Any BIG future plans?We have listened to the people and we are going to make a CD! We’re working on
songs that not only showcase the talents of every member, but also to showcase what the band is. There is also another project in the works. One night, some people said, “I wish I could see this kind of party every night.” It lead to conversations and we a DVD came about—a night with The Front Fenders. This live DVD will capture the fun of what we really are.
“It will scream out fun.”What are some of your favorite places to play?This is a hard question. We have played at so many great places in and out of the area. As long as there are people who want to have fun, it’s our favorite place.
expect?A great time from the start of the night right up to the end. Just be ready to be part of the show. It is all about the people who come see us—that’s what makes The Front Fenders.
What are some of your favorite songs to play?Some of the favorite songs we love to play . . . well “every-thing.” Every song we play seems to take on a life of its own and it’s always fun for us to see how people will react each night. It’s fun to have a different reaction from a differ-ent crowd each night.

TELL US A FUNNY BARTEND-ING STORY FROM YOUR PAST. Years ago, our bar-back Matt, left the sink water running, forcing us to work in ankle high water the en-tire night. When I asked Matt about it, he glanced up with this priceless stare and said “Ugh I dropped a bunch of glasses;; they all broke
WHAT ARE PEOPLE DRINKING NOW THAT THEY DIDN’T DRINK 10 YEARS AGO?Today, the bartending world is all energy drinks and booze that taste like candy. Beer and liquor purists are few and far between.
WHAT’S IN THE JUKEBOX THIS MONTH?1. Foo Fighters- Rope It seems Dave Grohl has found his inner Nirvana roots with their latest CD. 2. Dorrough- Get Big It’s a little older, but its got a club banger beat that makes people dance that shouldn’t..... which is great!!! 3. My Morning Jacket- Holdin on to Black Metal- New MMJ album drops May 31st. It’s gonna be real.
TOAST? Most toasts are overused and boring. We skip the toast and get down to business!
FUNNY SHOT NAME? Tennessee Hooker! It’s Jack Daniels and Pickle juice.
PICK UP LINE? The corny lines never work. Just keep it simple and bring your wallet!
DRINKS OF THE MONTH
Shung ThaiCruzan Banana Rum dropped in Liquid Ice Energy with a splash of Pineapple. “It really has nothing to do with Asian culture, but we named it that because it is fun to yell the name kung foo style right before you slam it.“
SHOTS OF THE MONTH
Pitbull2/3 Jack Daniels 1/3 Kahlua mixed in Coke with a splash of cream “Summer is here...... Keep it easy and keep it breezy”
MIX OF THE MONTH
GuinnessAlways tap...never bottle.
Singletrack Ale
Brewed by Boulder Brewing! (Nasty Good!)

SUMMER MISCONCEPTION #1
“We should sleep outside!”This is totally cool if you’re camping in the Serengeti, but you’re just a pseudo-homeless-person if you do this within city limits. Also, if you sleep outside without a tent or shelter of some kind, you’re going to get West Nile/Malaria/ALL THE DAMN BLOOD DRAINED FROM YOUR BODY from all the Mosquitoes. You wouldn’t slap yourself with Salisbury Steaks before running into a bear pit, would you? So don’t do this!
SUMMER MISCONCEPTION #2
“I’m out of underwear…I’ll just wear my bathing suit all the time”Now, you may be thinking that, “my trunks look like real shorts,” but let me tell you from past experience – this leads to copious amounts of
smelling like baby powder all day. You’ll get looks, dude. YOU’LL GET LOOKS!
SUMMER MISCONCEPTION #3
“Let’s BBQ in the Park!”Granted, this sounds wonder-ful, but after trying it multiple times it always results in a catastrophic failure. First, you’re going to sweat. I mean it’s going to be like you changed pants with a swamp creature for the day. Then, you’re going to be stuck buy-ing all the food. Dude, your friends are cheap asses, trust me. Then the BEES! They’re like heat seeking missiles, but instead of seeking heat, they seek;; sugar, butter, BBQ sauce, and your sanity! All of which will be in full supply after you discover they have a giant hive 50ft from your bocce ball game! Get more of this hilarity and grammatical error on Sparks’ blog at Q98.com!

THE SUMMER IS HERE! FINALLY!!! LET’S DEDICATE THIS Q REVIEW TO COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS OF SUMMER ACTIVITIES.

Budweiser & Clamato Chelada and Bud Light & Clamato Chelada are beers that combine Budweiser and Bud Light with the refresh-ing taste of Clamato, spices and a hint of lime.

Doesn’t beer taste the best at about 5pm on a nice
summer day? Well, it’s June and time is here to crack open some refreshments like a nice cold beer. Rick Williams from D-S Beverages, the local Anheuser-Busch distributing company in Moorhead, is all about beer and wants to show you what’s hot this summer.

A smooth, light golden lager with 55 calories and the crisp,
of Budweiser
The special choice of grains combined with the extended mash process produces a smooth, refresh-ing beer with fewer carbohy-drates.
Subtle fruit and citrus aromas complement this light-bodied beer’s smooth and refreshing taste.
Belgian-style wheat ale, this beer is naturally cloudy with a light golden color.
Did you Know?
Anheuser-Busch’s exclusive ice-brewing process takes the beer to a temperature below
Ice and Bud Ice Light their rich, smooth taste.

FM REDHAWKS
The FM RedHawks are back and ready to
championship ring, demolish attendance records, and continue to grow in the Fargo-Moorhead area. My most vivid memories
learning how to ride a bike, and going to baseball games with my family. The FM RedHawks may not teach you how to ride a bike, but they provide this area with some amazing family entertain-ment. The games are more than just professional baseball competition, but packed with fun promotions, inter- active fan activities, party areas, unique food, and a great place to soak in the ever so cherished sun! We are lucky to have a team like the RedHawks. And look! They have won back-to-back cham-pionships in the last two years. This year, they need us more than ever with the heightened challenge of changing leagues. They need our support to bring home the third ring in a row! If you’re anything like me, when it comes to competition, I like to win. Lets get together and help them succeed. We had a chance to chat with manager Doug Simunic about the 2011 season and had a great time in a fun photo shoot with the team. Enjoy!
-Drago
GOING FOR THREE

On FM Area:Fargo reminds me of where I grew up in Michigan. It is a place where the community depends on each other and works together as a team. When Mayor Dennis Wallaker spoke at a game where 4,600
ovation, it brought tears to my eyes.
On Players coming to FM:The hardest part is getting the players to come to Fargo. The easi-est part is k e e p i n g them here.
to be special and experience great things in their time here.

On Switching Leagues:The new league will prove to be a great challenge and a fun new ex-perience. It brings back some old rivals (St. Paul Saints) and some fresh teams. This means more
in game day preparation.
On the 2011 Season:We are excited to return 13 play-ers from last year, which is great considering we won the cham-
some new competition to bring the community of Fargo- Moor-head their third consecutive
championship ring!
On your dedication:I’m not your typical manager. I am here from 8:30am to 10:30pm regularly. I love being around the ball park, it becomes my life.

The Courtyard by Marriott has been a staple hotel and con-
vention center in Moorhead for years. This year they decided to take the design, functionality, and experience to the next level. When you walk into this newly redesigned hotel off I-94 in Moorhead, you immediately feel the New York or Chicago style contemporary at-mosphere. The front desks are situated as pods to allow an inter-active experience with the staff. And, if that’s not enough, guests can interact on their touchscreen TV monitors that act as a tech-nology driven concierge service.
The added “Bistro!” food and bev-erage area brings a delightful and
+ upgrade
fun drinking and dining experi-ence making the Courtyard more than just a hotel but a fun place to hang out! Their convention center called “The Moorhead Convention Center” has over 10,000 square feet that can be

Yup, comin’ off as kinda shallow there Helpless...it’s usually us men that get the bad rap for that...refreshing to see that you people are right up there too. For ONCE, I agree with Amanda, if you’re not serious about this cat move on and spare his dignity. If you’re into him, rid the house of junk food and talk about making a commitment TOGETHER for better health! It’s easy to let that “Freshman 20” segue into a more serious problem with weight management. We dudes, although incredibly righteous beings, CAN let ourselves go without realizing it..including yours truly, Jabba the Hut, Fat Bastard and Brando. Except me, I make it look GOOD. Dangle some rewards in front of him for good behavior, and in turn, he can dangle HIS goods in front of you. Everybody wins. Good luck, and for God’s sake...be gentle. We are special creatures, and you would wither and die without us.
est. Couple of things if this guy isn’t THE ONE and you just want some EYE CANDY for the summer then make up a good excuse and ditch him. I know that sounds harsh, but you’re wasting both his time and yours. If you really like him, then you need to have the LET’S GET HEALTHY TALK! Put it on you. I’m getting chunky, I need to eat better....let’s do this together. Sorry darling but, either way you will
have to be happy! GOOD LUCK!
