Milwaukee Info
Just thought I would pass this along from my friend Todd:
Milwaukee is home to the world's largest music festival according to the Guiness Book of World Records, Summerfest. This eleven-day event features a variety of music from national headline acts to up-and-comers on 12 different stages.
The Guiness Book of World Records lists the Allen Bradley Clock as the largest four-faced clock in the world. It is actually four separate clocks. Each of the octagonal clock faces is nearly twice the size of the clocks on London's Big Ben Tower. Each hour hand is 15 feet 9 inches long and weighs 490 pounds. Each minute hand is 20 feet long and weighs 530 pounds. Hour markings on each face are four feet high.

Cool details! I'll have to pay attention to the clock more the next time I'm in town! Hope to see you soon!
Why not post that UWM dance team video Todd passed along?
This Todd guy really has some great things to offer to the Blog. I am amazed at his vast knowledge and resources. He is a quite a guy...to bad he just gets sleepy.
Yes, post the UWM Dance team routine. All should be able to enjoy.
