Thanksgiving Eve, or as it's often called in these parts, Black Wednesday, is the night out before the familial fracas begins. It is a no-holds-barred night of drinking and debauchery, all in the name of prepping for the long weekend ahead.

Miami musician Karlzen makes Milwaukee home
Miami singer/songwriter Mary Karlzen first became known to many music fans via her great 1994 LP, "Yelling at Mary." Her latest disc, "Dim the Watershed," was released in 2000, around the time she moved to Milwaukee. Now, she performs around town regularly and often shares the stage with radio personality Kevin Brandt, who also helms K.B.'s Midlife Crisis. We recently caught up with Karlzen to see what she's up to.
