Tuesday, April 16th was one for the ages for myself and I know I wasn’t alone. In fact, I would dare to say that it being the first ever East Side Storytellin’ outdoors – coupled with the fact that it was the ultimate combination of wordsmiths, local historians, and music players & appreciators – […]

December 18th might not mean a lot to a lot of people other than 3 days before the failed Mayan apocalypse, but it meant a great deal to me. In fact, it was the closest thing I’ve ever had to Christmas come early with the exception of the time that my family took our Christmas […]
It went down on Tuesday, November 20th. It was not election night, but it was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Was I worried about nobody showing up? The answer was not a chance! We had our quota already RSVP’d by 6pm that night and we were set up and ready to go. Ready to go we […]
