Best part of the gig is when places print out and display articles you wrote about them. Love you, Num Pang!

Summer in Milwaukee. No turning back now.

Great piece from Tad Kriofske Mainella digging into the history of Milwaukee public access show THE QUEER PROGRAM. Complete with rare clips!

Ridiculously good lineup (also includes Ivy Ford, Known Moons, and Field Report)

What a great day/night for the annual Linneman’s anniversary celebration!

Perfect street fest weather. Locust is already packed!

Taking photos of this (almost) every day is giving 2025 Boat vibes. Chatting with strangers, bumping into friends, making new friends with regulars. Love you, Milwaukee.

Some of the dudes from Super Troopers 3 were doing between-inning games tonight and the crowd couldn’t have been more mild

MY GUY

Locust Street Fest is this coming Sunday. Linneman's is still out, though they're doing a free, all-day "33rd anniversary" party at the same time. Somehow funnier than last year when they were straight-up closed.

Morgan Park Picnic. Red Quean. Milwaukee summer = BACK

Area man quoted in UECK trailer

Well whaddya know tomorrow is our Morgan Park Picnic! See you there!

Remembering when the MilwaukeeHome brand attempted to expand to other cities in the country. I don't think it lasted long.

Don't worry about your laundry, forget about your job. Just crank up the volume and yank off the knob.

It's one of those days where I use an image of the dopey Matrix Reloaded rave scene in an article and I miss Rob Wieland because I know he would have emailed me and laughed about it

Tuesdays

Monday again

Monday

On Sunday we organized a WNBA watch party at Cactus Club. On Wednesday we're screening To Wong Foo at the Avalon. On Thursday we're sponsoring a music book club at Lion's Tooth. And on Saturday we're putting on a whole damn festival, the Morgan Park Picnic.

Great crowd/vibes at our WNBA watch party at Cactus Club yesterday. Looking forward to more of these!

I’ll be on What's Brewing Wisconsin today at 3 wearing a Milwaukee Record shirt and talking about Milwaukee Record’s Morgan Park Picnic. FUN! TUNE IN!

Mornin’

Oh hell yeah. Cambo Hot Beef. Num Pang. 3rd St. Market Hall. Finally.

I'm joining a lawn bowling league this summer so buckle up for that shit

Way back in my A.V. Club Milwaukee days, way WAY back when local sites were edited by national A.V. Club folks, Tasha gently called me out on a stupid/sexist joke in one of my pieces. That lesson—and her professionalism—have stayed with me ever since. A true legend.

Super fun people doing super fun things

Gee I wish there was a big list of good shows and events happening in Milwaukee this week/weekend oh wait there is and we've been doing one every Monday for 12 years

Embracing my new gig as a certified CD jukebox technician for Wisconsin’s north woods.

Good morning from the Muskie River Lodge/Bar

Another week, another fun, positive, and entirely new thing created by Milwaukee Record.

A 15.4% increase in attendance from 2025. Congrats, Milwaukee Film! This year felt really, really good.

Me, to the city's budget director: "So what are you up to this morning?" Milwaukee's budget director: "I have a big budget meeting with the Finance & Personnel Committee. What about you?" Me:

Some recent Milwaukee slop. A+ stuff, keep it coming.

I’m at my parents’ house for the night so ask me anything about CBS shows you’ve never heard anything about like…TRACKER?

Finally

Weekend

Why did I do this? What does it all mean? When do new episodes of 'Euphoria' come out?

Milwaukee

Great piece from Annie Raab about something near and dear to my heart: going to stuff alone.
