1. NFL Football - Even with the Vikes promising to be at or near their outhouse-level performance from a year ago it's hard for me not to get jazzed up for the start of the football season. My rookie of the year from last season (NFL RedZone) will be back in all it's glory starting week 1. For those of you that don't subscribe, you should - email info@mitchelltelecom.com to make that happen. The season pass is $50.
2. TV is BACK! - The NFL Season isn't the only thing to kick off in September, I feel bad for our poor DVRs consuming so much new content. Here's a handful of the biggies for me...
- The final season of The Office starts Sept. 20th and I'll probably shed a tear.
- The same night (9/20), Park & Recreation offers you a Tom Haverford fix.
- Sons of Anarchy picks back up Sept. 11th.
- The Mentalist moves to Sundays starting Sept. 30th.
- Criminal Minds is back on the case Sept. 26th
- I'll stop there...
3. Handicapping New Shows - One skill I've honed over the years is determining which shows have a chance of sticking around over those doomed to die quick deaths. Look for another post on this topic in the very near future.
4. OktoBEERfest - Part beer tasting, part brat tasting, part musical show - ALL fun. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 29th at the Highland Conference Center and this year's OktoBEERfest features samples of over 50 craft brews along with a brat bar and the musical styling of Chris Miller. Join Time at the Table and The Network between 4pm and 7pm that day for what promises to be a great time.
Tickets are just $25 each and can be purchased at www.oktobeerfest.net, County Fair or The Chamber of Commerce in Mitchell. Special props to Porter Distributing for sponsoring the event.

Three Things I'm Looking Forward to in May
#1 – Customer Appreciation Lunch
The single best day
of the year to interact with customers and get a ton of feedback – we typically
see 400 – 500 folks in about 90 minutes. This year’s event is set for Thursday,
May 3rd from 11:30am – 1:00pm and customers can choose Burger King,
McDonald’s (north location) or Culver’s for their burger, fries and soda.
Just look for the Mitchell Telecom staff member (we’ll be
wearing a blue polo) and enjoy your meal. Thanks again for another year of
picking us as your communications provider.
#2 - Season Finales
May sweeps is probably the best TV month of the year and I
think they do it as a consolation prize for the next three months of replays
and reality TV. This May, I’m hoping that The
Office can end on a high note, since the first season sans Michael Scott has
been pretty bumpy. My preference is that they start to get back to their roots
and focus on the core Scranton group – I think there is a TV show there. This
season (in my opinion) has been spent too much on compensating for Michael that
they forgot about the other 13-ish people in the office. Beyond that, I hope
that Leslie doesn’t win the election on Parks
& Recreation since it will change the premise of the show.
From the predictions department, I’m going to guess someone
in the recurring cast on NCIS either dies or leaves the show. We’re going on
two seasons with this group – time for a shakeup.#3 – Memorial Weekend in Mitchell
The Memorial Weekend in Mitchell event turns 10 years old on Saturday, May 26th and promises to be another great event for the Mitchell community. I’m a sucker for live music and barbeque, so guess what I’ll be doing that day?
Here’s a couple links for more information:
