48 Hour Band Contest
May
1
to May 3

48 Hour Band Contest

  • Klockow Brewing Company (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This is where glory is found. Your life meant nothing before this.

But first, this is how it all works!

Musicians will gather at Klockow Brewing on Thursday, May 1, at 6 p.m. You’ll put your name and your preferred instrument on a slip of paper, where it will be drawn randomly to assign people to their band. Being random, you could have a well-rounded ensemble, or you could be three drummers just trying their best to make a song. From there though, you will have 48 hours (or two days in layman’s terms) to write three songs (or up to 10 minutes of music) that will be performed at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. You will be playing for legions of adoring fans, as well as three surly and sarcastic judges.

The victors will win a prize and have crazy bragging rights.

But before glory, immortality, etc. etc. can be achieved, there are a few ground rules. First off, the judges will be scoring you all on:

  • Originality

  • Bandiness (you know, the well-known word for how good you play together)

  • Stage Presence

  • Participation (everyone in the band needs to pull their weight)

  • Your band name and song names

  • And of course the X-factor. Does your band have, what the French say, that certain something?

As far as the performance itself on Saturday, the rules are thus:

  • Don’t suck

  • No covers

  • No biting or kicking

  • STRICT 10 minute turn over between sets. If you can’t move stuff on or off in a timely fashion, don’t bring it.

  • Your set is expected to be 10 minutes, though not exceeding that amount of time.

  • The winner will perform their set again at the end of the night!

  • Starting band will be drawn at random, and all bands MUST be present by 6 p.m. on Saturday. Each band must be ready to load onto the stage during the performance of the band preceding them.

To assist with loading equipment on and off the stage, musicians are encouraged to use the house gear, which includes a drum set, guitar amp, bass amp, and two microphones.

Biking for Beer: A Spooky Spokes Bicycle Pub Crawl
Oct
30
4:00 PM16:00

Biking for Beer: A Spooky Spokes Bicycle Pub Crawl

Join us on Wednesday, Oct. 30, for our Biking for Beer: Spooky Spokes Bicycle Pub Crawl! This pub crawl, or in this case, pub roll, will be hitting three different beer-centric locations over the course of 7 miles: Rapids Brewing Company (brewpub), Klockow Brewing Company (brewery & taproom), and The Pickled Loon Saloon (gastropub). Each stop will have free beer drawings!
We’ll be meeting at RBC at 4 p.m. and spending 30 to 45 minutes at each location (more information on route and other details below), finishing by coming into town to Klockow Brewing.

And in honor of Halloween, we insist that all of you dress in your best costumes! Only catch is that you have to make sure nothing catches in your chain, so sorry, probably no Dementor costumes.
Remember, sun is setting earlier all the time, so be sure to have bike lights for the ride home!

Advice from a year-round bicycle commuter:
So you’re going to bike around town, utilizing streets, trails, and highways? Sound daunting? Perhaps, but then again, so does everything that you’ve never done before! Trust me, as a year-round bike commuter for the past 12 years, I’ve seen it all. And no matter what time of year, whether in a small town or a big city, commuting by bicycle is a fun way to get around, and as long as you follow a few basic rules, perfectly safe. 

First thing you keep in mind as being a part of Biking for Beer, you’re going to be with a group. Particularly when biking in a populated area, there is strength in numbers! The best thing you can do for bike safety is visibility, and the best thing you can do for visibility is for there to be too many of you to ignore.  
So you’re off to a good start with this ride! 

Sticking with visibility, there are a couple key things a bike commuter should do:

  • Wear bright/reflective clothing.

  • Have sufficiently bright lights on your bike, particularly a red light on the back.

Once you’re perfectly visible, the next key thing to do is always pay attention. You should always be aware of your surroundings, from any obstacles that might be on the path in front of you, to any cars that you might be sharing the road with. Making yourself seen is a great start, but in the end, you’re in control of your bicycle. Ride with purpose. 
Lastly, safety gear is always a must. Unless you’re about to tackle a mountain, this gear is actually quite simple:

  • Helmet

  • Protective glasses

The helmet is an obvious piece of equipment, but I would argue the glasses are just as, if not more, important. Depending on the day, there could be debris in the air when it’s windy or raindrops from a random shower. If you’re being kept from keeping your eyes open and on the road, your likelihood of a crash has just increased. That, of course, is where the helmet comes in! 

But enough of preparing for the worst. Bicycling is fun, after all! We’ll be riding as a group at a leisurely pace after seeing our friends at Rapids Brewing Company. If you win a free beer, we recommend saving it for next time so that you don’t drink too much on the ride, but you do you. We just want to make sure everyone’s safe (if at any point someone appears to be too intoxicated to ride safely, you’re out of the ride and we’re calling you a cab). We’ll ride across the footbridge over the Mississippi River and follow that trail nearly the entire way to Klockow Brewing, where another round of pints will be available. After about another half hour, and after another round of free pint drawings, we’ll hit the longest leg of our journey! First down 2nd Ave. S, then Airport Road once at the edge of town, we follow that to Harristown Road which connects to Hwy 169. We’ll ride the wide shoulder of the highway the rest of the way to the shore of Pokegama Lake and the Pickled Loon, for more pints, drawings for drinks, and a little bite to eat to refuel!

Last but not least, we’ll ride back into town and regroup again at Klockow Brewing, where we’ll likely have another pint, of course! If nothing else, we’ll all be safely back in town.
