TLC and the End of Civilization
Here are eight of the things I’ve learned since back in the day of Trading Spaces when your neighbors could turn your outdated living room into a stage set with a can of paint, some drapes and a handful of items from the Props Department. 1. What Not to Wear- A mom bob and […]
Awolnation, Imagine Dragons, Zeale Heat Up Water Street Music Hall
This was my first venture out to Water Street Music Hall in Rochester. They have had some great acts in the past so I’ll have to keep an eye out now that I know how easy it is to get to. Seriously. I live in the eastern Buffalo burbs and it was an hour door […]

Slop will drive him bonkers if he is a foodie. I’m super impressed with Jen. She’s from Kitty. The actual band Kitty. Shane is […]
