My spring break adventures continued Tuesday night with a trip down south, all the way to Brooklyn to see Sami Braman with openers the Stephanae, aka Stephanie Coleman and Stephanie Jenkins. Stephanae is the proper form of the plural in Gordonese, my native tongue. I love both Stephanae individually but have never seen them perform […]
Category: Chamber Folk
I’m on a run of great music, last night it was Aoife O’Donovan, Bruce Springsteen, and Hawktail. That Springsteen guy wasn’t there but he must be fairly good as Aoife did a cover version of his album Nebraska. The songwriting was good. I think he might have a future. It’s so nice of Aoife to […]
I told my therapist something that turned out to not be true. I told her that I’d blog right after our session, before I catch up on the TV I’ve missed or eating, because I’m trying to get back in the habit and I want My Gentle Readers to know how important they are to […]
Dateline BoltBus to Philadelphia. The Bolt Bus free Wi-Fi is officially useless. I’m hoping to get enough out of it to be able to post this. As for everything else online I’ll use my phone. Yesterday’s adventure was seeing Darlingside at the Irvington Town Hall Theater as part of the Common Ground Coffeehouse series curated […]
I had good reasons to start writing this late. I was out late, I slept late, I had to watch part one of Crisis on Infinite Earths, then the aftershow, then I cleaned out the fridge and took a shower. That took me to 40 minutes ago. I have no excuse for not writing then. […]
Fiddle Camp Friends
I had another very good day yesterday; it’s hard to meet dinner with a great friend and hearing great music. There were only two flies in the ointment, I was a half hour late meeting the friend and there were no doughnuts with the music. Those amount to rounding errors. The dinner was with Katherine. […]
I missed writing yesterday so now I have a lot to catch up on; one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, an idiot story, and the end of the world. See what happens when you miss a day? Friday night I went to see Hawktail. This was my first time seeing them as […]
Their Band
Last night I went to see Our Band at Barbès (bar-bez’). My original plan was to have dinner at Mile End Deli, the shopping at Trader Joe’s then the show. I left the house late and the train was slow. I ended up going straight to Barbès and got there just a few minutes before […]
TAARKA!
Last night’s adventures started late, I went to see TAARKA do a 10 PM show at Pete’s Candy Store. That’s in Williamsburg so I had to leave considerably before then. I guess I should point out that Pete’s Candy Story is not a Candy Store; it’s a bar with a dedicated room in the back […]
I’m sleepy, have a cold, and I’m cold. I feel like crawling back into bed and getting under the covers. Why am I not doing that? I did write yesterday, so I owe you a blog. My Gentle Readers are more important than my creature comforts. I’m a saint, the patron saint of bloggers. Once […]
