2009 Carp Calendar Cutie Contest - Week 10

July 24th, 2008, Tailgates on the west side of Eau Claire, Wisconsin was the scene for Week 10 of this year's Carp Calendar Cutie Contest. With only two more contests to follow this one, it seemed like something was lacking. The contestant turnout wasn't the lowest of the year, but the crowd didn't seem as into the competition as they had been in previous weeks. We also believe that many of the other girls that had competed on previous nights would have had a very good chance of winning the competition this evening.

I guess this is our pitch to get some more girls out for tonight's Carp Calendar Cutie Contest at Moke's Grill & Bar in the Lake Hallie located area at 3077 County Highway OO, just north of Eau Claire and just south of Chippewa Falls. If you thought you should have won on a previous night then you need to come back and give the contest another shot - the crowd wants you. And if you can't make it out tonight then definitely show up next week for the last Carp Calendar Cutie Contest of the year at Whiskey Dicks.

Ok now back to last Thursday's contest out at Tailgates. Lighting was pretty low this evening so please excuse the video footage if it gets a little too dark for ya!

Follow this link for the Official Rules if you're interested in competing for the last two spots on the 2009 Carp Calendar. There are only two opportunities left to become a Carp Calendar Cutie this year.

We'll leave off with a few more pictures of Erin Guzman, Miss October 2009:


This year's Carp Calendar Cutie Contest is sponsored by 99.9 The Carp, Miller Light, and Fall Creek Portrait Design. The Carp DJs, Al Shannon, Cooper & Sleaze, were again on hand to take care of the contest's logistics.

Note: We've decided to take out the normal rating system for contests such as this one since all of the information is pretty much skewed because of the nature of the contest. As usual, video footage and pics courtesy of Eau Claire Bars - the Blog.

Double Days | Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Last Friday Night we decided to make another trip out to Double Days which is located at 3020 London Road to have a few drinks with some of the guys from Orestus. It has been quite a while since the last time we reviewed Double Days and so we decided to take some numbers and put another review out there. Right around 10:45pm we found the Sausage Factor to be only 1.29 with 49 guys and 38 girls in the place, though none of them happened to be on the dance floor yet. The Attractiveness Rating weighed in pretty high at an 8/10, and Cooper from "99.9 The Carp" was on hand as one of the DJs for the evening playing some music with a Hip Hop Vibe.

The layout for Double Days hadn't really changed since the last time we were there, but there had definitely been a nice face-lift performed on the place. The normal painted walls had been replaced with some nice wood trimming and most of the older TVs had been taken out in favor of some nice new flat screens. There were still around 9 video machines, 8 TVs playing sports and news, 5 dart boards, a couple scratch card machines, and 1 pool table all in the main bar. We again asked how the dartboards were at Double Days and received the thumbs up sign as we were told that the dartboards were hardly ever unused. We would have to agree with that assessment since almost every time we've been here they have been packed with dart players.


The dance floor is still located right in front of the DJ area and though it remained unused for about 30 minutes after our arrival, by midnight it was pretty packed. The dance crowd was mostly girls but a few guys trickled in here an there. In the past it has been pretty normal to see a lot of action on the dance floor at Double Days on Friday and Saturday nights. If you like to dance to Hip Hop and dance music you may want to check this place out on the weekend.



The side room, or "The Back Pool Room" as we've labeled it before, still has its own separate feel. Here you will find 4 pool tables and a few regular tables to sit at. The music in this room was a mix of rock and metal. The pool room is right next to the restrooms so we'll chat about those next. I'm not sure about the women's restroom, but the men's restroom has two TVs set above the urinals for the viewing pleasure of those gentlemen taking care of their business. But... I've never seen these TVs on, so I'm not sure what they are there for. The restrooms were stocked well this evening and there's still this one toilet that sits awkwardly in one corner without a seat or anything. We think it's meant to be another urinal or something.


The second set of readings came after a pitcher of Michelob Golden Draft Light and the new head count weighed in at 49 men to the 38 women with the ratio remaining the same at a Sausage Factor of 1.29, not bad at all. The Attractiveness Rating however would slip somewhat to midway between 6 and 7/10.

As the evening died down so did the action on the dance floor. At around 1am or so the dance floor emptied and people began to move on to other venues. We had a great time this evening and would have to give the experience a 4/5 Beers. The Sausage Factor remained the same most of the night at a 1.29 and the Attractiveness Rating averaged out to a respectable 7/10. We've always liked the bartenders at Double Days, they are very sociable and can mix pretty much anything you are looking for. The last time we were in I believe one of our party members delighted himself with a Mountain Dew, Red Bull, and Vodka concoction thrown all together in one big pitcher. Tasty to say the least!

Beer Rating: 4/5
Sausage Factor: 1.29
Attractiveness Rating: 7/10

Drowning Pool, Adema, No Loving Place, Orestus

Who says you can't rock it out on a Wednesday night?! Well no one can say that anymore because last night was an explosive evening of hard rock with some excellent local talent and great national acts all together on one stage at The Stones Throw in downtown Eau Claire, Wisconsin! Drowning Pool, Adema, No Loving Place, and Orestus all on one night, all on one stage for a hard-rocking feverish night of loud music and great drinks.

We tried to show up early this evening, but were delayed enroute and found a huge line when we arrived. By the time we were able to get ourselves situated upstairs on the mezzanine at around 8pm the place was already totally packed. Tonight's show would definitely be standing room only!



In between sets we were able to speak with some of the guys that head up the Northwoods Rock Rally. These guys were having a great time and some of the girls we spoke to mentioned that the party bus drinking activities started as early as 1pm for most of those on the bus! Wow! The next time there's an activity like this in the Chippewa Valley Area you might want to check out the Northwoods Rock Rally Party Bus!

Band Notes:

Orestus led the night off with some hardcore rock - we got there as their set was winding down and had just enough time to enjoy a beer as they finished up.



No Loving Place was able to put in an extended set since Adema's bus was having Wisconsin weather issues. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the extra music NLP was able to throw at it.




Despite having some weather issues with the bus, Adema was able to come in out of the cold and rock some new music off their latest album "Kill the Headlights".







Drowning Pool finished the night out with some "Old School Drowning Pool" as lead singer Ryan McCombs would call it. A tribute to the soldiers fighting in Iraq as well as those that have already come home or have served in the past - these hard-hitting, fist-raising rock songs would fill The Stones Throw with a fever and angst that drove out the cold and created a sweat on everyone in the place!







Hats off to the guys down at The Stones Throw for putting together another excellent evening of hard rocking music with some national headlining bands. Great job guys!
