maneatingcow Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Haven't been around here in a while but thought I would see if anyone in the Wisconsin area is hitting up Mile of Music in Appleton? I'm super pissed that I'm going to miss the Norah Jones "secret" appearance on Friday night. I still might be "sick" that night at work and make it to that show. Ah well at least I'll get to see Justin Townes Earle. Other than that it's mostly bands that I don't know. So uh, yeah if your one of the other 2 Wisconsin peeps on this board let me know if your going to make and I'll buy you a beer if / when we cross paths. http://mileofmusic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Currently living in Madison, but will not be going. I have only heard of 6 of the acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Any chance you were at the Frank Turner / Off With Their Heads show last night in Madison? I just got back from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Seems like this could be kind of cool. I hadn't heard of it until now, but maybe next year. Appleton is about 2 1/2 hours away so that would require some extra planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I would have known someone else going. I posted that I was going in the small talk thread, but stuff gets passed over easily there. Do you live near madison?

maneatingcow Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm from Menasha, which is right next to Appleton. (2 hours from Madison) Hence my bringing up Mile of Music. I actually was only a fan of Justin Townes Earle prior to hearing about the fest. I've started to really like a handful more, but most of it isn't my style. Or at least isn't something I'd listen to more than once a blue moon. Still it's a cool idea, and a good thing for Appleton so I'm volunteering at it and trying to get anyone and everyone I know to come. Most shows are free, and they are trying to model it after SXSW, so there are supposed to be pop up shows happening frequently. But Frank Fuckin Turner, amazing show. I should have checked here before heading out to the show. Would have been nice to meet up with a fellow VCer. I saw him a couple months ago in Milwaukee and I would go and see him again tomorrow if I could. Off with Their Heads was great too. I've only more recently gotten into them, I don't really know why I always was kind of meh about them. Ben Marwood was a surprise at how amazing he was too. I looked him up a couple months back when I got the tickets and really liked him, but he was so much better live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Marwood was really stellar. I'll keep an eye and ear out for him in the future. That was my fourth time seeing Frank and it was easily the best of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I might make a trip down for the Chuck Ragan show at the High Noon Salon next month, I'll check in when it gets close to see if you or anyone else is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 will probably be going to that show. shoot me a message when you figure things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Cool I'll get back to you about it. I just need to try and finagle my way out of work that night. As a tangent but, I've actually been working on the guys running Mile of Music to look into booking acts like Ragan and Barry and pretty much any and all of the Revival Tour bands for next years Mile of Music.
