Less Talk More Polka!

I couldn't think of a better title because their band name is just so clever! :) Last night I went to Omaha to hear Less Talk More Polka play at the Bohemian Cafe. I heard about this band for the first time a few months ago when my new roommate moved in. She had a friend named Molly and this friend of hers was in a polka band. I thought it was so cool to hear of someone younger playing in a polka band. Well as time went on my mom told me about this polka band that they were going to try to get to play at the Lincoln Czech Festival. I met the group's leader at the Czech Language Foundation and a few weeks later went to hear them play. They do such a great job and I love seeing a younger generation get into this as this is one of the many Czech traditions I see slowly fading away. They played at the Lincoln Festival and as expected did an AWESOME job. I've kept my ears open about upcoming shows and was super excited to hear they were gonna play at Bohemian Cafe in Omaha...I've never been there! I've only been to the Bohemian Cafe in Iowa. What a great way to listen to some great music and enjoy the best food around...Czech Food! YUMMY! I had a great time listening to them and even got an autographed copy of their new CD (which I recommend to all of you if you don't have it yet!) You can look at more info about the band and I'm sure if you contact them you can order their CD too!!

I told him we were gonna fight when we got to the parking lot. HAHA! :) Then I made him take some pictures...which he quite obviously LOVES! The night was too short but I need my beauty rest these days while preparing for the pageant. A week from today I'll be packing and getting ready to head to Clarkson in the morning. CRAZY! Now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to drive to Milligan after work to play in the accordion jam with Shandra. Hmmm....decisions decisions.... Laura is going to come spend the night tomorrow night so we can practice for the pageant. It should be good practice but also a fun girls night! Well I better go now before you all stop reading! :)

I would like to make a quick mention of a Czech man who will be missed by many. Math Sladky passed away this week. I had the honor of meeting him a few times and even got to sing with him once. I know as I said that he will be missed by many but if I can help it...his music will live on for many generations to come! His family and close friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

8 DAYS TILL CLARKSON!!!!
