What's going on?

Around Springfield, MO:

• My fave wine shop, Vino 100, is now called Vino Cellars.  Owner Matt Bekebrede broke away from being a Vino 100 franchise last week, just after the store's five-year anniversary.  Kudos and congrats to Matt and the Vino gang!  They are all so nice and welcoming, plus super knowledgeable about all things wine.  DMan and I love starting out our Friday nights with their Free Frugal Friday wine tasting, then getting a glass (or even better a bottle!) of whatever tickled our taste buds, maybe even sharing an delish appetizer.  Also exciting is Vino Cellars will be moving two doors down over the next month, to a much bigger space and adding a patio area!  If you haven't been wine tasting and shopping at Vino, it's time to check it out.
• DMan and I hit Geezerfest at The Library Center on Saturday night.  What a blast!  From Journey to Toto to The Zombies to The Doobie Brothers to Bonnie Raitt, Geezer does such a wide variety of covers, and does them so spot on good, you'll think you were listening to a juke box!  And the weather was so perfect for an outdoor free concert, the crowd even spilled outside the patio area.  They'll be back for their fall show on September 8th at 7pm, so mark your calendars to groove with Geezer!

And beyond:

• Robin Gibb, Bee Gees brother, died today at 62 after a torturous battle with cancer.  I so loved "Saturday Night Fever" and the Bee Gees wonderful songs -- "Night Fever" and "More Than A Woman" and "Stayin' Alive."  I've still got my original album in a box somewhere.  First Donna Summer, now Robin.  So many songsters of my disco dancing days are dying off, but my booty will still be shaking to their music for as long as I can move.  Thanks for all the fun times you brought me.
• I'll Have Another blew by Bodemeister in the Preakness yesterday, in nearly a replay of the Kentucky Derby.  That horse sure has brought back excitement to horse racing!  And the horse's name is so easy to remember -- "I'll have another" is one of my favorite sayings!

Hope Yall end your weekend with a crazy cuddling evening!
