It was the middle of August, and I was out fishing with some friends. It was extremely humid, and the temperature was in the 90s. If it were not for the ceremonial gesture of getting the boys together for one last fishing trip with our friend before he moved away, I doubt any of us […]
Aries: Serious conversations clear the deck for a new beginning that improves your daily routine. You encounter people as you go about your business who awaken you to new possibilities. You focus your energy in a variety of areas from workaday necessities to romance and fun things like sporting events. Creativity is enhanced. Taurus: Once you tie […]
Fall usually brings to mind change — the leaves turn, people head back to school, new friends are made. And a perfect way to bring a new group of friends closer is to play a board game. Now, I’m not talking about Scrabble, LIFE, Sorry!, and the notorious Monopoly. All of these are timeless classics […]
We live in a state that thrives on intimacy. The heart that beats through the people is one of inter-connectedness, and that is why this year’s first annual Ocean State Oyster Festival is going to be an event worth catching: It’s hosted by people who love Rhode Island; it will initiate relationships between the hands […]
Fall is finally here and with the changing season comes pumpkin flavored beer, corn mazes and two weekends of punk and hardcore music festivals! Although the festivals are smaller compared to some of what we see in Providence, there are over 25 bands from all over New England, New York, Pennsylvania and even Norway coming […]
Fall is my absolute favorite season. The temperature is at a close to perfect level — not so hot and humid that sweat drenches everything nearly immediately and not too cold that everyone is bundled up like the common Eskimo.

My earliest memories of listening to radio involve getting down to The J. Geils Band when they started to have a string of huge radio hits with the likes of “Freeze Frame,” “Centerfold,” and “Just Can’t Wait.” This was the tail end of the band’s career as soon as they hit the big time, it […]
Rhode Island is unique for many reasons — quahogs, bubblahs and our tight-knit theater community. However, if you’re new to this amazing area, you can be overwhelmed with all the choices. From a Theatre by the Sea to a 2nd Story, where are you supposed to begin? Have no fear, dear new Rhode Islander. Rhode Island […]
The Pawtucket Arts Festival (PAF) is more than a pop‐up event with fried dough and face paint. Through October 4, PAF will bring the community affordable and interactive events that span across time and disciplines. The annual Taste of the Valley and the Blackstone River Party kicked off the festival at the historic grounds of Slater Mill in late August and then, over the six-week period, 20 eclectic events will take place throughout the city. The festival benefits Pawtucket, but also helps artists gain wide exposure […]
