Thank You ABC
I find it ironic that on the same night that ABC is about to air a White House exclusive promo, something which I think borders on a wrong-headed move (understandable, predictable, but still wrong-headed), I am about to praise them for something completely different. The fact that I am about to praise ABC […]

Ceili Rain at Joyful Noise III
Over a year ago, I wrote a post entitled Everybody Clap for Everybody. The second paragraph explains how we came to discover Ceili Rain, in September 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11. We’ve been huge fans ever since, but have never had the opportunity, and therefore the pleasure (and privilege) of seeing them […]

Indigo Girls at Lewis Ginter
When I first heard the Indigo Girls sing Closer to Fine, in 1989, I ran out and bought the CD right away. I didn’t regret it, as there are many other great songs on the CD as well. If you read my earlier post today about Eddie From Ohio, then you know that […]

Eddie From Ohio at Innsbrook After Hours
On Wednesday (June 10th) four of us spent the evening at an outdoor concert at Innsbrook After Hours. The title of this post is totally out of character with my other music posts. I almost always put only the headliner in the title, and cover the opening act(s) after covering the headliner. Eddie […]

Wes and Hadar’s Excellent Adventure
Many more people participated in one or more of the activities I’m about to list. Only Wes and I enjoyed every single one of them, hence the accurate title. 🙂 Wes flew up on Thursday morning and I picked him up at Newark Airport. We headed straight to the city and met Lois […]

Girlyman at Highline Ballroom

Sweet Bitters CD Release Party
We’ve seen Sweet Bitters live three times now (including last night). The first time we saw them was just over a year ago at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn. I covered that evening in this post. Seven months later we saw them perform at Googie’s, covered in this post. As noted in that […]

No GLEE Here
Now that the regular TV season is over, I’m a little more attuned to potential new shows to watch, particularly during the summer. I really like Jane Lynch a lot, in particular her turns on Two and Half Men (one of my favorite comedies). So, when I saw a commercial for a new […]

PeopleBrowsr Boggles the Mind
Twitter is a phenomenon. It’s one of the hottest topics in the media now, not just the tech media. Most non-Twitterers roll their eyes when someone tries to explain what they’re missing. Many first-time users abandon it pretty quickly too. I’ve been using Twitter consistently for over two years. In my opinion, there […]
