Sign Off TVO

Here is a sign off from TVo...nice!

Wisconsin

Another crazy weekend. We went to tricias in Kenosha where coincidently Andy friend also lives...and got married this weekend....so andy was driving down from St. Pauls and we all met to hang out in Kenosha. Yes Andy now moved jobs from wisconsin to MinnEsoda. Anyways it was a wonderful time and we did catching up.





This is a restaurant that is chef Tony Mantuano local to Tricia. Her and her family have eaten there many times. He was on Top Chef Masters Season 2...and has a restaurant he well known for in Chicago called Spiaggia which I have eaten at twice! This seasons Top chef Texas has one of his chefs from Spiaggia competing which is pretty cool.








Going with the theme of prohibition.





One of those rocks is an outdoor speaker. How cool!








This is Franks Diner featured on Guy Fieri's Drive-Ins, Diners and Dives.

Prohibition

Stagg dressed in his finest Prohibition era hat to watch the PBS five and half hour documentary by Ken Burns.

Tricia was over for a few days and we camped out and watched a lot of docs and tv shows, one of them this series. Wow, I had no idea that the build up to Prohibition happened for a 100 years and everyone including kids drank booze. I loved this doc and it goes well with Boardwalk Empire. We also watched The botony of Desire which has a segment about marijuana and its relationship and sucess with humans. The doc on Prohibition had a few too many repeated images of pouring out barrels of booze, could have been a little bit shorter...but well worth watching.


Conflicting images of women during prohibition.

Night Shift

Stagg is working a night shift and the hours are a crazy new adjustment. I was driving him to work and picking him up. He was to work till 3:30 and I was parked at a coffee shop waiting for him. He landed up working an extra two hours. So we are zombies. Its kind of exciting though.

Tv Sign Offs

You know whats weird...I don't think I actually noticed when tv networks stopped having sign offs. I love love love sign offs. Some sign offs stir a nostalgia in me...which is just so strange, no? Sentimental about a network closing? Nuts! Now tv stations seem to repeat their programming, or have 24/7 programing...or the dreaded infomercial. I love these things...here are a couple of choice ones...





This one ssays its a re=creation...its got a lot of spicy flavour!

Har!

Uh Huh
