What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published July 1, 2007 at 7:11 a.m.

Looking out my window last night it was hard to escape the new glowing lights on the side of the M&I Bank building at 770 N. Water St. The lights were complied, creatively like a huge guitar. Very cool.

You must check this out, and other Downtown building should take note and strive to out do M&I (to be fair Northwestern Mutual as a big "150" on one of its buildings. It's a nice touch for the company's 150th anniversary). These two 18-story electric guitars, are -- of course -- in tribute to Summerfest. Nearly 940 windows on the south and west sides of the building are lit to take the shape of huge electric guitars.

M&I is the sponsor of the Classic Rock Stage and its building will host the guitars every night for the entire run of Summerfest.
