Back from vacation, with the hottest tickets anywhere!

Jill & I had an amazing babymoon in Key West … 80s and sunny every day.  Roydon had an equally fun time staying with Grandma & Grandpa, big thanks to Rich & Sue!

After all that fun, even cooler to come back with Trish’s big announcement – Carrie Underwood LIVE COUNTRY @ Joe’s Bar Thursday, December 3rd!

LIVE COUNTRY is the special concert series we do with our friends at Joe’s.  It’s private, intimate, and invitation-only.  However, you will have lots of chances to win, including every afternoon with the Drew Walker Drive @ 5!

Grab my first pair this afternoon @ 5:28pm … just keep track of the 8 songs, and I’ll ask you for any 4 at the end of the Drive.

Make it a great day, and we’ll chat after 3!

Take a moment to look around

Sometimes you have to purposely slow down and enjoy the moments you have.  As I sit next to Roy in his high chair eating “blueberries!” for breakfast right now, I’m reminded of that very statement.  

The passing of Michael Jackson also reminded me of this – so sad, what an icon he was.  If you missed any of the memorial, I found the best re-cap HERE … follow me there, and you won’t miss anything else!

Coors Light Beer N Bags is off this week, to make way for all of our NASCAR Race Week events, but we’re back next Tuesday in Joliet … full details HERE.

Speaking of Race Week, I’d love you to join me at the track on Friday.  I’ll be broadcasting from 3-6pm, leading right into the Nationwide Series race!   The Chicagoland Speedway is located just off I-53 in Joliet, south of I-80.

Make it a great day, and we’ll chat after 3pm … plus, I’ll have your last chance at invitation-only Montgomery Gentry passes for Joe’s Bar tomorrow night!

Rodney Atkins’ bus belonged to whom?

Rodney Atkins was our last featured artist in the “8 Shows @ Joe’s” concert series … I had a chance to chat with him before the show, and the All Access video is now posted HERE.

* Who does he like to introduce himself as?

* Whose bus did he used to envy, only to have it become his own?

* What type of crazy window border would you only find on a superstar’s bus, and ONLY from Rodney Atkins?

The answers to these questions, plus highlights from the concert, when you check out All Access Week 97 now, online @ US99.com!

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.
