Show Photos: Thursday at Mission Creek
The saga continues…the town is both more weary and more energetic than it has been since, well, last year’s Mission Creek. I keep bumping into the same folks at all the different venues, and we have a good laugh about how we are all very tired, yet totally unwilling to surrender before the last band […]
Show Photos: Wednesday at Mission Creek
It is officially night 5 of Mission Creek and I’ve been on a tear all over town since the pre-show monday. I’ve tried to catch as many acts as my short legs will get me to in time. I’ve got a lot of photos to throw your way, but let’s do this in bite-sized chunks. […]
Show Photos: Mission Creek day one
As I write this, it’s after 2:00 a.m. and I’m finally home after a heart-pounding night listening to some fantastic acts and dancing with a camera in my hand. Tonight was only supposed to be the kickoff to the festival, and it was wildly good, so I can’t wait to see how much better it […]

I will say this: Les Dames du Burlesque and the IC Kings put on an eye-popping, swoon-inducing, show filled with humor, lust […]
2012: The Year in Photos
Now that the ball has dropped and a great many of us are beginning 2013 nursing hard-earned hangovers, it’s time to pause for a moment and reflect on the year we’ve just left in the dust, um, I mean snow. 2012 was a mixed bag of pleasure and pain in our fair city as the […]
Show Videos: The Mill’s Annual Christmas Party – 12/18/12
I have mixed feelings about the holidays. I get a little Grinchy this time of year even though there are many things around Christmastime that still make me happy. Like paper chains, twinkle lights and carols. Especially carols. As a result, the last few years I’ve been in happy attendance at the Mill’s Christmas Show. Up until […]
Show Photos: Good Habits Cassette Release Party – 12/14/12
Ugh! I am such a procrastinator and the week is already slipping away from me. Despite my faults, I didn’t want to pass up an opportunity to share some photos and details from Good Habits’ Cassette Release show last week. Yes, folks, bands still release albums on cassettes…really good albums, too. Last Friday at Gabe’s, […]
