Shortly after I stopped drinking, Zima was put to rest and became a discontinued punchline of beverages like New Coke, Crystal Clear Pepsi, and TAB.

A few months ago, fate came to me and I was given the opportunity to be a booking manager for a brand new Smiths-Morrissey tribute band based out of Philadelphia.

Wow, so much to talk about! For the record, I am the real deal and not a bandwagon fan by any means. I chose growing up in Baltimore to root for all Philadelphia teams as a child.

Memorial Day weekend, the party continues again as we take over Seaside Park (just south of the delicious Sawmill) ...
