Hanging With Lucas Cates

Had a good time hanging with my pal Lucas Cates today in Madison.  Lucas has a couple of awesome songs we were able to use (with his permission) in the film, including his humorous “Quarterback Copycat” (Click Here Quarterback Copycat Video).  He also has a cameo appearance in the end credits of the film, a fun … Continue reading

“Cheeseheads: The Documentary” Movie Trailer

Introducing (well it’s been on Youtube for a week) the “Cheeseheads: The Documentary” Movie Trailer, affectionately titled “A Brief History Of Wisconsin”.  It’s a lot of fun, says many great things about Wisconsin, and poses the deeper question of what exactly a Cheesehead is.  Of course I leave you hanging, but that’s the whole point of … Continue reading

Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival Fun

Ellsworth is, of course, the cheese curd capital of Wisconsin, and frankly, the world.  I covered how cheese curds are made at their factory for the documentary, and decided I had to check out the Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival to see just how much people love them.  They do, even having them on their pizzas, … Continue reading
