Finally Friday!! I am soooooooooo excited about the concert at Fort McCoy tomorrow night. Congrats to our ticket winners and our 'onstage with Sammy' winners. I get to go up on stage to introduce the opening band, Theft. I wonder if I just sort of 'hung around' backstage to meet Sammy if anyone would notice. Just a thought... =

Are planning on grilling out this weekend? You're not alone! When it comes to summertime fun, most people like to celebrate the season by lighting up the charcoal. A FoodNetwork.com poll shows that a backyard barbecue is the favorite type of summer party, with 59-percent saying they enjoy gathering with friends and family around the grill. Coming in a distant second place is a pool party, which eleven-percent prefer. Water also plays a role in the third most popular summer party -- six-percent have the most fun at beach picnics. Pizza and ice cream apparently don't factor in to many people's summer party plans. Only three-percent say they like ice cream socials, and just two-percent enjoy pizza parties during the summer. But roughly one in five people simply like a summer party. Nearly 20-percent note they would go to any of these types of events during the summer.

Beware the pitfalls of Facebook! Ashley Johnson had a decent job as a waitress at a pizza joint. But that changed when a couple came in for lunch and stayed for three hours, forcing her to work an hour past her quitting time. And they left her a tip she thought was pretty measly. Johnson did what most folks who need a good rant do nowadays. She took to her Facebook page. What did she post? Well, let's just say she no longer has that decent job at a pizza joint. The restaurant, called Brixx has posted a statement about the incident on their Facebook page. Read what they had to say and get more on the story here.

Another day, another story on the Brett Favre saga. Even if the news announces that there's no news...he's still in the news. Blech! Well, here's some good news! While Brett teases the Vikings (again), his former backup, Aaron Rodgers, is busy being a team player in Green Bay. The Packers have a new leader in quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who can be best described as the anti-Favre. Read this great article on Aaron from FoxSports.com here.
