Well February is over and that means only one more month of snow. That much closer to tubing down a river with a cooler full of Mike’s Hard Raspberry (really, what more do I have to do to get sponsored?). And please don’t get it twisted, it takes a mighty BAWSE to freely and confidently admit his love for a … Read More

BOOM!!! What a week. The Bad Time Zoo album release party will definitely go down in history as one of my all time favorite nights ever. The whole crew was back together again, with Stef, Mike, and Paper all flying in for the night. So good to see those dudes. Plus the show sold out in advance, which is always … Read More
Gig Getting.

Time seems drastically slow down in a transitional state like that, ample time to think. Was he worried that he might brick … Read More

This can’t be life. Oh well, no need to dwell on the negative. I’ve got plenty of awesome things to get … Read More

Packers and Steelers in the Superbowl???!!!! Brutal. It was a rough Sunday at the Mader household. Somehow my wife, brother in law, and the majority of people I generally watch football with happen to be die-hard Bears fans, and there was quite a bit of consoling necessary after the Packers knocked them out of the playoffs last weekend. Not even … Read More
