Regular readers know that we're rather fond of life here in the Badger state. Somewhere on the laundry list of reasons is that it's always kind of Oktoberfest here, even when it's not Oktoberfest.

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS stopped by the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino this week for the groundbreaking of the newest location of their restaurant chain, Rock & Brews.
