When people ask what I was doing during the blizzard of 2009 (Saturday, Dec. 19), I will have to say at a concert of course. I mean, when the state of NJ gets a whopping 2 feet of snow and high winds, why wouldn’t I be out and about gallivanting? So we put on our…
In keeping with J’s motto—will travel anywhere for a concert—J and I continued from Mohegan Sun to Syracuse, NY, for a Phish show. Cause, you know, we were already on the road. And the stupid Phish lottery he entered gave him front row tickets in an arena of 7,000 people where they haven’t played since…
While we’re experiencing a real Indian summer here in NH (of course the 50-degree temps will probably come to an end very soon), it was only fitting that we saw Jimmy Buffet Saturday. With my winning tickets from the casino last weekend! I must say, out of the 3 Buffet concerts I’ve now been too,…
So those are the words I hear all the time when I (J) attend Phish or Grateful Dead concerts. In case you didn’t know by now, I’m a big fan of music. Well, Phish has been on what they call a hiatus for a couple of years and last summer they decided to get back…
I wasn’t sure if my camera would work, so I only took limited photos. I will try my best to keep you entertained as I recap our trip to NJ! Wednesday, after dressing like Sandy & Danny for J’s senior Halloween lunch (the old bitties said we looked more like Elvis and his groupie), we…
Today we drove to New York for a concert. Like they did 40 years ago. But it wasn’t Woodstock. Not even close. We hit 2 more Vermont breweries on the way. Maple Leaf Malt & Brewing Co. in Wilmington and Madison Brewing Co. in Bennington. Met a man who just opened a bakery, so we…
Before the invasion of the children this past weekend, J and I saw our favorite band, Carbon Leaf, in concert at Tupelo Music Hall in Londonderry (it’s an awesome, intimate setting). One of my favorite songs is the namesake for this blog! Live a life less ordinary Live a life extraordinary with me Live a…
We’re still on our quest to hit all the breweries in VT, but we also don’t want to miss the ones in NH. So this weekend, we ventured to Keene to the Elm City Brewery. The main reason we went to Keene, though, was to see a jam band Railroad Earth in concert. The lead…
If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been blogging lately. I’ve definitely had the blues and there’s a lot of crap going on right now that I don’t feel like broadcasting across the blogosphere. In fact, I think the past week was one of the worst weeks in my life (1). But I will say, last…
J is one my most faithful readers of the blog and he has been asking me to do my post on Farm Aid ever since we got home at 3am Sunday morning. So here goes. Farmers are outstanding in their field. No really, people, they are. So support them. (PS SILAdventure, I got about 8…
… tailgating at a Bruce Springsteen concert! So J and I went to see the Boss Saturday evening in Mass at Gillette Stadium (where the Patriots play) with Uncle SlickG, who drove up from Jersey for the show. We were tailgating for a good 3-4 hours, watching the guys across from us get carded at…
