Hello Milwaukee!!!

If you're currently a kid, or perhaps even if like me your kid days now sleep with the fishes, you might have wandered into our Irish Guitar Hero tent last year. Conceived, designed and largely staffed by my youngest son Tommy, the game–an all Celtic Rock version of the popular interactive video game– was a huge hit. So huge in fact that Tommy was asked by the powers that be at the mighty Milwaukee Irish Fest to take it on the road this coming weekend. Thursday morning Tom (and his old man as chaperone) will pack up the virtual axe and head north, where the son will spend the weekend working while I spent it...um, researching. Yeah, that's it. If you're heading that way, please come by and give Tommy a Kansas City hello.

The game will also return to the KC fest this year, rechristened "Shamrocker" and featuring a few new songs and improved graphics. Same knucklehead running it though. Come on down to Washington Park and try your hand. You can't possibly be any worse than this guy.
