Facebook dot Com, slash would Radio, schmidty Lot's going on
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Man, I mean we're talking the weekend before official Halloween,
so all the spooky events, and I'm going to start
with the biggest Halloween party in West Michigan going down
on Saturday. It's Oddity's on Ottawa. This technically is at
the Grand Rapids Garage Bar and Grill. We love that place,
but it's a block party, so they're shutting roads down.
I'm going to be out there mceing, finishing up some
(00:39):
final touches on my costume. And everything starts at two o'clock,
goes two to eleven. Live music, great food, drinks. It's
going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I would think they would take care of their MC
as far as the food and drinks are concerned, right.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You know, I've got to tell you it's Soaring Eagle
sponsoring it. I know them very well, and our dear
friend Russ is behind this new such you might want
to uber down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So it's going to be fantastic fun.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We call that mc oil.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, I believe I'm funnier. Everybody loves me more.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
That's right, That's what I thought. Well, good meeting.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
After the meetingh oh, this sounds so fun.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So cute boo at the Barn Tomorrow and Saturday with
our friends at the Critter Barn, frightful weekend of fun.
They're going to have a ton going on with all
of their beautiful animals. You can wear costumes, you'll enjoy decorations, food,
a lot of good times, and all the fundraising they
do there is just a really good thing. They're trying
to work to get more schools able to visit them
for programs.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's a fabulous spot.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And a lot of hand washing stations.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They're very good at that.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I love this because I've actually seen the Candlelight performances
two or three times now. They're doing a Haunted evening
of Halloween classics. So this is tomorrow night, Wealthy Theater.
This is all candle light string instruments. It is really
really cool.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
What it sounds great to me?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I take there.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I was just thinking of my deer hunting cousins sitting
in the front row at one of those, and I
made myself laugh.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
So I was gonna say, because you know string instruments,
Steve Kelly, you did play tennis, so you're familiar with string.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
You could just for a minute in Carhart see Tim
Todd and Tom and me, you'd understand what I was
laughing about.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Our Grand Rabbits Griffins back in town on Manitoba back too.
This is going down. What is this Tomorrow night? We
got a Friday night game. Yes, two dollar beer, two
dollar dogs. It's going to be a lot of fun.
We've also got I like this. His name is Michael Blaustein.
He's a comedian. The Taste of Me Tour is coming
to JLC Live at twenty Monroe. I'm telling you a
(02:44):
fun date night, fun night out with friends. That is
tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
This sounds really cool.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Our Grand Rappids Ballet is doing Sherlock. What perfect timing
for the Halloween season, so it will actually kick off
tomorrow night and go through Halloween weekend as well. Tickets
are still available for that. We've got Abba kind of coming.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Mania the Abba tributes.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I like that you went with this one. Although Gimme, Gimme,
Gimme is tops for me. DeVos Performance Hall. This is
October twenty sixth, so this will be Sunday night, six
point thirty. Still tickets available. I have read so many
incredible reviews. It's like you're actually in speed and watching them.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
This band transcends demographic. When we were at the wedding
this weekend in DC, they did Gimme, gimmey, gimmey, and
the kids went nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
These did they twirl their their napkins.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
There was a lot of twirling and napkins. What does
that mean?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You said it so perfectly. It really does transcend generations.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So good. Finally, this sounded so cool to me.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You guys underwater pumpkin carving, so I'm suffering again?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Is that something Tim, Todd and Toole would like to do?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
A tool is not the name. I believe that's been
used before.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But if you want to head out to Miss Gigan,
this is happening at the USS Silverside Submarine Museum.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's a tradition.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
They're going to host an underwater pumpkin carving competition with
the Miskegan County Sheriff's dive team.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh good, it's totally free. It's no one's going to die.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The average people don't just show up and.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Put their hold. I can't even get the eye out.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Knives and underwater.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What could possibly go wrong going on this weekend as well?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, be sure to sign the waiver.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Can I throw one more in there for Smitty?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, it's rivalry weekend.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Not only Mischigan Michigan State, but the anchor Bone class.
