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. All I knew was that with this particular class, I wanted to be in attendance.
Read moreConcert Review: Armor for Sleep
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. Now, the 15 year anniversary of their first major-label debut, What to Do When You Are Dead, was meant to happen last year but COVID had other plans. No worries! It worked out even better for me this year!

What a long time coming this concert has been!
Read moreRiot Fest 2021
Early Friday morning I boarded a plane headed to Chicago for the first time in my life, in the middle of a pandemic (still), to attend Riot Fest! To say I was both nervous and excited is an understatement.
Read moreInkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival
You read that right folks, over the weekend I attended and music and tattoo festival. Many tattoos were had, just not by me. But there was plenty of live music to make me feel like life is worth living again. Thankfully with some COVID mandates and me choosing to wear a mask all weekend, I felt like it was a relatively safe and very fun event! It was my first time attending, and thanks to some sheer luck, I ended up winning some VIP passes, so I got the whole dang experience! Let’s dive into what all went down!

After delaying this epic concert a whole year, the Hella Mega Tour finally made its way to my neck of the woods!

After a year away, I couldn’t wait to get back to the beautiful grounds at the Linder Family Tennis Center to catch all the pros playing ALL. THE. TENNIS. I could have done without the constant sweating still, but you can’t win them all. Either way, I was glad to be back at this excellent tournament!
Read moreSteel City Con – August 2021 Edition
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to a convention, and since the first one I ever attended was Steel City Con in December of 2019, it only makes sense that my first one back was Steel City Con again! 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.

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.
