The Auditorium

Locked up and closed to the world for 60 years, no heat, no electricity. The last performance on stage was 1934 before the city government, who wanted a new high school, condemned the building before it's time. Now to expensive to renovate for today's standards and to beautiful to demolish it sits empty and quiet in Columbus Wisconsin.

I've started working on a new set of images for Hydro Street Brewing (HSB) and this set will be of the inside of the Auditorium. This is the very first image I've worked on, I have not even looked at the "good" ones yet that I took, or at least the ones I was excited over when I visualized it through the view finder.

Sandye (who's birthday is today) and Aaron of HSB want to get people interested in The Audi again so I thought I would help. Only 30 more shots to go!

BTW - Aaron's new Scottish Ale at HSB is very very good. He changed the yeast from the last Scotch and WOW - it's a big tasty beer at 7.9% but you don't taste the alcohol (but you do feel it).

I was going to brew up my Creamy Dreamy for HSB but every time I mentioned it Aaron would turn this greenish color. It's really a very good beer but resembles Miller and Bud . . .more like Spotted Cow. Aaron said if people liked it he might be forced to brew it. hmmmmmm . . . you certainly would not want to brew something people love LOL The thing is that the beer has rice and corn in it as adjuncts (not unlike Bud).

SPEAKING OF BUD - I'm STILL laughing at spelling Dunkleweise and blogger saying "DO YOU MEAN BUDWEISER"? Did Bud pay off Blogger?

My next beer is called Oaked Arrogant Deadman-ageddon. A big bad American Strong Ale weighing in at 7.2% ABV (with new water).

At this moment we are experiencing the 5th warmest winter in Wisconsin history. I think they should measure how warm winters are by how many people fall through the ice. Maybe keep track on when the first and last ice fishermen falls through??

If you watch American Idol and DVR'd last night episode you missed "The Accident".

Fast forward to about the 1 minute mark, you can tell she is getting dizzy or faint. Once off the stage she is down for the count. No word on what happened yet.

DIRECT TV owners - now you can get Pandora radio for free. If you do not know what Pandora is (it's awesome) it's a radio station that YOU develop. For instance, you make a station called . . Led Zepplin and the station starts to develop a playlist just for you. You can thumbs up and thumbs down songs and every time you do that it learns more about your tastes and tweaks it's play list.

At the moment I seven stations, The Blues (it's very good with blues) Jethro Tull, Sirenia (orchestral gothic death rock from the Netherlands), Blackmores Night (you really have to hear these guys to understand how unique that are . . . .in fact . .

Nuff said - I have to call Charter now and ream them a new one for doubling our Internet fee a month after I negotiated a lower price. Perhaps they thought I was only talking about a one month deal.

have a day.
