I wrote this bit about hiding out in the Milwaukee Public Museum after a break up in the early days of 2017. Sort of a fond farewell story. teakrulos.com/2026/01/23/m...

Here's my appearance on Lake Effect yesterday talking about the Burlington Liars' Club, there's even a quiz show portion! Hear how I did: www.wuwm.com/arts-culture...

I recorded a walking tour of Brady Street for VoiceMap. It focuses on history, spotlights some of the current businesses, a few personal observations. If you scroll down, you'll see there's an option to buy a gift voucher, might make a nice last minute stocking stuffer? voicemap.me/tour/milwauk...

I rounded up some recent, Halloween-appropriate things I've written here. teakrulos.com/2025/10/28/t...

Keep putting your shoulders to the giant 20-sided die! www.kickstarter.com/projects/617...

I'll be on the "Ghost Walk Spooky Talk" show at 6pm to discuss my contributions to this year's RW Radio Ghost Walk. One of those was "Bremen Street Triangle," a whacky new theory based on my childhood love of the Bermuda Triangle. Tune in riverwestradio.com 104.1FM [illustration by Ashley Altadonna]

I wrote about Lake Geneva, birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons last year. The Gygax Memorial Fund is trying to fundraise a statue of the game's co-creator Gary Gygax for the shores of Geneva Lake to pay tribute to this epic history. Check out their fundraiser here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/617...

I'm glad this article is online in time for the Halloween season! teakrulos.com/2025/10/22/t...

I've been working on a lot of cool stories lately and this one by @teakrulos.bsky.social is right up top: The true historical weirdness that led Whitewater, WI, to become known as "Second Salem," a den of witchcraft – of legend, at least. www.milwaukeemag.com/second-salem...

I am gazing into my crystal ball. Yes, I can see your future. Yes, yes, it is 2pm TOMORROW. It is foretold, I see you seated at the Irish Cultural & Heritage Center. There is a look of intrigue about you. The secrets of the cosmos are being revealed. Yes, I have seen it.

There's a dang Rapture predicted for today, so a good of time as any to remind you I wrote a book titled APOCALYPSE ANY DAY NOW (2019, Chicago Review Press). Great item for your bunker bookshelf: teakrulos.com/apocalypse-a...

Big congrats to Sahan Jayasuriya on his book "Don't Say Please: The Oral History of Die Kreuzen." He's worked on this a long time and I know how much effort a project like this is and Sahan did a great job preserving this chapter of Milwaukee and music history.

I'm on the rare but not unheard of triple deadline for Friday. When faced with this situation, remember the Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK" checklist for things to use to get the job done: 1. The Best 2. The Rest 3. The Enemy and if all else fails 4. Anarchy

HELL YES. A Milwaukee Magazine feature I contributed to just won a National City & Regional Magazine Award. "High Dive" was about MIlwaukee dive bars and won in the Leisure/Lifestyle category.

The Shep assigned me this and I started writing this up in the standard way you might approach it, but then I thought "why deny the passion in your heart for American Science & Surplus? Why?" shepherdexpress.com/news/communi...
