Girls Gone Wild

Picture this: 208 wild and crazy polka fans gathered together in the same place for four and a half hours of Extreme Polka fun, all moving in unison to the crazy two beat oohm-pa-pow sound of The Polkaholics®.
From my vantage point on the stage, it was as if I was watching a turbulent ocean; giant waves of arms and heads and beer bottles constantly moving, churning, rising up and down, up and down, again and again as if some giant storm was brewing and forcing them to move- forcing them to polka their troubles away.

Saturday night marked our triumphant return to our favorite place to pimp our polka in all of Chicago land--Quencher's Saloon. Sure playing a huge place like The Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, or The Vic Theatre in Chicago are cool- but I'd rather play a smaller place like Quencher's any night of the week!

After more than a year of legal wrangling and lawyers and city inspectors and payoffs and God knows what else, we were back at our favorite place in the city to play the music that we love for the people that we love- the ones who were dancing and drinking and carrying on like there was no tomorrow.

Thanks to Earl, and Lee Dancer and to everyone who came, saw, and polkaed.

Is there any chance (or prayer) that the Polkaholics will ever come to Michigan????????????????
