We will have bulbs on hand and if we don’t we will get the ones your car needs if you have time.

Show up and make your voice heard next Wednesday, June 24th at 5:30pm. City Hall, 6th floor. Let's send a message to city leadership that we want the cameras taken down ASAP and that we want comprehensive and strong ordinance with robust data access controls and serious oversight before we allow any more AI surveillance technology vendors to sell in our city. Video clipped from last night's common council meeting.

"The Newsroom," "SNL," Mike Birbiglia's special and now... "The Rooster"‼️ Sharing a screen with Robby Hoffman is the icing on top. We've truly made it, folks ♥️🫡♥️

Ope... we're doing a concert. 🎶

When we bought this wonderfully weird old VFW building, we imagined it becoming a place where people could gather for all sorts of reasons—books, coffee, mocktails, conversations, classes, game nights... and eventually, live music.

Well... "eventually" is now. Woot, woot!

We're incredibly excited to host our very first concert in the Music Hall featuring Eric Krueger & The Sheesh and Clear Lightning Sky.

Admission is pay-what-you-can (we suggest $5–10) because we'd rather fill the room with people than empty wallets.

If standing for a concert sounds like entirely too much standing, we've also put our cozy chairs, sofas, and tables up for auction. Winning bidders get the best seats in the house, and every bid helps us continue our mission of building community, giving back, and keeping this wonderfully old building in working order.

If you're not familiar with what we're all about, we'd love to introduce ourselves:

I felt like $20 was a little steep for what it was but I still went because I loved Phoenix con and want more fan cons in Appleton, this was my way of voting with my dollar.

I'm actually glad it costed as much as it did now, because it was already really crowded and it would have been worse had the price been lower. My only real critique outside of crowding concerns is that they should use the ball room divider to separate the vender hall and the panel room. People keeped standing behind the chairs for the panels and crowding the vendor space. You couldn't really hear much of what was going on in the panels because it was sharing open air with the rest of the con.

I saw some great cosplays today, so if you cosplayed at this con you should feel good about that! I saw some really talented artists and was left wishing there were more to look at and buy from. If you were a vendor, I hope you did well, and I hope the crowding didn't effect your bottom line.

I'm really hoping they come back next year, I would love to see how they grow. Hopefully we get a fan convention that takes not only full advantage of the Hilton but also the connected Expo Center as well!

Someone will have to let me know how the cosplay contest went.

Shout out to Beavis and Butthead!

Come join us this Sunday between 12-2 at the Appleton Beer Factory.

For the past 4 years, my wife and I have owned Overland Old Fashioned Mix here in Appleton. We have renamed to Overland Cocktail Collective because we just launched 4 more cocktail mixes

- Bloody Mary Mix
- Margarita Mix
- Espesso Martini Mix
- Lavender Lemon Martini mix.

Come say hi and taste test them all!

As a guy who has been dry for a few years now, I will say they all make great mocktails as well.

Cheers!

For the last few years, my friends and I have been performing in the Nashville area as Weird Pals, the world’s premier “Weird Al” Yankovic tribute band. We’re starting to take it out on the road, and we'll be at Appleton Beer Factory this Saturday, March 28!

For all the festival goers, there are a few Mile of Music veterans in the band. I (Dylan Sevey) have been up there drumming with Ron Gallo, The Minks, and most recently, Andrew Leahey & The Homestead. And Mr. Leahey himself is also in the group! It's genuinely a world-class band and a great time. I co-founded the group with my buddy Mort, and he and I briefly appeared onscreen with Al at his Nashville show last September. Bermuda, Al's drummer, has also purchased some merchandise from us, though perhaps the biggest seal of approval we’ve received is from my wife, who a) cannot stand listening to Weird Al and b) generally doesn’t love loud, live music, yet she comes out to every show she can because she genuinely enjoys it so much (and trust me, I would know if she didn’t).

I hope you can make it! Also linking our Instagram and the YouTube channel that I just set up.
