The date was April 7th, 2010. Before opening for Daughtry at U.S. Cellular Arena that evening, Cavo stopped by to preview their debut album, “Bright Nights, Dark Days” which is in stores and available for download. Cavo performed 4 songs for us that day and joined us for lunch. A great group of guys from St. Louis who can rock it. Good stuff!

In Eclipse, Bella (Stewart) once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward (Pattinson) and her friendship with Jacob (Lautner) — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.

And if you enjoyed that performance, check out the one of him singing Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”!

Matt Hamman is one of my Facebook friends and created this fun video to Owl City’s “Fireflies” with an app on his I-pod touch.  I took him 7 days to complete.   If you like the video, post it on your page…I think it’s pretty cool!

Who says you lose your flair as you get older?

This gentleman shows off his moves to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.”

Did anyone else see this one coming?  SNL will have to bring back Rachael Dratch to play Elena Kagen in future skits?   She would be PERFECT!

I was able to check out “Eclipse” during our Mix Sneak Peek and let me tell you – it was AWESOME!

Here’s my rundown of the highlights

• the effects are amazing during the fight scene
• very steamy scenes between Bella and Edward, especially in his bedroom
• Jacob barely wears a shirt during the movie
• Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner’s acting is getting a lot better compared to the first movie

Lowlights:

• Jasper’s hair still needs some work – he reminds me of Edward Scissorhands
• scenes involving the newborn vampires in Seattle are kind of cheesy
• Bella’s engagement ring is ugly (sorry, but it is)
• Kristen Stewart still can’t act

Can’t wait for you to see it – I believe, it truly is the best so far of the three movies in the saga.

A true sign of a SUPERSTAR is someone who appeals to all generations, Lady Gaga is a SUPERSTAR!

There was an unexpected surprise at the 2010 Summerfest Opening Ceremony, Thursday at the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse.

As President and CEO Don Smiley was at the podium speaking to the crowd, out came Windell Middlebrooks, the Miller High-Life delivery guy from the TV commericals. He had a hand truck full of Miller High Life, which was passed out to the crowd for a Summerfest toast.

Thanks for the free beer Windell.

What a way to kick off the 43rd edition of Summerfest!

What is your preference when it comes to a stove  - gas or electric? Does one cook better, which type of stove is easier to clean?

I’m in the final stages of designing a dream kitchen with Kaerek Homes in West Allis for their upcoming MBA Parade of Homes Tour.

So far, your suggestions on countertops, lighting, flooring and cabinets has been extremely helpful. Now the little things (like which stove most people prefer) has been overlooked, but is just as important as everything else when it comes to this remodel.

Let me know by leaving a comment here – if you could have your dream kitchen, what type of stove would you want?

Don’t forget you can see the finished kitchen during the MBA Parade of Homes Tour, August 21st – September 12th in Oak Creek.
