Where to Celebrate Halloween in Montgomery 2019

Crunch Bars are the best candy to show up in your trick-or-treating bag and anyone who believes otherwise is a Communist. The poor souls who come to my house each year don’t get coat their cavities with Crunches because I’m quite thorough at picking through the bag I buy at the grocery store and pulling them all out. That being […]

Two Ladies, Some Wine, and Some Jubilee

This evening’s adventure into Cottage Hill was the medicine I needed for a twenty-four hour emotional roller coaster in my personal life.

We took full […]

On Skulls and Pills: BUZZ at Shakespeare Festival

I have a secret, if you promise not to judge me. This is a safe place and it’s my house so you have to not judge me. Here it is: I’ve never seen Hamlet. I’m sure I was forced to read it at some point in high school when all those mean English and theatre teachers pin students down and […]

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the Gump 2019

Cinco de Mayo is upon us! Here’s your annual reminder that it’s a celebration of the Mexican army over the French empire (not Mexican Independence Day). While the day has a lesser meaning in Mexico, in America it has evolved to celebrate American-Mexican unity. Here in Montgomery, Cinco de Mayo is a wonderful time for us to try new food […]

Date Night with Shakespeare

My buddy, Joe, was borderline angry when I told him I hadn’t been to a show at Shakespeare Festival in the six years I’ve lived here. Utter disbelief veiled his face at the inability to fathom the existence of someone who somehow let this experience slip past them for so long. The Shakespeare Festival is a glorious, shining gem in […]
