2022 also starting with back-to-back winter concerts. Also again it’s mewithoutYou (setlist here). Tonight it’s in Cudahy, Wisconsin at the X-Ray Arcade which itself is an interesting place that looks like a tiny dive from outside but has a relatively large music area inside that I didn’t expect. Crowd was packed shoulder-to-shoulder and while it’s … Read more
Last stop on my short weekend trip is just south of Grant Park on the Oak Creek Parkway at a small man-made “waterfall” (spillway) called Mill Pond Spillway. Not much fanfare at this location – only one small historical sign entitled “Millstones from Fowle Mill” detailing how the millpond was created to power the grist … Read more
Friends of mine scored tickets for the Foo Fighters latest Concrete and Gold tour in Milwaukee at the new Fiserv Forum. Gotta say I didn’t expect to see such an impressive show – nearly 3 hours long and one of the best light displays I’ve ever seen. Setlist can be seen here. Don’t forget to … Read more
Estabrook Falls is another easy access waterfall in Southeastern Wisconsin. Located in the Milwaukee suburb of Shorewood, you can find these falls by walking down a short stairway near the Estabrook Beer Garden.

Starting at the far north end is Mill Pond Park which contains a spillway that was crafted to appear like a natural waterfall and is visible from the street. Directly south across … Read more

I don’t recall exact details, but I believe this only happened because someone else backed out last minute and I took their spot. My friend who organized the trip chartered a limo (first limo … Read more
Circa Survive’s Blue Sky Noise Tour. First time seeing Circa Survive and they didn’t disappoint with their amazing live presence, giant LED light boards, and confetti cannons. Crap quality pictures due to the primitive cell phone technology but was a great show. Lineup order: Codeseven, dredg, and Circa Survive. Concert Archives link here for the … Read more
Sharing some super old concert photos. These are terrible quality since I had a shitty LG CU920 phone at the time but it makes you appreciate what we have nowadays that much more. Murder By Death Couldn’t find a setlist, but you can see on this page an approximation based on their other recent shows. … Read more
Found some old photos – they are terrible quality, but figured I’d publish them to chronicle shows I’ve seen in the past and to laugh at how bad phones were back in the day. I was on a temporary/loaner LG CU920 phone which had a terrible camera. How the technology has changed for the better… … Read more
