Turns out I have COVID and can’t make it to KMFDM. It is a bummer week for news.

Showtime Out Of Town
By Andrea Menzies
I had a great time seeing music concerts out of town this weekend. It is official music venues outside of Virginia have bounced back better after the pandemic. A guy even bought me free french fries so my weekend went extra well. The last few times I went out locally con-artists tried to rob me constantly so I am a travel fan now.
By mistake I took a blue photo of myself and it ended up being cute. 
Buildings by the venue. 
Dark and scary show lights. 
Brooklyn Grilled Food nearby. 
Early Joan Jett tribute art. 
Local band stickers all around.

Tuesday Issue
I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans and an issue with that is how massive my home sickness for the South is when the entire Internet shows me photos of how great was the Mardi Gras party I just missed. If I can’t get to my old apartment it is a reminder to get out to events more in the towns near me. That used to be my normal neighborhood, and I used to have that many guys to choose from for dating.

Valentine’s Day Alone
By Andrea Menzies
Another Valentine’s Day alone in Virginia with no boyfriend or husband at all, and I hate being alone. I have a completed University degree from Loyola University New Orleans, but online dating apps and clubs have only introduced me to really abusive, mean, retarded, and dumb dates in Virginia. The worst I have seen with my eyeballs. Time for road trips.

Road Trip
By Andrea Menzies
It is still my soul deep vow to NEVER go out at night downtown in a Virginia city again. Other towns I still love concerts and dance music in. Any suggestions for events on weekends in February for road trips please message me?

Travel Cancelled
By Andrea Menzies
I had to do a temporary cancel on travel by Amtrak train and car pooling to see concerts as an Icy Death Snow Blast slammed Virginia a second week. If you can’t drive the roads or take trains well it is what it is, and you just have to deal with it. It strengthens my resolve to ride bikes more in Spring as stormy ice from excessive use of gas cars is blamed by scientists as a major cause of global warming by this good article “Why We Still Have Brutal Cold Snaps” by CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/15/climate/why-extreme-cold-during-global-warming/index.html

Music Travel
By Andrea Menzies
I saw many great shows in DC, Norfolk, and Fredericksburg before the pandemic. I even saw Depeche Mode rock the stadium in DC. Thankfully many shows are at last returning to the areas around north Virginia and DC, and I plan to begin checking out shows again. As a single lady with no boyfriend or husband I have to increase my social area to meet people and date. Message me if you’re interested in car pooling.

Top Teacher Photos of the Month
By Andrea Menzies
Here are my Top 10 Teacher Photos Of The Month. I have included a filter free photo of myself. I am still employed as a teacher, and I love how it uses my fully complete University degree from Loyola University New Orleans to help students daily. Heaven knows the huge amounts I owe in student loans verifies how long I have been to school.

Anti Prejudice Post
By Andrea Menzies
I am against prejudice in all its forms including racism, sexism, and religious persecution. The troubles in the middle east in the news have made saying this clearly more necessary lately. I had an ex boyfriend who became a narrow minded bigot, and many people falsely thought I agreed with him. It is very narrow minded and sexist to think all women share the politics of their worst ex boyfriend. Religious discrimination is the systematic mistreatment due to religious beliefs of people, and should NOT be tolerated in moderation times.
