Salim Nourallah and the Treefort 5 at The Foundry
I had been meaning to see Salim and the Treefort 5 again for a while. I saw them last fall and was really impressed and decided that the next time I had the chance I would definitely go to one of their shows. Well I lucked out last night. After a busy day of sending out Continue reading

Passports, The Big D, and Me
I’ve always wanted to go to Europe – be a self proclaimed Jet-Setter! I’ve dreamed of sipping lattes in Paris, riding gondolas in Venice, viewing Big Ben in England… Of course, before all those glamorous hypothetical situations could occur, I needed to get my passport.
