You would think that with Boston Calling kicking off today that I’d have my fill of live music for the month- but that is rarely the case when it comes to me. I jump at the chance to see my favorite acts whenever they’re performing within a reasonable traveling distance (or not. I’ve definitely flown […]
With Boston Calling just a couple of days away, and yours truly heading there to work, mingle, dance (and eat/drink) during sets from Foo Fighters, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alanis Morissette and Queens of the Stone Age- I’m strictly focusing on packing properly, obtaining my media pass with as little stress as possible, and setting reminders […]
The coming week(s) ahead are going to be busy ones for sure. In-between working my full time job, I’m also going to be catching some live music this week, attending Boston Calling on behalf of indie617 and then picking up a friend who is flying in from Italy for what I’m hoping will be a […]

This place has always been dear to my heart for nearly twenty years now- largely […]
Although I’m only heading to Southern California for a few days, I’ve been packing/unpacking/re-packing for the past 24 hours while I try to stuff the perfect beachwear, casual wear, night out accessories, etc. into one tiny suitcase. I have so many adventures planned over the weekend ahead- and I want to look my best for […]
