Big Guy & The Cheesehead
Big Guy Hats superfan Jeff Kahlow is one fine artist of foam & glue, and a great friend. He was kind enough to bring many of his works to our The Premier event with Chester Marcol to show to the public. This wasn’t the first time we did this, the previous being at Thelma Art … Continue reading

The Marcol Miracle Game Ball
When Chester and I were at an event last summer, a couple came in with an official NFL game ball that they said was the actual ball the Chester had kicked & caught for the touchdown in the 1980 home opener against the Bears. From all evidence they had with them, it seems as if … Continue reading
Orson Welles “War Of The Worlds” in history today: The Presteblog

WPR Fun With Joy Cardin
It took us a while of wrangling, but we were finally able to work out a day to be on WPR’s The Joy Cardin show. And while getting up at 4:30am is not high on my list of priorities, it was well worth it so be on-air for the 6:00am hour of the show. Thanks … Continue reading

I met Bill Moen, the author of these two humorous and fascinating Wisconsin Bar stories books, at the Valkyrie Brewery in Dallas (Dallas WISCONSIN, that is).
