The Pinhook and The Physics of Meaning!
Mike and I took the jump last Friday to Durham, NC. We have been saying that we need to explore more of the Triangle and not just hang out in our corner of the world (Raleigh). So, luckily one of his friends from about 6 years ago is in a band and we finally got [...]
Tired of March Madness Try Music Madness?
If you are not an ACC fan, or better yet…a basketball fan. The past month and upcoming weeks on TV may not be for you. With March Madness in full swing (Go Duke), even the most die-hard basketball fan may need a break. So, with that said….try the Music Bracket, brought to you by Raleigh’s [...]
U2 in Raleigh
U2 is finally coming to Raleigh! Rumor is that it will be NCSU’s Carter Finley Stadium. October 3rd is the date….and yes I will be purchasing tickets. Rumor also has it that the band will be releasing some tickets at $30/piece. I’m not holding my breath on that one! Tickets go on sale the first [...]

My night with Willie
Friday night was quite an interesting evening. As mentioned in an earlier blog, I purchased Willie Nelson tickets for my husband for his birthday. Friday night we gathered with a few friends and attended the concert in Durham. Pulling in the parking deck of the Durham Performing Arts Center, Mike caught a glimpse of Willie’s tour [...]
Willie and the Wheel
I was going to wait and write this post on my husband’s birthday, but decided to go ahead.
It seems like I’m making it a tradition that for my husband’s birthday, I buy concert tickets. Several years ago, I bought tickets to see one of our favorite bands lead singer…Evan Dando (The Lemonheads) perform at the [...]
Party Like it’s 1999….okay maybe 2008?
Everyone remembers the tune by Prince…Party Like’s it’s 1999….I can’t believe 1999 was almost 10 years ago!
Not sure if you have plans for New Year’s Eve. My plans are always pretty simple. Hang out with friends at someone’s home. We aren’t really big on going out for a big event and dealing with traffic, crazy [...]
Go Away Gustav
Not much to write about this blog….just felt like I need to mention this. On the Friday before Labor Day….to honor those workers who helped those in need in New Orleans in 2005 and those who continue to assist…….on the eve of Hurricane Gustav who will put New Orleans in the path of destruction……..Louisana…..you are [...]
Here comes your man!
My husband is a huge Pixies fan.
For those of you who are familiar with The Pixies….a small band out of Massachusetts that went on to create music history. Even my favorities….Bono (U2) and David Bowie consider The Pixies one of the most influential bands in music history! Within a year of Mike and I dating, [...]
Makes me wonder if this December will be long?
Last night, Mike and I were able to attend the Maroon 5 and Counting Crows concert at Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion.
We are noticing how we are “getting older” in relation to music. Most folks were there to see Maroon 5 not Counting Crows. The Counting Crows have a history of opening for bands, not headlining. This [...]
