Musky Fest

Posted By Blackfive

If you're in Chicago, stop by Musky Fest at Will's Northwoods Inn. The crowning of the Musky Queen will occur tonight and usually it's hosted by my pals at WXRT. (click on thumbnail for larger poster)

It used to be that the girl crowned Miss Musky could drink free for a year.  Now, it's more of a popularity contest over a weekend.  Each drink you buy entitles you to a vote.  Last year, my pal Phil and I accounted for about 120 votes.  The contestants guest bartend and try to win votes by various means...free shots or single malts usually work for me.

So, I'll be casting my votes all afternoon and into the evening for my choice for Miss Musky. 

More blogging tomorrow morning...err, afternoon.

  • Uber Pig
    AuthorLogo-pig.jpg
    Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

    Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
