If I told you that Efren Ramirez was showing up at Cans Bar and Canteen on Aug. 12 to make all your wildest dreams come true, would you know who I was talking about?
What about if I said, "It's Pedro."
Nothing?
"From 'Napoleon Dynamite.'"
There we go.
And yes, it true. Mr. Ramirez is making a special guest DJ appearance at Cans' two-year anniversary party on Saturday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. And if you come dressed as any "Napoleon" character -- Uncle Rico, Kip, any of them -- you get some pretty sweet drink specials, including 3 Olives vodka martini shots for $1, Pabst Blue Ribbon for $2 and $3 tall boys.
There's a $5 charity donation at the door, with proceeds benefiting Operation Uplink, an initiative that purchases phone cards for Milwaukee's overseas troops so that they can call home.

OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
