This year’s Penny Arcade Expo was different for me, as I wasn’t on the media list. I purchased tickets when they went on sale and was able to spend more time going to the show with my kids rather than working and trying to see everything for coverage. That said, there are some things I…
There is one Replacements album I still need to get. I can’t find it anywhere as it is apparently out of print to the point that even Amazon and other online retailers do not have it. Finding it used is a challenge to say the least. I am referring to Tim, the band’s major label…
Thursday night was one of my dream concerts. The Young Fresh Fellows opening up for The Replacements. A near perfect pairing, at least idealy.

Last weekend I was given tickets to attend Bumbershoot as my Father’s Day gift. I had a great time and was able to take August and Dela on Saturday then Kyle and I went on Monday. Sunday was all me, and it was fantastic. I have a lot to write about, as well as a…
Found an interesting CD a few days ago. My affection for The Replacements is certainly no secret. Those who know me also know I’m not above purchasing a soundtrack to a film that I have no intention of ever seeing just because it has one song by a favorite band. Put these two things together…
