Thursday, 10/31

I realize I keep meaning to write about two TV shows you should check out, but today ain't gonna be that day.

I will, however, still talk about TV. At least for a bit.

Specifically, I will talk airdates for the “Marquette @ 175” show that I co-produced, wrote, and hosted for TV-19. The show itself is done, and you'll have the chance to check it out on four different days--

Sunday, November 10th at 11pm.

Sunday, November 17th at 1130am

Sunday, November 24th at 1130am

And, as a special holiday treat--

Wednesday, December 25th at 6pm.

Plus, the show will be available online, so there really won't be an excuse not to watch it, right?

Now to pivot (in a non-”Friends” way) to history without TV. It looks like History Jim's 2025 calendar is slowly coming into focus. Jack & I will invade Kaufman for our annual January show (on either the 23rd or 30th) for “Legends & Lore II: Even More Legendary”. I have no idea what my stories in the show will be, but it's three months away. That gives me two months and a couple of weeks to figure it out, right?

Then I'm going to do two big walking tours next year. The first will be on June 18th, and called “Wild Wild West—The Forgotten Story of West Washington Street”. We'll stroll up Washington Street from Fourth to Seventh (and back) and talk about all the fascinating (and occasionally sleazy) stuff that used to be there. Then sometime in early August we'll be hitting the streets of downtown Marquette once again for “Happy Hour”, in which we'll discuss all of the old bars at which people used to kill their brain cells.

THAT one will be fun.

That, of course, isn't including pop-up tours or videos or documentaries or anything else that may occur. But the calendar looks to be full, so buckle up and get ready to hear me whine about not having any free time for the next year.

I'd really appreciate it.
