DJ Princess
behind the microphone [ +zoom ] I went down to the radio station to take a few shots yesterday, and Babs was on duty. Even as the station gets ready to power-down and go off “air” this week, she still asks, “So what music have you been listening to lately?” These people rock to their…

IKEA Cincinnati, and other local links
Skyline as seen from City View Tavern in Mt. Adams. Had drinks there this past Saturday, specifically: The Poor Man’s Corona (Miller High Life Light with Lime, only 2 bucks) Real quick, some stuff for Cincinnatians: IKEA picks West Chester – Finally, we don’t have to drive to PA or IL to furnish cheaply. Alchemize…

I will make the cheercisions around here
…and I will deal with the cheer-onsequences Another Reds game, this time with excellent seats (thanks Chris & Barb), oppressive heat, and then – the quick torrential downpour. Almost a no-hitter for Maddux and the Dodgers (he made it through 6 innings). I should point out – I have no idea of all this baseball…

MIL 4, CIN 1
at the ballpark I really do try and focus on the actual game, but baseball is so full of other stuff to watch. In between the beers, today’s fascination was the slow fade of cloud shadows as they passed over the stands and field. When that wasn’t interesting, there was the crowd. Far from a…

A Trip to Motown
with the Cincinnati Pops Dan performed with the Pops last night at Riverbend – the place I used to work when I was old enough to pour beer. It was a fine summer job, especially whenever Jimmy Buffet came through town and super-drunk folks wearing zany hats would tip well. Enough about that, the Pops…

I’m glad I didn’t ride the Son of Beast
but the Tazmanian Typhoon pictured above was super fun Went to Kings Island today and met up with friends at the water park. Sadly, they were leaving as their youngest was throwing up what appeared to be grapes and raisins in a beef broth. They were on their way and I took off my shirt…

Independence Day Parade 2006
Bubblemakers So I can’t see my mom having too much issue with this photo. I mean, look at her expression. My brother? He’s focused. The Northside parade was once again, a good time. The rain cleared up and it wasn’t awful humid. There was lots of stuff to nibble on and wash down with sweet…

Desdemona Festival
Sawyer Point Park, Cincinnati This marks the first year for the indie rock festival organized by Nick Spencer – a strong proponent of advancing Cincinnati as not only a destination, but a place to live. And though Pitchfork said of the fest, “good luck with that” – the clouds parted ways of impending storm, and…

DF: Idiots on Parade
A snippet of a piece by keithjive Shake It, the better-than-a-record-store, just released what I believe is the first book on their Shake It Ink imprint—producing DF: Idiots on Parade, a book of graffiti (legal and less so). I went to the opening at Power House Factories, enjoyed their space, saw works and artists up…
