While on our trip we caught Chiodos at the Chameleon Club playing on the Launch Music Conference Festival 2014. Crappy pictures, hard to get beers, but still a good show. Lat = 40.0415459 , Long = -76.3088226 — Show at Google Maps
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 are always super busy. Learned how to order and got both a “wiz wit” and … Read more
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 — Show at Google Maps
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 else. Lat = 39.9532013 , Long = -75.1766357 — Show at Google Maps
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. We also took the Constitutional Walking Tour which was guided by a very knowledgeable guy … Read more
My company closed down in March and I had some time off before starting a new position so I decided to take a 4 day whirlwind road trip with my friend Dan. Our first stop was in Cleveland to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We spent hours here and didn’t even have … Read more
Stopped at Fat Head’s Brewery and Tap House for food & drinks. Was not disappointed. If you are ever in this area, check it out for sure. Lat = 41.3869934 , Long = -81.8313217 — Show at Google Maps
Work decided to send me out to Nebraska to help decommission IT gear from the Columbus plant. Left Chicago after being stuck for hours in the terminal thanks to near record low wind chills & temps (-20°F to -50°F ranges), but got in to Omaha and temps went up into the 50’s that week. Funny … Read more
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 a Redwings and Packers game in 2 days time. Drove out to decent weather, but … Read more
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 security (rules and stuff), then the band stopped playing. Josh Scogin, the lead singer, nicely … Read more
