To New York from Boston With Love - Dropkick Murphys Relief Convoy

When the opportunity arose to drive to New York with the Dropkick Murphys Claddaugh Fund hurricane relief team, there was no possible way to say no. How can you say no to that? On Friday, November 9, 2012, I jumped on the DKM relief convoy and headed to two Hurricane Sandy major disaster areas.

Cheers to the Liebster Award!

TWO Liebster Awards?! Pretty damn cool. I’m doing something right.

I was awarded the Liebster by Sarabell at Sarah Being Sarabell and Brandi of No Map Provided (both very awesome blogs). Liebster is a German word which means dearest. This award is for new bloggers who have less than 200 followers and helps give them recognition and support. It's also a great way to let someone know how much you love their blog!

Thank you Sarabell and Brandi, this is awesome!

Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. V

"Ladies, I don't usually drink liquor when I got out, but I need a gin and tonic, like right now," said more than one of my friends on multiple occasions. However way you justify it, after a long week, stop making tough decisions and go for a reliable cocktail. Then press play on your November Spotify playlist and chill the fuck out. Also grab your free Paper + Plastick fall sampler download, available for a limited time. Advice and free stuff, I'm your best friend.

Two Are Better Than One

Okay I'll admit it, I have a thing for two-piece bands.

Maybe there is an influx in duos, or maybe I just prefer the intimate stage presence, but lately it's been pointed out to me that if there are just two members in the band, I'll probably like them.

Social Faux Pas

I was on a social faux pa roll this weekend. Between staring blankly at acquaintances I ran into at the pumpkin patch (sorry guys), to introducing myself to someone I've met several times before, I pretty much win the spaz award.

Rock Out With Your Cocktail Out Vol. IV

Rumor has it, due to a less than adequate harvest this year, the price of apple cider will rise. Better stock up if you want to make the October Rock Out With Your Cocktail out drink, Sparkling Chambord Cider. Awesome playlist availability not affected by bad apples.
