Well now that I have officially moved and settled in (ie unpacked enough things) I have been going out again. Really enjoyed seeing the X reunion show with Billy Zoom back on guitars. Then the Old Haunts at a moved show to Surly Girl were a surprise one night. And as always, the Dirtbombs put on an amazing show. The opening band the Terrible Twos...

Well still moving, wanted a month overlap since it has been some time since I moved-7 years. Well I knew the first Saturday would be screwed because of Gallery Hop in my neighborhood-Short North. But yesterday, that Saturday was just as bad since a marathon was going on and all my friend and I wanted to do was get his van with my stuff across...

Well, I got the keys to my new place April 1st and gave my landlord my 30 day notice. So I have a month to move which helps, even if floating two rents this month plus a deposit was really painful on the old finances. Still in the Short North, but back on the Victorian Village side and no longer on High Street after a...

Well, I have been a little down just because I have to move. The one problem living in the Short North is you never know when your landlord is going to decide to really raise the rent. I knew it would happen sooner or later, it just sucks that after seven years, I have to go through the whole moving ritual again that I had...

Well the snow outside is sure making the Short North look dead for a change on a Saturday. I braved the snow earlier to go meet some people for breakfast since I figured I could be one of the few to actually be able to make it with the snow. Reminds me of the snow I would get back in my old stomping grounds of...

Christmas, just another day for me since family lives 3+ hours away and schedules odds family times due to large and extended family, so I stayed here. Probably best, because since my mother died, my older sister has assumed the head matriach role of the immediate family and has declared judge/jury/excecutionor on me due to my "lifestyle"(had a roommate who was a guy and and...

Well more for the ladies, many of the new places opening up in The Short North lately have been women's clothing stores. Just below my place is the latest, The Emperor's Newest Clothes, which many seem to really like. This added to the nearby Rowe and and Ivy Hill that have been around a little longer. It used to be more retail items type stores,...

I finished my "Roctober" with the Black Swans CD release at Surly Girl. Saw the Ravonettes (?sp) at the Basement which I really enjoyed pluse Nada Surf(too many people), and the Shout Out Louds who do the Cure proud. I will be out of town in Michigan, but more in the rural areas, so unable to see the Michigan SG members, but maybe another time...

Well time for an update. Just haven't felt much like writing since I have been spending most of my time going out rather than online, I just look always online because I leave my PC on. I agree with the local free paper Columbus Alive that October is really Rocktober for our city. There is just so many different options each night, with bands leading...

Well trying to adjust to no more Little Brothers for concerts, but Ben from Little Brothers has been doing some shows recently at the Ravari Room. I saw the Heartless Bastards a while back, which was a switch for that place. Last weekend I saw Jucifer play, and surprisingly, it wasn't that loud of a show for them considering all the speakers always on the...

Well the Labor Day Holiday is over and I survived it. It actually started Thursday for me going to both Bodega and Press Grill. Friday was Bodega and Skullys for Red Dahlia, running into followed by the Arch Technicolor lighting for Gallery Hop Saturday complete with dancers and stilt walkers parading down High Street. Sunday and Monday was spent at the Greek Festival with Skullys...

Well I went to the CD101 Low Dough show Saturday and really expected more people to be there. I don't know if the recent humidity spooked people, even though it wasn't really that bad that day. The Silversun Pickups were good, but still prefered the time I saw them at Little Brothers. Didn't get what a lot of people liked about The Cliks. As usual...
