Now that Jump Back Ball is done for the year and I don’t have shop nights to attend or an outfit to throw together, you’d think I’d take a break and relax. You’d be wrong. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be happy to be helping @KaseyCrabtree and @KimiKay…
I don’t really consider myself very good at producing art. Sure, I enjoy sketching and painting, but my ability there is pretty limited. And if you get me near any sort of craft that demands a lot of physical dexterity, I’m often defeated by an innate clumsiness. Understanding how much talent and skill is…
The last time I posted, I had been rushing out the door to finish getting ready for Saturday night’s Jump Back Ball. I pretty much had been looking forward to PlayhouseSquare’s annual benefit since I first read about it last year — so when I walked in the doors of the theatre,…
In a couple hours, a year’s worth of planning comes together and Jump Back Ball 20 gets underway. Needless to say, I’ve been counting down the days over the last week as we got closer to today – making sure I had everything I needed, doublechecking I hadn’t lost my tickets, and…
Last night was the February Meetup for the Ohio Blogging Association‘s Cleveland chapter. Alicia of Poise in Parma did an excellent job in selecting this month’s location — AMP 150, a restaurant that quickly gained recognition both in Cleveland and on the national stage since its opening a little over a year ago.

With Clevelanders having an Iron Chef and James Beard nominees and winners in their backyard (among numerous other accolades), there’s really no excuse to not have a good meal. And it’s about more than just the food, a lot of times it’s the experience of the restaurant that makes the evening – be it…
From Sparx City Hop to IngenuityFestival, Clevelanders enjoy celebrating their city outdoors. Of course, most of these festivals happen when it’s warmer outside – the summer and fall see the bulk of them. When winter rolls around, it means it’s usually time to escape inside from the blustery cold. The…
With only one week until set up day for Jump Back Ball, saying it’s crunch time would be an understatement. Over the last month, members of Partners have met a couple times each week in the Hanna Building, putting together the decorations for the event. Since the first Shop Night…
Scott and I drove out to Long Island this weekend for the wedding of a friend from La Salle University, our alma mater. It was a beautiful ceremony, an amazing reception and we got to catch up with friends we hadn’t seen since our own wedding. While we waited for…
