Another Show
By Andrea Menzies
Wow I can’t understand how another show is gone. Their arguments are so weak they cannot withstand any debate? I am not a Disney Plus subscriber, but now I am NEVER going to be after this crap.
A good point.

County Fair
By Andrea Menzies
It is almost county fair time here in Chesterfield. One good thing about the area I am in is the fair with rides and music is only a 30 minute bike ride away from my house.

Voltaire At Renegade Arlington
By Andrea Menzies
Aurelio Voltaire played the Renegade Arlington club last night. He is a musician and book author that has done soundtracks for heroes and villains in many movies and cartoons for MTV, Adventure Quest 3D video game, and Cartoon Network. Despite pointing at his performing face many times my Google Pixel phone took incredibly detailed photos of the lady’s glasses in front of me, and completely blurred his face. Still it was a fun night at a good show.
The two storied Renegade nightclub in Arlington, VA and is super fun inside the restaurant and nightclub. Huge TV screens near the stage show the dancing and music from many angles. The tasty gourmet food is great to eat next to the dancefloor lights and sound system. Unfortunately it is next to 3 huge Universities and Arlington National Cemetery. So it has all the parking problems of major Universities mixed with the tourist sections of DC parking. It has always amazed me how University areas claim to have the smartest people in the world, and yet NEVER calculate how much parking they will need! Unless you have a Star Trek teleporter hidden in your house getting there is very challenging! I had to park a mile away behind a Baptist Church playground. Most of my makeup dripped off my face in the record heat wave. I brought tennis shoes in my bag. I wished I brought my bike.
I did bring a large bag with his latest book in it, and got it signed at the book signing after waiting in a super long line. I am glad I bought the tickets months in advance the show was almost sold out. The Halloween party guacamole recipes are my favorite part of his book. I have seen Voltaire play at the Elysium in Austin when I lived there. I have seen him play at The Goat in New Orleans where I used to live, and graduated from a University program in the area. I have even seen him play in Portland and Seattle near my aunt’s houses. I have seen him play virtual shows in the Adventure Quest 3D video game that is free to play on Steam on talk like a pirate day. This show will always be a sentimental favorite due to my living and working jobs in a new area when I really needed to see something fun and familiar. My review is the Aurelio Voltaire show was great and the new album is worth buying as I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
The latest album promotion photo for Aurelio Voltaire.
Sometimes you wanna go where many Red Bull cans are stacked next to Cheers mats where they serve drinks. After walking a mile in one million degree heat this area is important to know. My face is amused in this picture. 
A great picture of the lady in front of me having sunglasses. Blurry in the background is Voltaire. 
Amazing shots of the lady in front of me having sunglasses. I pointed at Voltaire 50 times and it didn’t focus. 
My face is spooky nightclub lights. Almost all my makeup was washed away by sweating at this point it was a record heat wave. 
The Renegade Arlington club has huge overhead TV screens showing their concert from many angles. It is showing the Renegade Arlington logo in this shot.

Bashing Call
By Andrea Menzies
Protesters hearing the call for justice are being bashed down this week. I joined several Feminist Alliance groups online to protest against Trump this week. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital twice, and protesters were being bashed down super hard so I had to cancel going. Violation of the right of free speech is being tossed around like a frisbee this week in the USA. I got an e-bike because my family worked travel jobs when I was a kid, and I saw people riding bikes and folding e-bikes to clean well funded public transportation in other countries all the time. We have been completely fooled in the United States to think that well funded public transportation, schools, rights, and healthcare must be impossible dreams as poorer countries already have them daily. Meanwhile we have a president that thinks a 400 million dollar fossil fuel using airplane for daily personal use is an okay transport option.

People have been using e-bikes to get to public transportation that allows bikes on board in Europe and Asia for decades already. 
Uber and Lyft are rip offs compared to real transportation solutions other countries have. Meanwhile our president thinks a 400 million sky airplane for personal use is normal. https://bsky.app/profile/petebuttigieg.bsky.social/post/3lrgpulzfls2t

Record Bike
By Andrea Menzies
I was feeling so much better today I set a record for my longest bike ride on the Strava app. The new bike is working great! I am glad I finally have a working bike as the weather is good enough for it. I have a ton of night school research homework to do, and having transportation to the library for homework is a much needed school tool for productivity.

Baby Chickens
By Andrea Menzies
Today was a baby chicken day at Motoaca High. I am a teacher there many times a year, and some of the science projects had the life cycle of chickens on display. The cuteness was making my eyes burst.
