Well it's August already, of course late June and early July were busy with Comfest, Tom Waits, Here Comes Your Weekend Blowout and DooDah Parade. Mostly local shows and I picked to go to She & Him on Monday since I didn't think I could get off work early enough to go to Radiohead in Cleveland. The next show I would like to go to...

Well, another Comfest is upon us and I still live close to Goodale Park so you will see me around alot, but sometimes escaping to my air conditioned place. But most times I will be at the Off Ramp stage except Saturday night when I go to see Tom Waits at the Ohio Theatre.

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...
