacation is going to play out of Moxie's on 6.1.12.

Guess where everyone is gonna be tonight? Daisy Chain is playing at Rooters! The now famous Guitar Town artist Jason Vogt will make an appearance there after 10pm so the Barry and Jason fan club should know... :)

5.11.12

Jason's on front page again! The growing secret fan club of his is loving his sideburns, the word on the street is that they are "dangerous". The Guthries also have tie to WTC and Galleria Edge, Wis is a Les like treasure of Waukesha himself. ( The rumor is that Museum IS getting a giant guitar, Brien. With Springs Gallery, WTC, Couri's and People's, it will be a nice entry from the West.)

The Bieg fashion show of group effort from Gen5, Bieg, Three Sisters, and Moxie with seats for husbands at Nice Ash was last night. This dancing clip was provided by Moxie PR department featuring Sabrina.

Is he a hated Cubs fan?! That is the question!!!

Paying tribute.

Welcome, unless you are on the Mayoral Naughty List of course... The word on the street is that something is going on with lots on Wisconsin Ave. behind us, perhaps someone is making a play on them.

Puppy power!

The Waukesha Biker Gang surrounded me last night with chains and brass knuckles to demand that I announce the Bike week is next week, The Bikesha ride will end at their headquarter Del Fuegos, which is also known as M2 (Magellan 2).

Also a shout out to Argyle Boy last night, he celebrated his 30th at Magellan's with a Twinkie birthday cake.

Pizza Talk will turn into TIF talk in a hot minute...

Save the date.

Erik got something to share...

Today is also the date the creditors' meeting for the "no asset" bankruptcy for Chef with Many Names (but often creditors do not attend but file legal action afterwards). Likely a part of his plan to dodge responsibilities with his one of his alleged several social security numbers... It is jail time if someone care enough to call out his scheme that he bragged about at bars and the line is forming for the people he screwed over in Waukesha...

Look at these two sorry Bloggers/Columnists and Troublemakers...

TGIF! Acupuncture time for me! Have a nice day!

Done deal...
