Houby Ready

[Nazerac]

The Good:  Czech Beer!

The bad:    Don't they have someone to review the poster for typos, inconsistencies, etc. before posting it?

The Verdict: I am sure many of you will report it on Monday.

[OakParkSpartan]

They probably don't.

But remember, we're saving money by paying the Exec Director over there ONLY $50k...

[Bonster]

LOL!


I count four off the cuff:

"We are returning the fest back to it's czech roots."   Whatever!

"Czech Muscian Group"

"Hamburglers" 12-1:30pm

[Robert Pauly]

The bad: Lemmings in t-shirts.

I have learned in the past.  This BTF could start an arguement about doorknobs.

But has anyone seen this American English Group.  Pretty good.  I like the entertainment line up.  Here they are<object width="660" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6lGnFvZE37g&hl=en&fs=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6lGnFvZE37g&hl=en&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="525"></embed></object>

I agree, American English should be a good draw.  However, this post is about simple proofreading. Frankly, it's (proper use) embarrassing that the Czech Oasis poster was sent out with errors.

[MRS. NORTHSIDER]

The poster is unprofessional and it reflects badly on Berwyn Main Street - this isn't quantum physics people, it's simply proofreading.

This isn't about doorknobs, it's not calling into question the entertainment, nor the fest itself.


Fact is, Berwyn MainStreet let fly a poster with at least five glaring mistakes a 4th grader could spot: spelling, capitalization, terribly incorrect grammar, ENTIRELY incorrect information.  Yes, the show times are wrong.
Check the website ... the Hamburglars are playing 12:45, Saturday.  Per this poster, pimped injudiciously by the BDC, they're playing Sunday 12-1:30p, while Stosh Polka plays 1-3p.  

Admit it, Tony: you just hate the Hamburglars.

Glass doorknobs vs. brass doorknobs? Ready...go.

[Bonster]

brass, yo.

[BRoWN]

brass, yo.

Glass is original to the bungalows. You're really getting on my nerves.

[Bonster]

Glass = grandma.  Hidden grime in the crannies.

Brass = old, cool (esp with a hint of tarnish).  Works better with the "hot doorknob" prank.

[scungili]

oh ... don't forget The Headspins on Sat. @ 12 noon

Maybe he's talkin' about Brass Monkey

[Bonster]

Yeah, Tony hates the Headspins too!

[LOL]

I got excited when I saw the schedule--I have to work on Saturday, but I'm free on Sunday. Too bad it was wrong on that schedule--I'm dying to see the Hamburlars! I've seen the Headspins--they're good. Go see them. And what goes better with mushrooms than headspins???

[Bonster]

Burgesa Con Queso!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MRS. NORTHSIDER]

I haven't been to the Houby in a few years but will probably go on Saturday with my daughter (home from college for the weekend with a friend) since I'm off work.  As someone who still plays vinyl from (the majority from the 70's) another age what genre of music are some of these groups from.  Yes, I know American English is a Beatles tribute band which is actually right up my alley but I'm tone deaf when it comes to the most of the lineup.  I'm older than dirt now ya know - but still up for some good tunes!

[Bonster]

MRS N. - there are no age boundaries when it comes to Robbling!
