Fire-don’t-works

I have been searching around for reviews of the Burlington, VT 4th of July celebration fireworks from the 3rd of July.  So far I haven’t found any, so I thought I would post my thoughts here, in case anyone was interested, like, the city of Burlington or something. My review can be summed up in […]

Nostalgia Is So Last Decade

When I moved from Baltimore to Vermont two years ago, it made me a little sad.  Sure, I was happy to be moving back to the state I grew up in, and I was excited to see family and old friends, but there was a lot that I liked about my old life and I […]

Cake: Live in Concert

For my birthday, which was two months ago, I received concert tickets to go see Cake, which was three nights ago.  When I was young and childless I used to go to concerts all the time, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen any sort of live concert that does not involve arias or […]

The Pump House

For those of you not in the know, The Pump House is an indoor water park located at the top of a mountain in the middle of a ski resort.  And it is awesome.  Vermont has a lot of things, ski resorts and mountains being most of them, but one thing Vermont does not generally […]

The Megabus Goes to Vermont

Guys!  I cannot tell you how excited I am about this!  The Megabus goes to Vermont!  One of the biggest obstacles in my way of becoming a full-time professional singer is that it is way too damn expensive to be a full time professional singer.  And a big part of that problem is getting back […]

Thanks to Obama We All Clean Up

Today, the president of the USofA, Mr. Barack Obama is coming to Vermont.  I know this because it is all over the news.  It only happens once in a great while that we have a presidential candidate in our state.  Sure, they make the obligatory quick stop, but they know that they are not going […]

FML 666

Having lived in Vermont for 9 months now (though gone for 4 of them) I decided that it was time to get my VT driver’s license and register my car.  And also the car registration was expiring on July 1st.  I went online and gathered all of the information I would need because I have […]

The Difference Between Vermonters and Californians

So I was checking the weather the other day, trying to decide if it was going to be warm enough to head over to the swimming hole, when an advertisement caught my eye.  Now, unlike other forms of ads, I have no problem with looking at some product placement if it means I get to […]

CSA: Vermont

Today is the first day of our CSA (which, if you are not in the know, stands for Crime Scene Agriculture).  Basically, in Vermont, most of the crimes involve produce, and when a criminal is arrested on a produce-related crime, the cops sell off the evidence at a deep discount to local residents.  At least […]

Driving From Vermont to Florida

Well, this is it folks: my last day in Vermont.  Tomorrow I am driving to Florida.  If I don’t post a blog on Monday, it means I didn’t make it.  I was originally going to do the drive over three days, but then I realized how not-crazy that would be, so now I am going […]
