The Real Life Boy Amélie
It’s an understatement to say that we’re all a bit inundated with viral videos, cute animal photos, and online celebrity gossip. This is not any of those. The videos below tell one of the most endearing, inspirational stories I’ve ever heard. They tell the story about one person who followed Adventure to a priceless end […]
New York: The Face of Fogy?
August 24, 2010
Between the incessant, ignorant rants and unnecessary national attention over a proposed mosque in New York City, I’ve about had enough. Then, this morning I read an article in the Metro about the controversial building of a new tower two blocks west of the Empire State Building which at 1,216 feet would rival the landmark’s […]
Dear NYU Rejection Letter, I Forgive You
August 17, 2010

Two weeks ago I went to my first Futhur show. You’ve heard about my first parking lot (click here if you haven’t), but I’ve kept you waiting to hear about my first show experience, past the gates. Please accept my apologies. I promise, I’d write to you every day if I could. As I mentioned […]
Truckin’ On Independence Day
July 4, 2010
On July 4th, 1989 the Grateful Dead held a show at what was then known as Rich Stadium in Buffalo, NY. Several reviews refer to this show, and the rest of the tour, as one of the Dead’s best in their last 15 years on stage. In 2005 the CD and DVD recordings of this […]
