As is sit here at my often snail-like computer I often given the opportunity to gaze and contemplate upon certain things well into the wee hours of the morning. There are few things in the world more eye-opening than turning away from a computer with thoughts of peaceful slumber and realizing that the sun has [...]
Most of time, despite celebrating the passing of one year into the next, a new year generally feels like the old year kinda like the old who song: “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. Sometimes we hold out for hope that things will change in the new year but mostly we don’t [...]
So it seems that just in the mere blink of an eye that a small blip of Pirate Radio has come come and gone in Augusta this week by way of gangsta rap station 99.9. Short story even shorter-FCC pulled in, home invaded, equipment confiscated, Jack Sparrow tried and hung. Not that I even care [...]

It’s times like these, half asleep-partially buzzed, that a guy tends to look back and reminisce on special moments [...]
Many in Augusta were left curious about Augusta having St. Patty’s Day festivities, in particular the parade, on Friday as opposed to Saturday. This years holiday falls on the Monday of Holy Week leading up to the earliest Easter Sunday we’ve seen in a while. St. Joseph’s Day, normally celebrated on March 19th, [...]
Before we let the sun go down on yet another amazing February here in Augusta, I’d like to present a few verbal awards to some folks who have gone above and beyond the call of duty lately.

As if 2007 wasn’t excited enough lo-and-behold the 2008 music season has kicked off with a bang with a fury of new music already infecting the ears of Augusta music fans! And that was just in January! But before we get into that…the annual Choice Awards are less than a week a way [...]
