Concert Review: Here Come the Mummies

Truthfully, seeing Here Come the Mummies again at the House of Blues near me was one of the concerts I was really looking forward to last year until COVID put life and live music on hold. Sure, their Halloween livestream was awesome, but I really wanted to be in the room with the band and feed off of their insane energy. Well, I just got that chance last night!

2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

This year, the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place in Cleveland! I do believe this is the first time (at least in a very long time) that this has happened and who knows, maybe it will never happen again.

My middle school self continues to thrive this year! Just like Scary Kids Scaring Kids graced me with an anniversary tour last month, emo stalwarts, Armor for Sleep have followed suit.

Steel City Con – August 2021 Edition

As eager as I’ve been to get back to everything, it’s clear a lot of other people are, too. The convention center was packed and the mood was euphoric, and that made it a really fun day for me.

Wonderstruck Music Festival

Live music continues! This time I’m back at my first festival since 2019, and it was a glorious return. Even better? The weather worked out well and the crowds were into it! I think the collective gratitude at being back at a festival made everyone friendly and just generally excited about life. Myself included.
