UFC 164 and Joe Rogan Come To BMO Harris Bradley Center In 2013

To compliment the UFC 164 event at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on August 31st, color-commentator and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan will perform at the Pabst on the 30th. The 46 year-old returns to Milwaukee after last appearing at the Pabst in 2011.

Rogan's stop in the city was made possible by his slot to play host at the UFC event the next day. His career began with the mixed martial arts league as an interviewer in 1997. From there, Rogan has become one of the most widely recognized personalities on the UFC circuit as lead color-commentator.

His brand of blunt and opinionated stand-up has also become popular world-wide, attracting thousands of fans to his high-profile performances. Rogan has most recently taken his act to new mediums. Apple iTunes named his multi-topic podcast one of the best in their library, and users regularly rate the show in the top-ten.

The Pabst Theater is located in downtown Milwaukee on the corner of Water and Wells. Street parking is ample and free, though should spots fill-up, the venue offers discounted lot-prices at the CPS parking structure on Wells and Broadway.

Bernie Brewer Will Be 40 Years Old This Weekend | Party With Bernie At Miller Park

The Brewers are inviting fans to enjoy their version of Weekend at Bernie's starting on August 16^th. In honor of the team's famed mascot's 40^th birthday, Miller Park will play host to the Birthday Weekend at Bernie the Brewer's celebration through Sunday, August 18^th. Patrons can enjoy a number of family friendly attractions exclusive to the event in addition to all of the regular favorites at the ballpark, as well as a three-game home-stand for the Brewers against the Reds.

Bernie the Brewer made his first official appearance in 1973. Modeled after the eccentric Milt Mason, an early fan of the Brewers who sat atop the team's scoreboard for 40 days in 1970 to attract 40,000 people to an August game against the Indians, Bernie has been a staple-sight for Brewers fans for two generations. A nine-year hiatus starting in the mid-80s marks the only time the mascot has spent in retirement.

Southwest Airlines in the premier sponsor of the Birthday Weekend at Bernie's. The airline plans to provide thousands of dollars in free give-a-ways over the three days, including beer cozies and plane tickets.

Saturday, August 17^th is slated as the official birth day for Bernie in 2013. Free round-trip domestic tickets will be announced during every inning of the game that night, and a special singing of Happy Birthday will take place.

Another chorus of Happy Birthday will be held Sunday during Bernie's Party on the Plaza. The Klements Racing Sausages will be on-hand for the party, as will other mascots from Milwaukee sports teams.

Fans that can't make it to the three-day event still have a chance to show their appreciation for Bernie's four decades of service. A public card is set up on Miller Park's field level for fans to sign, and Bernie's popular Twitter account is already a-buzz with birthday wishes and photos. The Milwaukee Brewers official website is even taking part in the fun, offering fans a virtual mustache to place on an uploaded photo that they can then share on Integra or Twitter.
