Blog Recap - 2018

December 31st, 2018 – Athens, Ohio –

A Note from the Future

Not really, but I have been genuinely awful about keeping up this blog, but a plan of mine for 2020 is to fix that! I felt really weird just jump-starting after nearly 5 years into new stuff, so there will be a few yearly recaps (that are mainly comprised of images) first! They will get rational dates instead of all being January 2020.

January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December

The ‘No Trespassing’ sign from the first photo is the tiny thing barely above the water line in the second photo, which was wild. Thankfully, after this and the ensuing damage, some long-lasting fixes were put into place and it hasn’t flooded since.

If you’ve never been to the Newport for a show, you need to remedy that as soon as possible! It is the ‘Longest Continually Running Rock Club’ in the country.

We went up for a Jack White show, and he uses the amazing Yondr phone pouches, so no photos taken by fans, but one of the best shows I’ve ever seen because of it!
