Mel Tillis Coming to Wausau / Facebook Event Embed

Facebook has an option that allows users to embed their posts/events into traditional webpages. Although this is super cool from a portability standpoint, it is also very crafty of the folks at Facebook. Now Facebook Events along with their functionality can be distributed on external websites.

Full disclosure, I help promote events for the Grand Theater, and I'm going to this show.

The second attempt was like a coach trying to rally the team together, "We've seen some great bands here, it has been an honor to share the stage. The Pub may be gone, but the music and memories will live on..." Rubbish. Much has been written about the way the Pub was closed down by CSI: Wausau. [To check out press/blog coverage, scroll down or click here .] All I have to say is that somewhere, someone could have picked up the phone and said, "We're closing you down at midnight, be prepared". I guess that would be too easy... it is a bigger statement to have officers enforce a vague interpretation of a licensing issue. By random chance, I was scheduled to play the last Thursday night the Pub was to be open. I knew from the outset, that this would be no ordi...
