If you are interested in the dumbing-down of the culture that we and our ilk gleefully purvey on a regular basis, and you happen to live in the greater Milwaukee area, we remind you to come out tonight and join us in Brookfield, Wisc., for another step in the GSTF book tour.
To wit, here's where we'll be:
Thursday, May 08, 2008
07:00 PM
HARRY W. SCHWARTZ BOOKSHOP
17145 W. Bluemound Road Brookfield, WI
With boozing afterwards, if you can handle it. So, Wisconsinites, unite!
Today At Schwartz [Schwartz Books]

And if Marvin Harrison pulls up, for the love of god, turn around and run to West Allis.
Odds are there is an Old Navy within 200 yards of the bookstore.
I'll meet you at the Champps on Moorland!
God, it's like all this site does is promote books.
/Whitlock'd
a strip mall in Wisconsin! I'm shocked!
Will, when the hell are you coming to Minneapolis?
/ hopes he hasn't missed his chance to drink with his fearless leader...
Boozing? In Wisconsin?
I hear Schotz is the local beer to try.
they know how to read in wisconsin?
how about that
May the Schwartz be with you.
Will Barbara Walters be there?
Wisconsin + sports bloggers = perfect storm of corpulence
I think you're full of shit.
Will the Big Ragoo be singing at the boozing afterwards?
If Sprewell shows up and wants a free copy, I say just give it to him. He's got a family to feed.
Will the boozing be in Milwaukee? I don't want to have to drive to Waukesha County, the land of SUVs and god-fearing conservatives, if I don't have to.
Milwaukee! Baseball games are so exciting at Miller Pa...zzzzzzzzz
+ Watch video
Will there be free prostate exams?
+ Watch video
Big League Stew is great.
If you have time, make sure you go on the Jeffrey Dahmer Reality Tour. For $37.50, you get a tour of Dahmer's neighborhood and a "Cannibagel".
Boozing with Wisconsinites? The question at the end of this post should ask if Will can handle it.
@Johnny LaRue: And he is yachtless.
We're all driving straight from the bookstore to Arnold's Drive In.
@Send It In, Jerome!: Al wants you to please try the fish.
I, for one, cannot wait for Will to do some Violent Femmes karaoke.
Who am I kidding? He would definitely do The Promise Ring instead.
@CIALIS COOPER: You can hide with me in my mother's basement.
/mother actually does live in 'Stallis
@Weed Against Speed: Promise Ring pisses the shit out of me. Absolutely worthless. But if Leitch insists on kicking out some 'Sconsin emo, he can do Compound Red. Those boys were good (the second time I saw them (with Promise Ring, oddly enough)).
@Send It In, Jerome!: This thread really jumped the shark.
@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...: If you can promise me that she has frozen some cream puffs from last year's state fair, I'm there.
@Weed Against Speed: I once had a drunk guy at the bus stop tell me I look like Dahmer. I was not flattered by the comparison.
@ltwinslow: ..said the man with The U logo for an avatar.
Will, be sure to try the cheese. I hear it's good there.
*behold the power*
And to think, I thought there would be nothing to do on this business trip...
@UkraineNotWeak: You are absolutely correct.
Is this shindig going to make it downtown , because I seriously don't want to booze in Brookfield
Milwaukee and now Brookfield too?
Will must love him some Harry Schwartz... ...bookshops.
The last time I was in Wisconsin, the trip involved six people, a rented minivan, a small tornado, a massive liquor store binge, illegal substances and a Phish show. One of those people was Will. And yes, hilarity DID ensue ...
@Jen P:
Arresting Officer: Ms. P., could you describe the tornado?
JP: Yes, it was small.
AO: I see. How small?
JP: Ummm....
AO: Never mind. How was the Phish concert?
@UkraineNotWeak: And a Kohl's.
@ltwinslow: ...says the guy in Miami.
@LeagueofShadows: But not a Kohl's Food Emporium (RIP).
@Jen P: Was the tornado smoky, perchance?
@Weed Against Speed: No, he'll kick it like a grandpa with Steve Miller.
Hey, if any of you happen across Eric Gagne, just punch him right in the face.
/Sadly, won't be there.
@LeagueofShadows: He's in Florida, prepared to blow another save.
Will...if you are going to the Brewers game tomorrow night, you better damn well go to the LAKEFRONT BREWERY TOMORROW at 3pm (always at 3pm on weekdays) tomorrow before hand. For $6 you get a free mug, a tour by the always drunk, hilarious former co-owner, and a shit ton of beer. Seriously. $6. Consider it pre-tailgating.
I lived in Milwaukee for 5 years and it's the best tour by far.
/trusts that you know how to use the google, and that you like beer
@Nocturnal emissions: A-fuckin-men.
If you're boozing in Brookfield I can't go. If you booze downtown or in BAY VIEW COME DRINK WITH ME IN BAY VIEW!!! So let me know.
/damn brookfield
I suspect this is all part of Will's big cross-promotion for "What Happens In Vegas..." as he will be acting like Kelso and screaming "Hello WISCONSIN!!!" loudly into the night.
@Fat-Fat: Were you banned from Brookfield for some reason?
@J-No: I wouldn't put it past fat-fat to have earned a ban from the Elmbrook metropolis, but I think it's mostly he doesn't want to drive that far, to drink, long & late, then have to drive back, less than sober. Seriously, the Editor should be doing this at the Oakland Ave. or Downer Ave. Schwartz's -- or barring those, & to really draw the hipsteratti that Gawker Media loves, at the Bay View location. They could even do the drinking thereafter at the Palomino, pouring some out for Big Beautiful Bobby, first, of course.
I was at the GSTF talk last night. Good stuff. I've got highlights and photos of the action.
