Accidents Will Happen

On the night of July 5th, 2009 while performing at Milwaukee's Summerfest, Elvis Costello dedicated a rousing rendition of his hit tune Accidents Will Happen to his long time fan and occasional lyrical advisor, Brian Hinshaw. That morning, Hinshaw had shattered his femur during a run in with a bull moose in the wilds of Northern Minnesota. He avoided further injury by taking shelter in the hollow of a massive white pine and fending off the aggresive beast with his new Shakespere fishing pole oufitted with 12 pound test line.



Brian was lucky to escape with his life and is now resting comfortably back at his comfortable Victorian mansion on Milwaukee's hip and happening East Side. He noted that the injury may actually be a blessing in disguise as it will give him more time to concentrate on beer.

...and apparently, more time for cultivating crazy-ass hair and sparking mad google-eyes.

Thanks for your company and thanks for the beer.

Happy birthday to Rachel.

Brian, I knew you at Drake and I thought you died. Glad you're still around.
