Well, this time it was for break and man what a time. Oddly enough, no travel debacles for stories this time! I arrived Saturday and spent the day tooling around in the city. I stayed the night in a perfect hostel (actually... yes... perfect!) near to times square. It was comfortable and the guy, Avi, that runs it was super super nice. It's called the New York City Hostel on 38th... just in case anyone wants to make not of it! Saturday night was beautiful. Great tunes at O'Neill's and I met a few really nice people, Paul and Mark, [View Full Entry]

Well... I know I write a lot on my blogs that people don't read, but if there's anything you should read, it will be this story as it's quite the... well... crazy one. So, I had planned to go to NYC for Paddy's day for quite some time now. I wasn't about to let anything break my plans. Including a slight little ski accident. Well [View Full Entry]

For my brother, a magic kit. Now, naturally, we [View Full Entry]

<------WATCH VIDEOS! Well all... It's been a whirlwind of a week for many reasons, but it finally came to end while listening to the most unbelievable bluegrass I've heard live. Friday night... the long awaited Chris Thile and How to Grow A Band show in Buffalo. http://www.myspace.com/christhile He is, as some of you know, one of my two favorite mandolin players... not to mention... my future husband if I can make things work my way. In any case, I had second row tix, but the first row was set down so low that I had a full view (which, you [View Full Entry]

I know, we skipped the first. I assembled the layers of cake (tina helped because it had a filling) and then coated it with the first layer of chocolate (the orange you see). This is me putting the se... [more]
The week was exhausting and right towards the end, the bakery called and needed a treasure chest made for the Chocolate Ball (benifit for the Epilepsy Foundation) on Saturday. Yeah, it was a big deal and she wanted me to do it. So, I went in at 3pm on Friday and left at 2am. 11 hours later, a treasure chest ready for the show... well, almost... a couple more hours of finishing touches Saturday sealed the deal. Now, the other part of this is that it's a competition and, although this was the best thing I had made to date, I [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone! Well, first off... the winter we long awaited has arrived... with a vengeance... frigid cold temperatures, tons of snow and that beautiful upstate NY weather we are used to here in Rochester! Love it! Been skiing a few times a week... at least twice with ski club and it's been a blast. I think I'm finally remembering how again. Last Thursday was the BEST night of skiing yet! The week before last, Joe, Jeff, Sol and Jeff played their first gig at Starry Night's Cafe. They were absolutely amazing! We couldn't believe it! We know they are all talented [View Full Entry]

<------WATCH VIDEO! I started people watching on the plane ride down there. The guy next to me was doing a crossword, scratching his head with the tip of the pencil and licking it. Despite this strange start, the weekend was sensational. On the plane I broke my no TV rule and watched a documentary (figured it's ok to break the rule for those, right?) on Haite & Ashbury, the summer of love and all that. VERY interesting. Kinda wish I was around for that! Arrived to the hostel and met a very cool Aussi girl & headed to the Ron [View Full Entry]
