I was a the bar the other day, drinking a beer, and looking at the various vodkas with Laura Miner. She noticed that, strangely, both Belvedere and Grey Goose had similar bottles—frosted glass with an image on the back-inside. We wondered who was copying who, so I decided to look them up on Wikipedia. Belvedere… Continue reading Rangtang

One Year In (Stand-up Comedy)
Today marks my 1-year anniversary of being a stand-up comedian. Not that I needed it, but Facebook even helped remind me by posting an “On This Day In 2010” status for me. It was in Worcester at the now defunct Orlando’s Comedy Jam. I was there to record Ryan Staples‘ set so he could submit… Continue reading One Year In (Stand-up Comedy)

That being said, I’d love to have an audience of people there to support… Continue reading The Comedy Studio Debut
Walking Through a 90’s Videogame
This past Saturday, I was at the reception for a photography show featuring some Polaroids by Laura Miner. It was held in a former silverware factory in East Boston and most of the building is still empty. I walked through this one particular room and was reminded of playing video games in the 90’s, most… Continue reading Walking Through a 90’s Videogame
