This town never ceases to amaze me.
Just when I think it can’t get any more awesome around here, one local bar goes and books an interdimensional wizard (interest=piqued), and another local bar has started a regular Wii Bowling League.
Those things, and a lot more awesome things from Local540 are below. Enjoy.
