From The Archives: Maryland Renaissance Festival 2008

February 21st, 2010 · Comments · Art, Travel

From The Archives: Stribling Orchard

August 27th, 2009 · Comments · Travel, Vlog

Allow me to set the stage. It’s October 2008. The air is crisp and cool. Knit caps? Necessary. Apples were abundant and pumpkins needed picking. A trip to Stribling Orchard was in demand. Again – I recommend – if you’re in DC and tired of concrete make one of these trips out of the city. [...]

Kid Sister @ Speakeasy: SXSW 2009

March 23rd, 2009 · Comments · Music, SXSW, Travel

@FierceKitty plucked Jonny Goldstein and I from our hotel room to escort her to the Speakeasy for a show featuring Datarock and Kid Sister. I didn’t know what to expect as I hadn’t heard either, but Kid Sister blew the top off the place. A breif interlude of Jump Around (it was Saint Patty’s Day) [...]

New London, CT

July 5th, 2008 · Comments · Travel, Vlog

Taking off from New London, CT. I love these old port towns with their ferries and freighters, tug boats and trawlers. Once whalers were made in these towns, tall wooden whaling ships. Now container cranes wait for their cargo in the stillness of morning. Families challenge the chill, fishing on the beach wearing Boston jerseys [...]

The Long Ride Home

July 5th, 2008 · Comments · Misc. Links, Travel, Vlog

And so our trip is in its final hours as we have begun our journey home. It is overcast and chilly, a nice break from the humidity of days prior. Everything looks very green from the windows of the train, a layer of fog laying over the backdrop of hills. We cut the mist as [...]
