Three things to do in & Around River City this weekend.
Man…with the weather as nice as it’s been all week, I was not only able to get all my yard work done & Christmas lights hung, but I also spend some serious quality time behind bars…with my knees in the breeze!
Nothing quite like some late-season rides on the Harley!
Wife & I have double-date dinner plans tonight, and we might head to UWL tomorrow for the Eagles’ playoff game. Not sure what we’ll be doing on Sunday, but I definitely WON’T be watching my atrocious Patriots(because they’re on the bye week)
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend before the holidays REALLY take over your life, here’s a few suggestions:
FRIDAY – FRIDAY NIGHT COMEDY @ THE MAIN – AN EVENT SPACE
As I mentioned earlier, we’re going out to dinner with another couple tonight at Pato Azul in downtown La Crosse, and then we’re heading to comedy at the Main – An Event Space!
Doors at the Main open at 7pm and comedy starts at 8pm. I was wicked smaht & reserved our table online earlier this week. You can buy tickets online here, or get them at the door while they last!
Tonight, they’ve got Pierre Douglas & James Stanley in the house. Pierre is from Minneapolis and has opened for Donnell Rawlings(Ashy Larry on “Chappelle’s Show”), Ali Siddiq, and others! He also opened Baddies Comedy Co. in the Twin Cities with Brandon Riddley & Bruce Williams, which was one the host of Kevin Hart’s Comedy Central show, “Hart of the City“.
James Stanley is from Woodbury and has been doing stand-up since he was just 16 years old! He was a semi-finalist in the “Funniest Person with a Day Job” contest & has performed regularly at the Acme Comedy Company & Laugh Camp Comedy.

SUNDAY – ALL YOU CAN EAT BREAKFAST @ THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 51 IN WEST SALEM
Before you go downing some bloodys and mimosas for the Packer game, get your butt to West Salem & establish a good base with the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at the American Legion Post 51!
The buffet runs from 8am until 11am and is just $12. It includes pancakes, eggs, Bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, potatoes, made-to-order french toast, waffles, and more!
