Spend Some Time With Grandma
Every Friday evening before Husker home football games a small group of Cornhusker Marching Band members perform pep band tunes and fight songs at Misty’s Restaurant & Lounge (Havelock location) and Grandmother’s Restaurant. The bands perform two 30-minute sets at both locations, at 7:30pm and 8:30pm at Misty’s, and 10:00pm and 11:00pm at Grandmother’s G-Ma’s.
The Misty’s performances are known to attract groups of fans for the opposing team because tour groups bring them in. You’re also fairly likely to see minor celebrities at Misty’s; Lee Corso, Keith Jackson, and other sports celebrities have been known to eat there before the next day’s broadcast, for example. The G-Ma’s performances are much...wilder. The crowd is younger, with a heavy presence of current and former Cornhusker Marching Band members. Don’t expect to have much freedom of movement at either location; things get a little cozy during the sets.
If you have a chance sometime this season, drop by Misty’s or G-Ma’s, or both. In fact, The Missus and I are going to try to hit the 10:00pm performance at G-Ma’s tonight. I hope to get there around 9:00pm so I can wolf down a plate of Super Nachos after I finish reffing a soccer game out at Abbott Sports Complex.
See you there!
