Groundhogs Day was earlier this month, but the last week or so has made me think of the scene in the movie of the same name where Phil is giving his report for the umpteenth time — tired, depressed, and ornery — saying of the weather, “It’s gonna be cold. It’s gonna be grey. And it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life.”
Eventually, tomorrow DID in fact come (“What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today!”), and the sun came out and Phil got the girl. Our version of that, though, will have to be our Mobile Sauna Residency with Stonegrove Saunas, at least until spring actually comes. We had a nice start to the residency last Thursday, so make sure to make it here tomorrow, Feb. 20, especially since they won’t be back until March 13. Thank you, Stonegrove, for bringing a little extra warmth into our lives this winter!
Fun fact, Groundhog Day was adapted into a musical in 2016. I say this by means of a segue to talk about our monthly Open Mic with Ditty Wish, this Sunday, Feb. 23! Starting at noon and going until 4 p.m., we’re always impressed by the people that come out, the monthly regulars as well as the new. Not sure if we’ve ever had someone get up and sing Broadway tunes, but we have had someone do an impressive version of “A Whole New World” from Aladdin, where he sang both parts! Though we’re still waiting to see someone do a whistling bellybutton trick.
Be sure also, you musical campers, to stick around after open mic for our monthly Klockow Bar Sing! In the age where you can have any kind of entertainment at any time, it’s good to think back every now and then to when the only music at a bar would have been you and your friends singing a drinking song. So that’s what we’re gonna do, this Sunday, starting at 4 p.m. BING!
