A fan just took the time to write the following on our Facebook page, but we wanted to make sure you all got a chance to read it. This is why we do what we do. Tuesday June 17, 2014 8 p.m. GUYS ON ICE show in Door County Olivia who is 8 yr. tells her friend Syndney 8, that she is going to love this show. O saw it in Madison when she was 5 or 6 so she informed S that it is real funny and the music is great, too bad Grandma did not remember to bring her GOI CD so we could listen to it on the way up. O said with a giggle one of her favorite songs was the zipper song. Grandma says, you mean roota toot toot in my snowmobile suit? Oh yeah, then they proceeded to sing that over and over again. The play begins and first thing O says is thats not Ernie the Moocher! Later we all decided we liked this guy as well. S is a quick study, by the end of the play she knew the words to roota toot toot and we heard it over and over for the next 2 days. We all thoroughly enjoyed the play even though some of us have seen it many times. At the end, after the stage manager made the pitch for donations for play development and we all stood, when Grandpa reached for his wallet 2 little hands came up for their dollar to put in the bucket. Next day we do Door County properly, swimming, the ferry, Wilsons for ice cream etc and of course we buy t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts. One fluorescent green and one fluorescent orange sweatshirt, of course with DOOR COUNTY across the front. When the weather looks okay we buy tickets for the early show PACKER FANS FROM OUTERSPACE. It was so exciting and of course Grandma and the girls really wanted to see the second show too but someone thought it would be too much and I guess he was right, even with cushions it was hard sitting that long on those benches 2 nights in a row. We gotta wear our new sweatshirts to the play, but no, we cant wear the stinky mosquito repellant bands with them on. When we are seated O asks Grandma, did you see Lloyd is here tonight? Grandma replies, yes, he said hi to me when I walked up over there Big eyed, he did? What did you say? I said hi. Well, I saw him go behind the stage, we could go back there and get his autograph Granma you got a Sharpie in your purse? No and you are not going back there, they are getting ready for the show. S points at his picture in the playbill and says, it says here his name is Jeff? So I explain that is his real name, Lloyd was his stage name for the play last night. Okay, S says, he can sign his real name on this arm and Lloyd on the other one. Next time we come to Door County we are bringing a Sharpie. We thoroughly enjoyed this play, although afterward the girls really laughed when I told them what the slang for Keister meant. Also, at one point, when O looked at me blank like, I had to whisper to her that Bart Starr was a famous Packer, then they got the joke. Near the end of the play S realized that the young lady that played the Keister daughter, was in an opera that came to their school in Poynette. I rode the golf cart down to the parking lot and when we got there the girls came running up screeching and holding their arms. I get off the cart and ask are you okay and they are yelling, he touched me right here! OMIG who? Lloyd he touched me right here and I am not washing this shirt ever! No, they did not ask for an autograph, Lloyd asked them if they were buying candy with their dollars and they said no it was going in the bucket. By the time they got to the car they had unzipped and folded the shirts so the touch did not wear off. When we got back to our room the folded shirts were put in the suitcases and not worn again. Mr. Herbst, thank you. You made their special time even more special and our trip was a total success.
