I had the pleasure of attending the Beastie Boys Gala event last night at the Riviera. This venue is an old joint, with a lot of serious character running through it. It was an all instrumental show, although they threw down a few times with Mix Master Mike. I had seen […]
I have witnessed a few climbing movies before. They always tend to be quite one-sided. The athletes are impressive but the cinematography can sort of keep the footage on one plane. King Lines is the first trailer for a Climbing movie that actually left me quite intrigued. If you climb, you […]
The book was recommended to me by my intellectually powered best bud, Justin. I don’t normally enjoy fiction, but being that I commute via train these days, it has proved to be an enjoyable read for me. It helps to pass the time.

Not to thrive one of the best shows that I have seen this summer, but I was passed on a link to some of the video that was recorded of the Black Keys at Lollapalooza (thanks Jar). If you get the chance and you are looking for some better bands to listen to, click here […]

My father and I accomplished the rigorous circumnavigation of the Great Salt Pond via kayaks, during our week on Block Island. The Great Salt pond is a lot like the Great Salt Lake, only different. The Great Salt Pond was actually a pond for most of its life, until they dug a channel […]
I had the pleasure of spending the entire week on a great island. Block Island is always compared to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Hamptons because it basically lands geographically right in the middle of all of them. But it should actually never be compared to these places because its its own island. […]
