Bowling for Soup had always been a Warped Tour staple, so I never thought about seeing them outside of that circumstance. Well, now that the tour has been out of commission for six years, I kind of miss those guys!

Inkcarceration 2024
Another month, another music festival! This time around I got to head back to Inkcarceration for the first time since 2021.
Read moreConcert Review: Third Eye Blind
If you’d have asked me even four years ago if I’d ever consider seeing Third Eye Blind in concert, I would have told you no without even having to think about it. But ever since seeing them at Wonderstruck back during the summer in 2021, I can’t help but think about how impressive their set was!
Read moreConcert Review: 20 Years of Tears
Has it really been a successful concert year if I haven’t seen both Hawthorne Heights and Emery at least once? Absolutely not.

A new music festival added to the roster this year!
Read moreConcert Review – Taking Back Sunday
I think after the great success of the When We Were Young Festival last year, I was all in for any emo concert swinging through even remotely close to my hometown. Cut to summertime and I had my reservations about seeing Taking Back Sunday for the first time in years.

After missing these guys on their home turf in Melbourne, I was excited to finally get to see The Chats again after a few years. I get to see them again next week, but that’s besides the point.
Read moreSteel City Con – Spring 2024
I’ve realized that maybe I need to start tagging Steel City Con with a season since there are three of them every year. Something a little bit different leading up to the first iteration of 2024 was a bunch of unknowns. First, the convention hall was going to get bought out by Hobby lobby and discontinued, but then the city stepped in and bought it, leaving the con at its home. The second wrench was the Double Tree hotel getting shut down just a couple of months beforehand. This really messed with their overflow space, but a semi-permanent tent helped soften that blow a bit.
