Last weekend, after recovering from my jet lag for two days, I set sail for State College (Bellefonte to be more precise) to attend the State College Brewing Expo. My buddy who goes to grad school at Penn State invited a few of our high school friends to attend. I always have fun with this group,

“What do you like better, Christmas or Wedding Season?” “The answer would be, um, Picnic Season?” Picnic season in NEPA is a big deal. It’s a dying deal, but still a big deal nonetheless, and something that, to me, defines summertime and growing up. Every summer, for as long as I can remember, weekends were dominated
I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to visit Maine now for the better part of two years. My three main draws being: the scenery, adventure sports, and most importantly the chance the devour several fresh Maine lobster rolls. One problem with Maine is that it is a pretty sizable drive from Pennsylvania, yet close enough that flying
For our kayaking trip this past weekend, we left from the small town of Milford, PA. I’ll admit the day we left, it was early, and I was tired so I just sort of chucked Milford up to another Pennsylvania small town. We did have lunch at a neat place called the Black Bear Cafe, a

Even though miles of mines run underneath North Eastern Pennsylvania, the entrances to the majority of these mines are sealed. The poorly sealed entrance to one sat in the woods below where I
Ghost Town’s in PA? “Jungleland” was playing on the radio as I pulled up the hill towards Centralia. It seemed an appropriate song.

So I have a wishlist of concerst I want to see. Some are unrealistic (Sinatra, Queen) and some I hope to be able to check off my list sooner than later (Gaslight Anthem, John Mellancamp, The Pogues). Number one on my concert wish list is The Killers. Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town are two of
Last week I paid for the majority of my Ireland trip. It left a pretty devastating hole in my bank account I’ve been trying not to look at. I decided I should probably put in my head that my four day Memorial Day weekend would have to be cheap; I even considered using it as a work weekend.
