A lot of bull

I have to tip my hat (if I wore one) to WFRV CBS 5 morning reporter Wendy Neuberger. Bulls & Broncs were recently at the Resch Center and she was here for an early morning TV live shot. I told her we might have a bull here by the time the live shots would go on and I told her she could get on the bull if she wanted to. Sure enough, we got the bull and she got on it. Now, the bull was inside the gate so it couldn't really move around. But still, it takes a lot of you know what to do it and she did! The rodeo was super successful and Friday night was "Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night." The night was a benefit for Deanna Favre's Hope Foundation.

We've had huge turnouts for the Rodeo, World of Wheels and Freestyle Motocross the past few weeks. I've had the opportunity to do live TV with all of those folks in the early morning, so you get to know the players. They are all great and friendly people. I question the sanity of those that ride on bulls or do backward flips on a motorcyle in mid-air, but different things make people tick.

Let Me Be Frank Productions had a successful run with its first show in the Meyer Theatre. The next one is "Me & Bobby McGee" April 27 - May 12. It's a 70s show set in Madison in the year 1977. And you know what? The song Me & Bobby McGee isn't even in the show. It's actually a rock hangout in the show. Frank is such a freak.

I would be remiss if I didn't touch on the Blue Man Group that was at the Resch on March 27. What an awesome show! The sold out crowd was entertained. We've had it pretty good this winter and spring with some unique events when you talk about Cirque du Soleil and now USA Volleyball coming up in June 1 & 2. Next time I'll talk more about that event and give you a unique opportunity to get discounted tickets. Meanwhile, the Gamblers season is winding down and soon we'll be talking about the playoffs. Until next time, see you in the seats.
