Greetings,
Jimmy the Brewmaster is excited for the release of his Vienna Lager. Oktoberfest is right around the corner. Incredibly fortuitous, unplanned and random timing!
What do you think the chances are that a famous Scandinavian retailer designates its Schaumberg, IL store as “South Ikea” and the soon-to-be open Oak Creek, WI store as “North Ikea?”
Speaking of IKEA, I was asked to list my favorite things about Switzerland. The Swiss flag is a big plus.
The incomparable Pat McCurdy plays at City Lights this Wednesday. Pat is like an iconic Milwaukee legend.

77 year-old singer Tom Jones recently postponed his tour because of a medical condition. For a person his age, it’s not unusual.

Have the best Labor Day ever!
