Don't forget: the Madville Times Blog Tour starts today! After lunch, I'll mosey over to the Green Bean Coffeehouse here in Spearfish for an afternoon of blogging, tweeting, and (I hope!) rhubarb pie. Blog readers, stop in, say hi, and if you're feeling sufficiently caffeinated, shoot a "South Dakota Sound Off" video to tell our great state what's on your mind.
I'll be at the Green Bean today from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. I'll be the guy with the computer, the camera, and the really big "Home Sweet Home" smile on his face. See you there!

Remember, next big stop on the blog tour will be Rickstock in Piedmont on Saturday from 1 p.m. until 10 p.m. I'll be chipping in my $9 to benefit Rick Weiland's campaign and enjoying the music. I'll also be interviewing friends of Rick, friends of the earth (I hear some folks working to to stop Keystone XL and the Powertech uranium mine will be there), and friends of the blog.
A bigger name touring the state and making time to stop at Rickstock is songwriter Michael Johnson. He's performing Friday night at the Homestake Opera House, then hitting the Rickstock stage Saturday. Here's a promo he's recorded to boost Weiland:
Keep that Senate seat blue... and keep your browser tuned to MadvilleTimes.com for more great South Dakota blogging!
Wow, Cory. What political office are you running for?
Mikeyc, I'm not on any ballot... but I hear that if I click my heels three times and buy folks some pizza, I can nominated to run for attorney general.
Did you meet and greet any Madvillains? Curious iowa minds want to know.
Not sure where to put this, seems people are starting to notice the Weiland campaign.

Holy smokes, Mike!
Mike that pretty much torpedo's Rick Perry's presidential campaign at least for 2016. Now when are we going to read about the federal investigation regarding EB-5 and how it will affect Rounds? Hopefully before November.

My apologies Cory for hijacking this thread.
He is a Republican, even if determined to be guilty of what he has been charged with, he will be forgiven. Since the election for a new president is over a year away, it will be forgotten, or faded so much, that people will not care.
Mike, where do you Iowans keep finding these people? Hahaha

Mr. H, have you a chance to process all the video and narrative interview from the hordes who accosted you on this blog tour at the green bean or are you going to hoard it until later when you post the $9 concert videos?
I want live blogs from this blog tour and video tapes of the masses dancing. Please identify Ms. Geelsdottir in the video tapes but keep them PG. Only video tape larry when he has upon himself that man-thong he loves to sport.
A Corinna sighting.

grudz, did you say something? Didn't think so.
I did Tim. You just dinit understand it.
I hear you have that problem a lot. Tough at the bar, init?
Have not been to the bar in years grudz, can't stand sitting listening to drunks, they sound a lot like you here. They can't type either.
Tim,iowa has been shutting down mental health facilities and wingnuts apparently are recruiting the dimmest of the dim into their party. Maybe she just fantasizes about Rocky Mountain oysters and collecting them herownself.
Yet you blather here, Tim, with a guy who knows far more than you.
Larry laughing. Larry laughing.

This says it all about wingnuts and it is hilarious,too.
I'm estimating that there were at least 300 people at Rickstock at the time I was there, hopefully the campaign will release more accurate figures in the next day or so.
A great time was had by all!!!
Grudz, you don't get to demand anything about Rickstock because YOU CHICKENED OUT of showing up there even when I offered to pay your way. You came up with another excuse.
Oh Grudz, Grudz. You've broken my heart. Our engagement is Over! I don't know if I'll ever be the same.
Besides, I might be in love with Roger now. He is a fine, wise respectable and respectful man. Plus, (Be sure you read this part Grudz.), Roger kept his promise to show up at Rickstock. In fact, I found him within 60 seconds of arriving at the party.
Grudz, it might be over between us.
