Los Lobos Played performed in the newly renovated Genesee Theater in Waukegan last night.
What another fantastic performance from the best, innovative, and underrated band in music today. Los Lobos has the courage to push the edge of the envelope in music and the skills to constantly pull it off.
The show opened with Will the Wolf Survive and never slowed down after that. The crowd was subdued in the beginning as many appeared to be there out of curiosity, but by mid show nobody was sitting. They even pulled out a medley rendition of their most famous and top selling La Bamba.
Toward the latter part of the show, Cesar Rosas told the non-capacity crowd that CDs were available in the lobby of the theater. "Yes my friends, it has come to this..." he joked to roars of laughter. Sadly the size of the venue and crowd combined with a fantastic show reveals the unfortunate reality of the statement.
100 years from now, musical historians and young kids looking for great music will wonder why they weren't the top selling band of their time.
After the show Los Lobos hung out in the lobby and signed those CDs, shirts, etc. and my son and I were able to talk with them and wish them greater and well deserved success.

I received this from School Board member Faith Vanderhorst.
Parents and Falls Residents,
This Monday, October 13, 2008, the Facilities Committee ( made up of community members, board members, teachers, principals and local business members) will present its recommendations for the Reconfiguration of the elementary schools in Menomonee Falls. This committee worked diligently, researching available space, educational needs (best practices) and demographics of the community.
The presentation will come forth as a recommendation to the School Board. The Board will announce public hearing dates so the community can weigh in before the final decision is made.
Please join us , this Monday, October 13, 2008, at 7 pm at the Community Center.
Regards
Faith VanderHorst

There is a neat, new, funky place to hang out. The Klavier Lounge is a Piano Bar run by some Menomonee Falls residents and is near Sendick's on Mequon Road.
http://theklavierlounge.com/index.html
The lounge features live music, which is always good to hear when you are out on the town to have a good time. The Klavier is decorated in a mod Euror fashion like a club I use to frequent in Frankfurt, or the Korova Milk Bar in A Clockwork Orange (minus the maniquins). The sound system is very clear and not overpowreing allowing for conversation to take place without shouting.
The speciality of the house is mixed high ent drinks like Martinis, Cosmos, and the like. Snacks are also served.
The crowd was friendly and ranged from a guy about 24, with a gernade tatooed on his neck to a 60 year old couple visiting from Michigan on their way to the Badger game. The Klavier Lounge had a pretty good crowd considering they have only been open for less than a month. I hope they stay open for a very long time.
