Hump Day, Music, Talent and Wrestling!

Hello!

Chris French here from Modern Midwest Entertainment! Can you believe it's Wednesday already?! This week is flying by, and so is the month! June will be half over before we know it and then the summer concert season will be ramped up into full gear!

Speaking of the summer concert season, Michigan is going to be a travel destination once again for a lot of the big names in the music business! Country greats Toby Keith and Taylor Swift will be playing in Michigan THIS WEEK! This summer, Michigan, and the Region will see great artists perform such as Motley Crue, Poison and the New York Dolls together in one HUGE show at DTE Energy Music Theater in Clarkston! Skid Row and Warrant will appear together at the UP State Fair in Escanaba (way up dere in Yooperland, fer dose of jou dat speak Yoopereese, eh)! Also, don't forget, right around the corner, at Hutchinson Field, in the middle of Grant Park in good ol' Chi-Town, LOLLAPALOOZA will be August 5th through the 7th! So now you're thinking, "That's awesome Chris, but what ELSE is going on?"

Well, let me tell you! Right now, I'm in the middle of brokering deals for 4 Stroke to come to a town near YOU (if you happen to live in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and the vicinity)! These guys are electrifying to watch live, and just as incredible to listen to on CD! I have them in the studio right now putting the finishing touches on their debut album! I am also in the process of scoping out talent that I can help along the path to living their dreams! It's EXCITING times around here at MMWE! I hope YOU are as excited as I am!

On a side note, THIS SUNDAY, June 12th, at The POG Sportatorium (Michigan Sports Camps) in Coldwater, Michigan, YOURS TRULY will be LIVE as the host of Price of Glory Wrestling's FADED GLORY IV! If you're in the vicinity of Coldwater on June 12th, tickets are only 12 dollars per person, kids 10 and under get in for only 5 bucks! Doors open at 5, bell time is at 6! If you can't make it out, DVDs of FADED GLORY IV will be available within a week after June 12th on the POG website!

Well folks, that's all for now from the wilds of Michigan! I hope you've enjoyed my blog as much as I've enjoyed creating it! Remember, keep smiling, keep loving life, and keep your electrical cords away from water. . .TRUST ME!

SEE YA!

The Beginning

Hello folks,

Chris French here at Modern Midwest Entertainment. This is my new blog. I must say, I've never really blogged before. I bet you're thinking, "What?! In this day and age, with the Internet being the biggest source of information on the planet, you've never just sat down and typed your thoughts and feelings into the blogosphere?!" Well, it's true. I never really thought about blogging until now. Up until a few years ago, to me, a blog was a purple, billowing ghostlike creature that I saw in a Doctor Seuss book when I was a kid.

I just decided to look at Wikipedia for the word Blog and came up with this article the size of my arm! Wow! I didn't know that blogs have been around THAT long. . .

Well, since you're here, you need to go take a look at the page of the band 4 Stroke! This is the first band that is managed by Modern Midwest Entertainment, and I'm going to do what I can to get them to the heights of the music industry. We're in our infancy stages right now, but as with any good baby, you need to feed it, care for it and love it, and it will grow. There's a few other bands that I'm giving thought to right now as well. There's a jazz/progressive band out of Kalamazoo called Ordijnns, but when I tried to look up their website (which I WOULD HAVE linked here) they didn't exsist. Weird. Another band I'm looking at is a progressive rock band out of Battle Creek called King of the Forest. I listened to some of their work, THEY are GOOD!

Well folks, that's about it for me for now. I have to get some things done around the house today, and I think I'm out of food, so a trip to the grocery store is in order. Keep smiling, keep loving life, and keep reaching for that next doughnut, because you never want to run out of doughnuts! :-D

SEE YA!
