I've become a huge fan of funkilicious band Here Come The Mummies over the past few years. The group of mummies – or foul smelling, well-endowed and manly tribe, as they describe themselves – are one of the most entertaining live bands I've seen.
The men, I mean 3,500-year-old mummies, were in town for the Wisconsin State Fair and I got the chance to sit down – very cozily I must say – with them prior to one of their shows about the fair, Lebowski Festival in Cathedral Square Park and more.
There are plenty of questions one would want to ask these historic creatures upon meeting them. How did they become mummies? What do they like best about Wisconsin? I really just wanted to scream out who are you!?!?
Instead we chatted on their love of the ladies and cheese, white Russians and "The Big Lebowksi." And I could have kept chatting all night.
What did I learn about this elusive band who keeps their identities a secret? Watch to find out – and don't miss them at Lebowski Festival Friday night!
Carolynn Buser is one of Milwaukee's loudest and most adamant cheerleaders (don't dare try to disagree). She's the primary voice behind much of OnMilwaukee's social media and content direction, and apologizes in advance if she can be too sarcastic at times.
What else? She's a wine lover, closet trashy novel reader, beauty supplies addict and devourer of cheese (shocker for a Wisconsin born and bred girl, right?). She's also a bit of a foodie, which is a word most of you hate, we know. She works as hard as she plays - and that includes in the gym! So, you've probably seen her at one of the area's newest restaurant openings (and yes, she will share her opinions good or bad) or enjoying a cold one at a local pub.
All in all, Carolynn's a believer in positive thinking and will do her best to smack down your negative ones while writing about her city, her loves, quests and more.
