ZZ Top review


This always happens during the fair.  Right around the middle I get tired of writing these reviews.  All I want to say is, ZZ Top played for about 3600 people, they liked it, it sounded good, they have a handful of good songs.  Can I leave it at that?  Nothing interesting happened, they are not interesting on stage.  They didn't do a meet and greet.  They do sound good, they all sing without help, they all play their own instruments without additional musicians.  

After at Bennos Micro was a much more interesting event.  We went down to see the end of the Brewer game.  If you know the area there is the Micro on one side of the street and Budweiser on the other side.  There was some heavy metal death cover band in the Bud, and we were watching the Brewer game at Bennos.  There was a very good crowd out at the fair tonight, FYI.  I'm glad that people are not scared to come to the fair, but I have to say that I have been told that black kids are planning to come down to the fair sometime this weekend and try and rush the gates and just break in.  Who knows if it will happen, but what if it does?  What do we do then?  I say go buy a bunch of tear gas, tazers, and clubs.  Bring every cop in from the state and arrest every single one of these human puke buckets....Anyway...The funny thing was that when the death metal band finished their set the bottom of the 10th was just starting.  At Bennos we have a cable feed, Bud had a satalite feed.  So we saw everything 2-3 seconds before Bud.  It was so funny to be apart of.  We would see something and react, then the 150 or so people watching at Bud would react.  Great time at the Fair, Great time at Bennos again.

EAT at the fair...
Took the family to the fair again..we had baked potatoes, various flavors of milk, cheese nuggets, grilled cheese, other stuff...then the cream puff.  Drakes first time.  He loved it.  Dane ate half a one all by himself and wanted more.  A good end to the fair for the boys.  Still 5 more days of fun for me. 

NEW security lives up to the hype...
After Thursdays attack by human pukes, State Fair hired new security to check ID's.  They make the same we make, can get a raise (something I have not gotten in 16 years) and no doubt the Fair is paying $15 or more per hour for their services.  Here are a few thoughts.  How high is the qualiyt going to be for security that had nothing to do the day you call them (a Friday in Milwaukee) and can work for 10 days.  They literally bus these people in everyday, give them shirts to wear, and march them to a gate.  Today one of them was doing such a great job that the police department had to tazer him twice and arrest him.  I don't think I remember anyone from my crew getting arrested...yet we work for 16 plus years and get paid the same as someone working for 16 minutes.  Hope things go well to end the fair...
