I had wanted to post some of the Fat Tuesday parades today, but I'm guessing anyone who recorded them is still sleeping...so maybe I'll find some tomorrow.  In the meantime, here is a parade from Feb 20th in New Orleans.  This is the Bacchus Mardi Gras parade.  As you may know, there are many Mardi Gras parades all over the place in New Orleans.  You can leave one parade and while walking to your hotel, run into several more on the way.  Would you like to be in this crowd?

The Zamboni goes through the ice at this rink in Keystone, Colorado.  The driver was not on it at the time.  Nobody was hurt.  Much worse is when cars and trucks go through the ice in Wisconsin.  Have you ever seen that happen?

Here is a video from Megan and Liz.  The song is an anti-bullying song called "Are you Happy Now".  Megan and Liz are on a promotional tour for this song and will be stopping at WIFC to acoustically perform about three songs including this one.  The date Megan and Liz will be here is Thursday, February 23rd at 11:30am.  I know this is a time many of you are at work or in school, but I'd like to get a crowd of about 20-30 people here to see them.  If you and a friend are interested, please email me directly to get on the list.  The location will be at WIFC's offices in Wausau.  Email me asap at tony.waitekus@mwcradio.com.  What do you think of "Are you Happy Now"?
