  6. "All over America, the greater population co-opts the dives and celebrates the quirks and totems of its music scene, while turning it into some Disneyfied corruption of itself - lookin’ at you Austin and Tulsa. Someday, when you can’t find any place cool in Appletown to take your date, think back on how much local band merch you bought and whether you caught Traveling Suitcase, Smoke Free Home or Shoobie at their peak. Young people need a rougher, sketchier place where the band drowns out that loud hard-working guy who might not be tolerated elsewhere. So, obviously we need artists and staff to enjoy these places: dark, funky and full of people you didn’t have the courage to become with your simple, safe life. When you want a walk on the wild side, and you’re stuck with Applebee’s, ask yourself how your town failed the artists and weep, citizen, there is no way back."

  8. Recently, sister duo Appleton released "Falling Into You." This is the first new release from them in over 20 years.

    This is a pop song with great vocal harmonies. Musically, it kind of sounds like it takes some influence from 2000's pop music.

    Check it out and see what you think.

  10. Saw the duo do a great original acoustic set at Stone Arch in Appleton Wisconsin for April 23rd 2025 "Song Walk" event.

    Alt rock meets acoustic ballads. Vocal harmony choices, story telling, bluesy then gypsy then Spanish then emo then rock, chord selection + tempo changes always moving yet cohesive. Astounding vocals.

    Favorite songs of the evening:
    The Weight Has Been Lifted
    Dead Reckoning
    Under One Condition
    And several others that I don't know the name of yet.

  12. I just published some thoughts about an ongoing exhibit at the #TroutMuseumofArt in #Appleton, #Wisconsin. It's called, A Creative Place, and it's a stab at telling the art history of NE Wisconsin over the past 85 years. I feel like I wished this exhibit into existence! It rocks, check it out. #Art

    Perhaps the Most Important Art...

  13. ... I'm planning on creating a "Good Morning, Madison!" account based on it next. What would you want to see as a third city?

  16. What do you do with your Tilt-a-Whirl ride when you're done with it? The Tom's Drive In in #Appleton uses them for restaurant seating. Very clever of them thinking outside the box. #Wisconsin

  17. Ran the Houdini 10k this morning.

    A tiny bit faster than last year. Made a mistake lining up too near the front of the pack. Getting passed for the entire run is pretty demoralizing, despite running a fine time for my ability. 😅 🏃
