Cleveland Weekend: Yuri's Night and Market at the Foodbank
Some blog-keeping: Have you entered to win 2 tickets to the Cleveland JazzFest? You can tweet daily for additional entries. After all the running around for last week’s Partners Bowl-a-Rama (who has stress dreams over bowling? this guy!), I was more than ready for the weekend. Ready to sleep past…
Tri-C JazzFest Giveaway: Lionel Loueke Trio at MOCA
In January, I blogged about coming up with my Cleveland “bucket list” for the year – new-to-me places or events I’ve wanted to, but haven’t yet explored. I’m glad to be able to cross one off my list in a couple weeks: the Tri-C Jazz Festival. What started in 1980 as…

Theater Ninjas' The Excavation at Cleveland Museum of Art
From Good People and Much Ado… to next week’s War Horse, Scott and I have been spending a lot of time in theatre seats lately. And as impressive and enjoyable as all of these shows have been, sometimes you need a palate cleanser. Something that’s a bit off-the-wall, that you’re not really…
International Partners in Mission's Namaste Night
There are many reasons I’m grateful for joining Partners, most of which I’ve blogged about before – events like next Thursday’s Bowling Night, the ability to support the theatre, Jump Back Ball. But more than any other reason, it’s the friends I’ve made that keep me coming back. I know, it…
GIVEAWAY: MedWish Celebrates 20 Years at Band Aid Bash
Last November I had the chance to spend the morning at MedWish for a Blogger Volunteer Day. Although it meant waking up before 6am on a Saturday, getting to see the effects of MedWish’s unique mission was more than worth it. In Northeast Ohio, we are very lucky that our hospitals are filled with an abundance of medical supplies. Unfortunately, there are…
Good People at Cleveland Play House is Great
It’s a tall order to combine broad laughs, social commentary, and a melancholy, intimate, character-driven story. But Good People – currently onstage at Cleveland Play House’s Allen Theatre through April 14 – succeeds with a subtle mastery. When I was invited to attend Good People’s opening night last week, I was greeted by a “Welcome to South Boston” mural overlooking the back…

A Quick Detour at Fabletown
Sometimes you have to post about something even if it has nothing to do with your blog. This is one of those times. This year, Scott and I gave each other a trip to Rochester, Minnesota as our anniversary gift. Sure, it may not sound very sexy, but we had good reason:…
