Cheerios & blueberries … a simple life
My son Roy is busy dissecting his blueberries from his Cheerios breakfast … that means he’s almost finished. ACK, hold on.
OK, just rescued a few soggy Cheerios from his hair, delicately placed there by him. The boy is a genius.
Big weekend in store, hope you can join me:
- I’m broadcasting from Tinley Park this afternoon 3-7pm, getting ready for the Brad Paisley / Dierks Bentley / Jimmy Wayne show … stop by for your chance at cool prizes!
- Tonight, all the line dancing you can handle @ Sundance Saloon in Waukegan (300 Lakehurst Rd, just east of the Tri-State) with the FNPP between 9-11pm
- Tomorrow night, win Toby Keith tickets at our Coors Light Beer N Bags finals in Chicago … between 8-11pm, I’ll be at Edison Park Inn (just off Northwest Highway on Olmstead, opposite the Metra station)
Make it a great day, we’ll chat after 3pm.
Randy Houser, Brad Paisley, Miller Lite & Smart Kids
Glad to be back from vacation, we had a blast in Wisconsin on Lake Beulah with the extended family. If you missed any of our hijinks, follow me on Twitter @radiodrew HERE, and you’ll be connected 24/7.
Tomorrow’s a big day – make plans to join me at Arlington Park between 3-7pm, as I broadcast with Randy Houser. He’s the guy with my favorite song on the radio right now, Boots On, plus the video that is guaranteed to make you smile. Really. Watch the video at my webpage HERE.
Then tomorrow night, I have more Brad Paisley Miller Lite Party Deck passes up for grabs with the FNPP @ CC’s Grove in Willow Springs. We’ll do a pair at 10pm, and again at 11pm. Details HERE.
Next week, it’s your last two chances to get qualified for the trip to the CMAs in November! Coors Light Beer N Bags in Island Lake on Tuesday, then Woodstock on Wednesday. Register between 8-9pm, then 16 teams are randomly-selected to begin play at 9pm. I want to see you there (directions & more details HERE)!
Lastly, my son is the smartest boy ever. Yes, I’m biased, but I think you’ll agree. Is your child even smarter?
Let’s talk about it, today at 3:45pm, on US 99.5 fm and streaming online at US99.com!
I’m behind on all counts
It’s been a pretty busy week with the boy … new words, new adventures (Roy can now get out of the crib himself), and my aunt & uncle are still here from Scotland.
With the long holiday weekend about to start, let’s catch up:
* FRONT ROW George Strait tickets up for grabs today on the DW Drive @ 5 … the show is tomorrow night with Blake Shelton & Julianne Hough!
* Friday Night Party Patrol tonight in Chicago, Six Penny Pub (on Montrose) – win George Strait Miller Lite Party Deck passes!

Make it a great weekend, be safe, and we’ll chat after 3pm today…
Smiles, Sun, Emerson Drive, and Cubs Baseball
What a difference the sun makes … even Roy was ready to face the world again, albeit an hour earlier than usual. I don’t think I’ll ever be fond of the 6:30am screaming wake-up call.
If you’re a Cubs fan and LOVE Emerson Drive, tomorrow is your special day. They’re doing a FREE show at The Cubby Bear Chicago, starting at 8pm. They’re also singing the national anthem before the Cubs – Reds game too, don’t miss it!
If I haven’t seen you at the Friday Night Party Patrol recently, why not? Join me in Shorewood this Friday @ 9pm – we’re headed to Bedrocks, on Jefferson St. just west of 59. Lots of Miller Lite prizes & specials, plus you can win a copy of Jason Michael Carroll’s new CD before it’s even on sale! More details & directions HERE.
Make it a great day, and we’ll chat after 3pm.
What a way to start the weekend
*** If you missed it yesterday, Martina McBride was my surprise phone call … she’s coming to Joe’s Bar for our next invitation-only, intimate ”8 Shows @ Joe’s” concert on Wednesday, May 6th. Your first chance to win passes happens Monday, after 3pm!
*** Mid-70s today, so why not join me tonight for the FNPP?
We’ll be at McDuffy’s on the south side of Chicago, 111th St two blocks west of Kedzie, starting at 9pm. Stop by for an ice-cold Miller Lite and grab the brand-new Jake Owen CD, “Easy Does It.”
*** After Roy & I spent the morning at the park (first of the season), egg salad sandwiches are in order! Do you have a special meal to kickstart Spring?
Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.
On the show this week:
