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
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 spot in the back but still a good time. Setlist here. Afterwards we made our … Read more
Caught another Murder By Death show, this time at Durty Nellies. As usual they were spot on and ran through most of the favorites and new songs alike. Solid show. Setlist here. Lat = 42.1136513 , Long = -88.0491333 — Show at Google Maps
On our last day we took a ferry out to Ward’s Island and had some beers at the Island Cafe. Super low key, we were just about the only people out here. Great view of the city looking over the Inner Harbour. Lat = 43.6320152 , Long = -79.3554306 — Show at Google Maps
Our friend Leonidas said we should grab a beer at the Amsterdam BrewHouse and he wasn’t wrong. Beers, great food, cool merch, and a lakefront view with perfect weather? This was probably one of the top places we visited and would definitely go back again. Lat = 43.6378975 , Long = -79.3848648 — Show at … Read more
