Some of My Favorite Pennsylvania-centric Songs

I was listening to the 2000’s Pandora station the other day (sidenote: does it make anyone else feel old that there is a 2000’s Pandora?) which was fun because all these songs I completely forgot existed came on, including Phantom Planet’s “California”, which brought me back to junior-senior year of high school when coincidentally the

The Country Music Hall of Fame & Hatch Print Shop

I was surprised that out of all the things I saw in Nashville, the Hatch Print Show showroom, located inside the Country Music Hall of Fame was one of my favorite parts of my trip. I was confused by this as I’m generally not the sort of person who “gets” art. This fact in itself sort

Frat Music

This is going to be extremely short and sweet, but it’s something I’m currently obsessed with. It’s an actual plus (unpaid, of course) for an app. And it’s not a travel app, it’s a music app. Even worse? It’s called Frat Music. Bear with me. I keep saying that I’ve been trying to focus just a little

The Pedal Bar

Take a look at this music video.  Besides being a phenomenal song, what jumps out at you?  If you’re anything like me, you took one look at the bicycle/drinking contraption they’re riding around on and said to yourself, “I need that in my life.” My friend Kelsey and my brother introduced me to “One More

NY Celtic Festival

It’s about that time of the year when my friends and I start throwing out plans for summer trips.  Now, not all of these come to fruitation, but you want to get ideas out, see who’s in, consult everyone’s schedules, etc, before anything concrete happens (and before everyone’s plate fills up). Now, I realize I’ve been

Shipping Up to Boston

My brother purchased me tickets to see a Dropkick Murphy’s St. Patrick’s Day show up in Massachusetts. I’ve been wanting to spend a St. Patrick’s Day is Boston, so I’m glad he finally made me go make good on this. It did not disappoint. The concert was actually in Lowell, Massachusetts, an easy forty three

Countdown to Parade Season….

For most Americans, Christmas is the only holiday celebrated seasonally.   Starting on Thanksgiving break (or the day after Halloween if you grew up in my house) Christmas parties, bar crawls, cookies, and carols are the norm for a whole month and a half. We don’t do this for Valentine’s Day (thank God), only dress in

Secret Service in Philly

For the last three years, my friends in Manayunk have hosted a University of Scranton Christmas party the Friday before Christmas break and every year for the last three years that same group takes the ride into Philly on Saturday to see the band Secret Service perform at Finnegan’s Wake. If you’re from the Philly
