First off, if you’re lookin’ to get good and rowdy, you need to mosey on over to the Blue Rider tonight. My buddies Luke Hendrickson and Matt Woods are bringin’ their tour to town, and you know it’s gonna be one wild-ass night of music, drinks, and debauchery. The kind of scene that’d make ol’ Hank Williams proud.
Now if you got little rugrats runnin’ around, take ’em over to the Taube Museum for this “A Start in Art” thing they got goin’ on. They get to paint, read stories, see some animals – basically everything to wear their lil’ asses out so you can have a peaceful evening.
Since it’s World Goth Day, you dark folk oughta check out that Chicken Artichoke sandwich over at Prairie Sky Breads. Or maybe pull up a stool at Schatz Crossroads and sample their soup specials for National Craft Distillery Day. Just don’t go overboard now, we don’t need no trouble.
That’s all I got for y’all today. This has been Waylon Jennings, reminding you to raise a little hell, but also to keep your wits about you. I’m headed over to the Blue Rider to see if my buddies need an old outlaw like me to join ’em on stage. See you there!
Got a guess at today’s celebrity writer? It’s Outlaw country musician and songwriter Waylon Jennings
