Nadine recently, took a part-time baking job at Michele’s On Goss where she will be the Pastry Chef! She missed being in a kitchen professionally and jumped at the opportunity to make some extra cash and do something that she loves.
Stop by the restaurant some time for dessert or check out the Sunday brunch buffet for some of her sweet treats! During her time at the Michele’s I will be photographing her as well as her lovely desserts. Here are some photos from her first week!
This past Sunday I attended the Forecastle festival in Louisville, KY. This was my first experience attending Forecastle and was quite excited to see She & Him, Spoon and The Flaming Lips and in general check out the festival. What I encountered was a festival that did not give much thought at all to the VIP attendee and I felt I was completely misled and slighted.
I sent the VIP department of Forecastle an email explaining my frustration. Hopefully they take a look at other festivals and learn how to provide a quality experience for all attendees.
I am unfortunately writing you because my experience at Forecastle with a VIP Pass for Sunday was completely horrible. I felt scammed and ripped off.
On my way through the gate I was told that I could not bring in my camera as it had a detachable lens, once inside I saw many VIP and non-vip festival goers with cameras and lenses. This is part of the reason I got a VIP pass, to take good pictures up close.
In addition, no re-entry. Really? It’s an all day festival.
Your workers at the gate are there all day anyways, can’t they just check me again if I leave and want to re-enter later?I visited the West VIP area, not sure if there were other VIP areas, I got no map when I entered the festival.
Luxurious, air-conditioning lounges… one lounge, not luxurious, barely air conditioned.
Amenities, and services, what were those exactly? They were not in the form of nice bathrooms, free water, discounted food or drinks.Organic food sampling? where was that?
When I pay double the price for a ticket, I expect to get true VIP service.
You have failed miserably. You need to look around at other festivals and learn how to do treat those that pay for VIP access.- Stephen Scott Weber
It’s been forever since I’ve had the time to work on music. I’ve been getting more into low sub bass and always seeking the eternal chest rattler! So her is a track that Im working on to grace Terminal Dusk or some other label once it’s completed, have a listen.
Nadine and I made it to Lexington, KY with enough time to see Cursive perform a free 6 song acoustic set at CD Central before the show later that evening at The Dame.
I used the voice recorder app to bootleg the show. The acoustic set was great and I’m hoping that at some point cursive put out some sort of acoustic “best of” album or something, that would be great. Anyways, the recordings are not bad considering I recorded them from my shirt pocket. enjoy!
Neon Bible, Arcade Fire’s 2nd album (2007), is pretty good.
I personally liked Funeral better, Neon Bible definitely sounds more polished.
Strong points: Big sounds, bands with more than 4 members are just better, lots of sound texture. Also enjoyed the remake of No Cars Go. My Body Is A Cage Brings the whole album together, encompassing all the great aspects of the record.
Weak points: Régine Chassagne, I just don’t like her voice, but her instrumentation is perfection.
Neat feature of the vinyl: Record 2, side B is etched with the bibles seen on the sleeve.
As Scott mentions below, Arcade Fire give an amazing, high-energy live show. You should see them, make it happen.
Neon Bible is a great followup to Arcade Fire’s Funeral album and they seem to be solidifying their sound and continuing to write catchy indie songs with great instrumentation. There are many great tracks consisting of acoustic/electric guitars, bass, strings and drums with the random accordion, organ or other eclectic instrument sprinkled in.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live in the Summer of 2008 at Waterfront park in Louisville, KY. They put on a great live performance, If you have the chance to see them perform, do it, you will not be disappointed. I am eagerly awaiting their next release.
