How can anyone from the dairyland WI go without a cheesesteak sandwich, the trademark of Philly? In typical tourist fashion we stopped at both Pat’s King of Steaks and Geno’s Steaks, both famous steak shops that are kiddie-corner from each other and […]
2014 Road Trip – The Rocky Steps
Wish we had enough time to see some art, but instead we visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art to act like crappy tourist scum and only see the Rocky Steps and Statue outside. Addrriiiiaaaaaaaannnn!!! Lat = 39.9646873 , Long = -75.1799545 — […]
2014 Road Trip – Mütter Museum
Dan had the idea to stop at the Mütter Museum which Wikipedia aptly describes as “a collection of medical oddities, anatomical and pathological specimens, wax models, and antique medical equipment”. Some very strange stuff here but like nothing you will see anywhere […]

The drive in to Philly the night before gave us a bit of snow/rain so we didn’t get much done that night. Woke up the next morning and took a walk through the historic downtown area. Saw the Liberty Bell. […]

2013 Detroit, MI Vacation
My friend Joe and I decided to spend Turkey Day on the road this year, and what better place to go than sunny Detroit, MI! Well, we didn’t go for the weather. Instead the main goal was to catch both […]
The Chariot @ Bottom Lounge – Oct 26, 2013
Final tour ever for the band The Chariot. Sad because I was just getting into them. Have to say their stage presence was probably better than any other band I have ever seen. Moshers were about to get tossed by […]
Desaparecidos @ Metro – Oct 25, 2013
The Metro isn’t my favorite venue thanks to it’s cramped quarters but it was definitely worth shoe-horning myself inside to see Desaparecidos. Crowd was nuts, sound was excellent (not overdone like it usually is). Couldn’t really move from the same […]
