jukebox the ghost takes on sweden

dc/phili-based band jukebox the ghost made it across the pond and partied with some dirty euros.  their upbeat songs and playful lyrics have created quite the following that has stretched all the way to sweden. quite fantastic for a couple of dudes who went to g-dubs. thus, i danced to their songs all night, drank some free beer, and had a member crash on my tiny apt floor. i guess that’s what happens when you go to uni in dc and get your masters in the land of vikings.

jukebox has now made it back stateside and they will be playing in a city near you. blackcat on march 25th.  i hope to see you all there.

Meet Leila Hadley, travel writer/socialite/general badass. Although she was the “chic, high-level, in-the-know career girl that millions of young women dreamed of being about in New York,” she decided it would be more fun to run away to Singapore. So in 1951, she took off to South Africa, Jamaica, Beirut, Malta and the West Indies with her six-year-old. And had some torrid affairs with dashing sailors along the way. Happy spring break/summer travels little capslocks, and if you ever think about going on a cruise to Cancun…what would Leila do?

see this: boston +cambridge in an american car. part one.

I arrived back in Boston after dark. Just enough time to explore a bit of the city.  The hotel that had been booked for me in Cambridge was a giant leap above the horror-story lodgings that I dealt with in Hadley and Lewiston.  I even had my own patio/balcony with a view of the western part of town.  I hailed a cab and crossed the river into Boston proper and got out on Beacon Street.

I walked aimlessly up and down the blocks for a bit – seeing nothing much in particular, I headed toward where I thought Fenway Park would be.  I saw some bright colorful lights in the distance and decided to follow them.

drink this: firefly vodka

one of the few good things to come out of the south, firefly vodka aka  sweet tea flavored vodka.  fantastic on the rocks, with a splash of water, or mixed with lemonade. this genius vodka comes in five delicious flavors: raspberry tea, peach tea, mint tea, lemon tea, and sweet tea bourbon. i was introduced to this dangerous vodka last summer on a road trip to charlottesville, va, where we partied in condos, swam at the gated-community’s pool, and ate their complimentary cookies.  i soon forgot about its existence (this may or may not be because i couldn’t remember drinking it in the first place), however, it was reintroduced to me last weekend. this could partly be the reason why my fellow capslockers and i did not completely make it to the warehouse show. be warned: it is dangerous and delicious… just remember you are drinking vodka and it does have the same effects of vodka even if it does not taste like it. so please don’t make our same mistake and think it is wise to consume a bottle or more. cheers loves!
