I love grilling season. It’s cooking the way it’s meant to be done, with direct heat and flames kissing succulent meats, fish and poultry, as it was thousands of years ago…minus of course the metal grill and spatula. The sounds of outdoor picnics and cooking over an open flame are music to my ears each [...]
02.25Inauguration
I arrived down in Washington D.C the saturday before the inauguration with a few friends. We left a few days early to beat traffic and also because a few of us wanted to get some film footage of the weekends festivities. I went to the American University in Washington from 1999 and 2003 and i [...]

I have spent the better part of the last two months volunteering for the Obama Campaign for Change in center city Philadelphia. What i saw during that time was nothing short of the most remarkable and awe inspiring movement of energy and hope in my lifetime. People of all ages, races, religions, status [...]
Last weekend marked the inaugural Tatanka Music and Arts Festival in Boulder, Colorado. Held at the Boulder Reservoir, a public space spanning 700 acres, Tatanka offered two days of jammin’ tunes and funky displays of both fine art and craftwork.
I arrived on Sunday morning to the sounds of the The Unknown Americans, a five-piece rockabilly [...]

Prepare to be schooled. Legitimately.
On the second Tuesday in November, history will be made. America will have elected either its first African American president, more than 140 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, or the first woman vice president, nearly 90 years following the ratification of the bill that gave U.S. women the right [...]
I don’t have enough time or energy to express how tired, to the bone tired, of this election I am, and how many weeks do we have to go? Does anyone else hate listening to these horrid ads that say nothing? And the equally predictable and maddening responses to the ads? I [...]
The last six weeks i have been traveling all over the northeast, midwest and parts of Canada as I’ve been wedding hopping as a single bachelor. I am in my late twenties and have been fully entrenched in the wedding season of my life for the last two years. Weddings present all of [...]
One of my favorite bands, Diet Kong, will be rocking the shit out of Philly tonight. The NYC-based (and newly-reorganized) duo will be performing at Doc Watson’s (11th between Walnut & Locust) tonight at 10pm. This band first caught my attention as a three-piece outfit about a year ago at the now-defunct Grape [...]
Title of the post get your attention? I think that’s kind of the point - Head is one of my favorite bands in the Philly local rock scene. Technically, Head never went anywhere… but they’ve been going through line-up changes, taking some time in the studio, working their asses off at their day jobs so [...]
