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.

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!

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!

We’re in Chicago Ridge tonight, Hillside next Tuesday,  and Des Plaines next Wednesday … register between 8-9pm, play starts at 9pm with 16 randomly-selected teams!   Full details HERE.

** The other big event is this Saturday, when Kenny Chesney & friends invade Soldier Field ALL DAY LONG!

Our US*99.5 Oasis kicks off at Noon, Luke Bryan is on stage at 3pm, and then the party rolls on inside the stadium.  Tickets are still available, full details HERE.

** I noticed that Friday is the cut-off, no more analog TV.  Do you understand it all?  Me neither, but it got me thinking … do you think there’s anyone still watching a B&W tv, embracing the old-school flavor?

Let’s talk about it this afternoon, after 3pm!
