Our home is a constant work in progress. Even though the remodel/addition was almost four years ago, we are yet to be fully settled. I guess having a kid can do that. We have also had a few family changes – the passing of my father-in-law just two months before Emerson’s birth, the recent move… Continue Reading Future Past Present: Holdin’ On To Band Posters
While I have attended Bonnaroo several times, I had yet to attend a city-based music festival like Forecastle. Unlike Bonnaroo where you camp on the same grounds as the music festival, you have to stay offsite with Forecastle. We chose to stay at The Galt House, which was less than a half mile from the… Continue Reading Music Festival Recap: Forecastle
This is the second in a series about my experience at the Forecastle Music Festival. I already wrote about what I wore, I will also be writing a festival recap. For my first Bonnaroo, I purchased the Kelty “Tecate” hydration pack. I wanted something small that would fit pretty much between my shoulder blades, and… Continue Reading What’s In My Bag: Forecastle Edition

This weekend I attended the Forecastle Music Festival in Louisville, Kentucky. The festival was over three days, we were staying in a hotel less than… Continue Reading Forecastle Music Festival – What I Wore

For those who haven’t heard of this band, Furthur was founded in 2009 by former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. It’s a jam band that performs music mainly from the Grateful Dead, as well as their own original music… Continue Reading What to Wear to a Jam Band Concert
It was 2006, my husband’s good friend plays the guitar and his birthday was coming up. My husband decided to get him a concert DVD of a guitarist that is well-respected but one that he may not already know. Doing a bit of Googling, Karl found My Morning Jacket and purchased Okonokos. The night of… Continue Reading How My Morning Jacket Changed My Life
To some, music is a religious experience. While many houses of worship these days encourage a “come as you are” dress code, I don’t recommend doing so either for church or a concert. While I doubt neither a god nor a rock god would question your devotion based upon your attire, what you choose to… Continue Reading What to Wear to a Concert
Every year around this time, fashion blogs, sites, and magazines offer their opinion on great music festival fashion. And every year around this time you’ll find me shaking my head and getting ragey. Their fashion advice SUCKS. Sorry magazines, blogs, and sites that I love… don’t give advice on something you know nothing about. You… Continue Reading Festival Fashion from a Festival Lover
This was an awesome weekend. I had plenty of fun time, family time, friend time, relaxing time. The weekend began early – I worked from home the first half of the day and then took off the second half so I could get ready for the Neko Case/My Morning Jacket concert. My Morning Jacket is… Continue Reading Concert Review: My Morning Jacket
