If you had asked me when I was younger what my least favorite thing to do on a Saturday was, it would be the day, every other month, when my mother would force my stepfather to take me to get a haircut. We would go to a place in Providence that was something like Purgatory, […]
One of my favorite things about Rhode Island is simply this: We all know each other. Whenever I’m telling someone from out-of-state what it’s like, I always say, the usual, great food, so many things to do, beautiful, and of course that when it comes to social circles, we’re basically one great big game of […]
If you get invited to one of their get-togethers, it’s a good idea to bring something that’ll keep you occupied. “It’s not that you’re not allowed to talk, we just don’t require it.” The idea came to them in a group text. A joke about what it’s like being introverts who still crave socialization and […]
Hi Spyce, So I went on a date with this guy and it went really well. Throughout the date he was very complimentary, affectionate and expressed many times how into me he was. We talked about how we were both not looking for something casual, and he talked about how much fun it would be […]
If you were walking down Bowen Street sometime in the spring of 2005, you may have been going for a leisurely walk and detected the low thrum of a beat pulsating as if a small rave were happening within walking distance of East Side Pockets. The minor earthquake was courtesy of a boy whose name […]
If you’re like me, the only way you wanted to end a wild Saturday night out when you were in your 20s was a trip to the local grocery store. As someone who gets depleted from complex human interaction and/or someone not laughing at a joke I made three years ago, it’s important to find […]
Every week, I’ve been doing a deep dive into cultural issues, usually theater-related, that are bothering me or that deserve a second look. But who needs another thinkpiece, right? I host two weekly programs on my theater company’s Faceboook page (Facebook.com/EpicTheatreCo) where I ask guests what has been keeping them creatively engaged or excited, and […]
If you walked by the Johnny Rockets on Thayer Street in the summer of 2007, you may have noticed a rather sad boy sitting at the window by himself, nursing an order of french fries. The month after my first real break-up, for lack of anything better to do with myself, I would drive to […]
If you happen to be a night owl in Providence, there are only a few select spots where you can be around others of your kind in a social setting. That’s why the proliferation of closures and adjustments that sprang up a year ago seemed to hit the hardest the first time I found myself […]
If you don’t have a car, Rhode Island is not always the easiest place to live. Over the years, I’ve spoken many times with someone who’s moved here from a place like New York or Boston where it’s possible to get everywhere you could want to go using only public transportation. Those people seem to […]
