Mainland - The Welcome Home Tour

Last month, my friend and I saw Mainland in concert for the second time. They opened for Mariana's Trench a couple months ago, and we've been in love with their music ever since. We jumped at the chance to see them again when they came back to Boston to open for Rooney.


Joey, Jordan, and Corey - 3/4 of Mainland

To the Old Man in Pajama Pants and Rollerskates

Dear Sir,

When you passed me on my run, I was close to quitting. The classic rock blasting in my earphones was barely enough to keep me from slowing to a walk. But then I saw a blur of green in my peripheral vision. In a green t-shirt, green camo pajama pants, and roller skates with green wheels, you rolled on by. You instantly brought a smile to my face. With your arms raised to the sky, you exuded carefree happiness, even from the back. And that joy was infectious. So thank you.




Turbo: Graffiti Alley in Cambridge

For how close it is, I don't get over to Cambridge enough. The other weekend I managed to cross the river to go to my friend's gig. In Central Square is this awesome alley covered from top to bottom in beautiful graffiti.
