Patrick Longmire grew up in his dad's grocery store, Red's IGA in Spring Grove, MN.  Like a lot of high school guys he decided to pick up a guitar but it turns out it wasn't to look cool it was to fall in love with Texas Barbecue.  Several states, 2 kids and 1 supportive wife later, he's turning that love into Fat Pats Brewery and BBQ.  Maybe I should have called this one, What a Long Strange Trip It's Been.

It's All Happening at Around River City

This is part 1 of 2 conversations with Greg Parmeter and Nic Barilar from the UW-L Theater and Dance department. 

Their latest production is Dr, Faustus by Christopher Marlowe.  This is the original "sell your soul to the devil" story.  And just in time for Halloween.  We'll talk about UW-L's Theater and Dance program, Marlowe, the never ending timeliness of Faustus and possibly, what's your soul worth nowadays, anyway? 

Thanks for being part of the conversation.
