Go Away Gustav
Not much to write about this blog….just felt like I need to mention this. On the Friday before Labor Day….to honor those workers who helped those in need in New Orleans in 2005 and those who continue to assist…….on the eve of Hurricane Gustav who will put New Orleans in the path of destruction……..Louisana…..you are […]
Here comes your man!
My husband is a huge Pixies fan.
For those of you who are familiar with The Pixies….a small band out of Massachusetts that went on to create music history. Even my favorities….Bono (U2) and David Bowie consider The Pixies one of the most influential bands in music history! Within a year of Mike and I dating, […]
Makes me wonder if this December will be long?
Last night, Mike and I were able to attend the Maroon 5 and Counting Crows concert at Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion.
We are noticing how we are “getting older” in relation to music. Most folks were there to see Maroon 5 not Counting Crows. The Counting Crows have a history of opening for bands, not headlining. This […]
Barnraisers
This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend (at the beach!) with some of my best college ( Go CATS!) friends (and former roommates). Jami, Tiffany and I have known each other for a long time. (Jami and I went to junior high and high school together so we have known each […]
Even in 100 degree heat and a Pinstriped Suit -
The R.E.M. concert was great! I felt like I was back in high school dancing and singing to some of my favorite songs. It was a little toasty for me since yesterday’s high was around 100….but even in this heat, Michael Stipe still rocked out while wearing a Pinstriped Suit!
Apparantly, several other of my NBC […]

If you can - come out and […]
Father and Son….Rock
Okay. Van Halen rocked. I have never been to a true “rock” concert and the fact that most of the players in the band are in their 50s….I didn’t know what to expect. Oh my goodness. I throroughly enjoyed myself…rocking out to Panama, Jump, Eruption and just mesmorized by Eddie Van Halen (see below) and […]
Okay - I didn’t rock and Raleigh didn’t either
Well several weekends ago I ran the Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon. As with any inagural races, you never know how it will go. How well it will be planned or how the course will be, etc. Now that I have planned a few station events, I find my mind wandering off during these races…hmm…I would […]
They haunt me!
Ever since our Tree of Lights event in 2007, the band Lifehouse has been haunting me. They performed a great show at our festival…but I think since I was exposed to them…I hear them everywhere whether it’s a music video, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade….or just the radio.
I was in training in Richmond this past […]
