Leff's opening day tailgate bash will be a day late
Frustrated in their attempt to procure tickets for the popular Brewers opening day tailgate party sponsored by Leff's Lucky Town and The Hog (102.9 FM), many fans vowed to pay close attention and get tickets to the baseball bash this year. Unfortunately, it's already too late. The Brewers have decided not to sell group tickets to the April 10 opener against the Cubs, so Leff's and 102.9 The Hog will hold their benefit bash before the second game.

The most wonderful night of the year (for a cocktail)
The discussion cropped up in the editorial office the other day and we thought it would make a good discussion for Thanksgiving Eve. What is your favorite night of the year to enjoy a social drink? Is it tonight, which has a "reunion" vibe? Is it New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day or Opening Day, which have a "see how long you can stand" vibe? Is it Halloween, which has an "incognito" vibe? Or, is it another night that strikes your fancy?
