Green Bay's newest entertainment venue getting closer

I had the chance to walk through the construction site of the new Tom, Dick & Harry's restaurant, bar and entertainment venue. The place is really shaping up and on target for opening in mid August. The bars are in, furniture and booths are arriving daily and sound checks will soon be done in the entertainment section of the venue. Some of the old Kaap's restaurant fixtures are also being put in place. I think you will really like how this place turns out.

In a bit of scoop, if all things go well, next week we should be ready to announce our first concert at Tom, Dick & Harry's. There will be more announcements to come.

No doubt, Leicht at Nite a hit

Two Thursday nights into it, we can safely say folks love Leicht at Nite! I can't tell you how many times people told me what a great idea the concerts are. This past Thursday "Gin" played to about 1,000 people and about 1,400 showed up for "Nashville Pipeline" the week before. The weather has been pretty decent and I think people see the beverages are reasonable. That was always a key for me. If folks had a chance to get out on the town, be outside, see some live music for free and get a decent deal on a beer it had all the makings of being successful. It's been awesome so far. We've had a blast working it and are seeing a ton of people we know.

Me? I'll be pouring beer for Leicht at Nite

The thing about my job that I love is you never know what you might be doing. In this case, it'll be serving/selling beer for the first concert in the Leicht at Nite free concert series in downtown Green Bay. They run just about every Thursday night at Leicht Park on the Fox River. I'm curious to know what the turnout will be because this is the first time a night time concert series has ever been attempted there. There have been concerts, Bayfest and the like, but never anything that happens on a weekly basis. You can't beat the price (free) and the beverages will be reasonable. What a great thing it would be if this thing took off and became even bigger in the future. This will sort of be a gauge for the future I think. Check it out...and look for the bald guy in the beer tent. That would be me.

Hornswoggle "big" on thank you

Local wrestler and now WWE Superstar Hornswoggle might not be big in stature, but he's big in the world of WWE these days and gave a big thank you to the Resch Center. Hornswoggle presented the Resch Center staff with a championship belt, on behalf of Vince McMahon, to thank us for pulling off a complete refund of the Monday Night Raw June 22 show. For the first time in WWE history, everyone who attended the show got their money back thanks to Donald Trump. Hornswoggle is a Northeastern Wisconsin native and still lives in the area. He's a great guy and it's alway neat to meet these guys away from the show.
