The end result is fairly odd, as seen in this video. Check out as seven receivers dash down the field for a completion. As of now, the offense is still legal. But for how long?
Also, keep up with the nation’s interest in this new style of playing the gridiron with the official The A-11 Offense Website.
Yesterday, I became an uncle for the sixth time with the birth of McKenzie Hayden Madden! How I wish I was there with the family to celebrate in the news. Alas, I will have to wait until the holidays to get to see Li’l Hayden. Hopefully, I will have a photo to post soon. Congrats, sis!
Last night, Andrew Bird started off Blockbuster Week, a series of free concerts at the Jay Pritzker Pavillion in Millennium Park.
Lovely.
Ornette Coleman performing at the 30th Annual Chicago Jazz Festival last night.
No matter what, the Sears Tower always seems to get in the shot!
I had a good shoot in Reno last week. The best part, though, was when we went out to Lake Tahoe for an amazing dinner at the Gar Woods Grill and Pier Restaurant. Absolutely, the best shrimp and lobster bisque I have ever had! And what a view!
More Reno/Lake Tahoe photos here.
When I got back home, I had a shoot the next day with Stephen Baldwin. Yes, that Baldwin.
It only took hours upon hours of sitting on the couch, but the four heroes (Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser) prevailed, and the universe is safe in Super Paper Mario world.
Last week, Apryl and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary by visiting the Upper Mississippi River in the small town (pop. 871) of McGregor, Iowa. McGregor and the even smaller town of Marquette are located right across the Mississippi River from Wisconsin’s second oldest city, Prairie du Chien. Throughout the weekend, we split our time among these border towns.
Unlike the drive for our last anniversary trip, which took over ten hours, this one took just over four hours. On the way, we stopped over in the Troll Capital of the World, Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, because we saw a billboard with a name of a restaurant—the Grumpy Troll—that mimicked the name of our cabin in Iowa—Grumpsters Log Cabins. We took the similarity in name as a sign and took the exit. While our lunch was merely okay (afterwards, we heard the locals talking about the real place to go), it was still worth the trip to visit the Mount Horeb Mustard Museum. Sure, there were a few troll statues around town, but it was the real oddity of a mustard homage that sparked our interest. Below are a few photos from the museum:
(The world’s only mustard vending machine!)
After leaving Mount Horeb, we got back on the road and made our way to the Wisconsin/Iowa border.

Hey there Mild Uproar readers, today is the last day to vote for Memphis Flyer’s “Best of Memphis” poll. Last year, our favorite WEVL was ranked #1 for Best Radio Station. It would be great to see them repeat!
So, if you love the station or even the fact that WEVL brought us two crazy kids together (celebrating our 2nd anniversary yesterday, I might add), then please take the online poll.
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE!!!
We were pretty lucky in our neighborhood with only little damage, mostly fallen tree branches. Here are a few photos I took while walking to our landlord’s house to pay the rent:
