On July 30th 2015 we brought the Plain White T’s to play a pool party at one lucky winners house in Fairfield. There was a rain shower that we thought could put a damper on things but it passed and we had a great time.

Tell Me Something Good: Rollerblading Halfway Across The Country For Charity
A lot of people have realized during this pandemic that there are only so many things you can do to entertain yourself before you get REALLY bored staying home.
That’s exactly what happened with these kids. Two college hockey players at University of Massachusetts who decided to cure their boredom in a creative, helpful way. They went out and bought some rollerblades and skated almost 900 miles from Massachusetts to Michigan. All while raising money for the American Cancer Society. They ended up raised over $25,000 dollars!
I know their hockey players and everything, but their legs must have been beat by the end of that trip.

Tell Me Something Good: An Interesting Concept Is Brewing In This Old Folks Home
The coronavirus pandemic is hard on everyone for all different reasons. But especially for seniors living in old folks’ homes around the country. Mostly because a lot of them can’t have visitors and are bored just sitting there in the facility every day.
This one assisted living home in Austin, TX has decided to keep their residents busy by teaching them how to brew beer! Usually home brewers are bored dads in their 30s and 40s trying to brew the perfect beer in their garage or basement. But for these residents this is actually the PERFECT activity for them. It takes a lot of time, requires you to use your mind, it’s fun, and you get the satisfaction at the end that you created something.
I wonder what kinds of beer they are brewing? Stouts maybe? Lagers? They don’t really seem like the IPA type.

Star At Home Session With powfu
I had a chance to jump on a zoom call with powfu the other day. What a great guy. It was a super fun talking to him about how his song death bed (coffee for your head) became so big on TikTok, growing up in Vancouver, and having a rock star dad as a kid.
I also got him to perform a live version of death bed (coffee for your head) live from his bedroom!
