The Nadas head back out on the road

Is everyone relaxed, recovered, feeling better after having a few post-state fair days to eat salad and nap? I know I am - even with the three bee stings to the head.    What? Yes, it’s true. The worst thing is I wasted a whole cocktail in my attempt to escape the attacking bees. The best part? I’m not allergic to the stinging insects. It was a bit traumatic, though; and as a fan of honey (a product that was being harvested as I was stung) it was a bit like being punched by your favorite ballplayer. I suppose I shouldn’t have been asking for autographs while they were working.

But where was I? Oh yes, The Nadas, the reason you signed up for this email. Well, The Nadas have two shows this weekend and I hope that you can come out and join us for at least one of them.

#1 - Friday, August 22: The Silver Dollar Cantina in Dubuque, IA. I haven’t been to Dubuque in a while but I’ve always managed to have a good time. I think it’s something about that river they have there. It’s one of the big ones.

#2 - Saturday, August 23: The Cab Lounge in Johnston, IA, So there was a lot of confusion about this show and it turns out that I should have just listened to all of you who emailed me insisting the show was in Johnston. You know why? Because you were right. The show is in Johnston at The Cab, NOT at the West Glen sister location. So . . . I humbly ask for your forgiveness.

Yes, those are the shows this weekend. But wait, there’s more.

She Swings, She Sways’ “Wasted Love Songs”

What else can there be? Our friends and fellow Authentic Records mates, She Swings She Sways will be returning to central Iowa this weekend. They’ve been gone for 44 days on a 25 city tour in support of their super cool record “Wasted Love Songs.” The first thing they’ll be doing upon their return? Opening for The Nadas at The Cab on Saturday night. (What, you thought they’d go home and sleep for a week?)

You’re in for a good time. They’ve been selling out of records on the road and they know how to put on a show. But we want you to be ready for that show, waiting to sing along with all of their new songs. So we thought that we would give you all a special chance to get to know them. That’s why this week only (today through Saturday), you can order “Wasted Love Songs” from our web site for only $10 AND no shipping. Go! Before it’s too late. Hurry!

Seriously, that’s a pretty cool deal. What have you got to lose?

The Nadas, Shawn Johnson, Lolo Jones, DRT and QOTW

So what do these things have in common? They are all from Iowa. It’s true. Plus they’re all pretty cool, especially the Question of the Week. Okay, sometimes the QOTW is stronger than others. I do what I can, people. It’s a lot of pressure.

But how about SJ and LJ? Are you diggin’ the Iowans and their raw athletic energy? Of course you are.

Speaking of which, I need to wrap things up so I can get the wood oven fired up and my Olympics Monitoring Center (OMC) all powered on. Hopefully I’ll see you at a show this weekend; assuming I can get down off this mountain and back to Iowa. Be as good as you want.

Love and Gold Medals,
Dr Tyler & The Nadas

QOTW: What’s the most frightening insect (or bear) attack you’ve experienced?
