  • Show Take 2

    By Andrea Menzies

    Note on Assemblage 23: They fixed the ticket issue and gave me a refund on the second ticket! Yes I was stuck hunting for parking forever, and missed many songs. But I love Assemblage 23 shows no matter what happens, and I am glad they had the great taste to put on an amazing show. The first time I saw them I was in San Antonio, and the fire department almost shut the venue down for overselling tickets. Something weird always happens at shows close to selling out. My review is it was a great show.

  • 2025 Alexandria Menzies University Graduation

    2025 Alexandria Menzies University Graduation

    By Andrea Menzies

    Here are the Top Videos from Alexandria Menzies’ University Graduation from Maryland Washington last week. She finished classes in 2024, but she they let her walk across the stage this month in May 2025. People gave me a lot of crap for going out to wild concerts as a young woman, but if I did not love music a brainy University graduate would never have been born.

    My friend from school Eugene finally went home after having a good visit. It is really strange seeing friends you made in your school years later in life.

  • 2025 Magdalena Bay Show

    2025 Magdalena Bay Show

    By Andrea Menzies

    One of my favorite friends Eugene who is Zorak303 on Instagram visited from out of town this weekend. We went to see Magdalena Bay at the National, and lines were wrapped around the block. Then we went to the famous taco restaurant Gwar Bar nearby, and talked about New Orleans in modern day. Eugene and I hung out after a Gwar show at House of Blues when I lived in New Orleans so history came full circle at that moment. I was really stressed out about going back to get a Master’s degree at night school, and so I was really happy to have a friend visit cheer me up. Here are some highlights from the show. My review is the band is great!

    *Note I never go out in Richmond anymore because of the many non-stop horrible experiences I have had there and exclusively go out in Maryland. For Eugene I made the very rare exception.

    Outside the National Eugene and Andrea.
    Huge lines at the National.
    Logo at the National.
    Bathrooms at the National.
    Amazing light show.
    More amazing show at the National.
    Even more lights at the show.
    What happened to make them put this sign up?
    The National looks great from outside, but like all Richmond it has horrible problems underneath the surface. What is up with the nightmare toilet?
    Fancy show walls.
    End of show super costumes.
    The crowd goes wild at the show end.
    The crowd goes even more wild for a David Bowie cover song.
    Gwar Bar has tacos and nachos that are amazing. In addition the band Gwar put funny costumes all over the walls from their music tours. Eugene and I hung out after a Gwar show when I lived in New Orleans.

    One of my favorite friends Eugene or Zorak303 on Instagram that I went to school with in New Orleans visited Richmond this weekend. We went to the Poe Museum, Panera Bread, Magdalena Bay at The National, and Gwar Bar taco restaurant. Here are some Poe Museum and Panera Bread highlights.

  • New Rack New Travel

    New Rack New Travel

    By Andrea Menzies

    Good news as I got a new bicycle rack and invited to go to DC travel. The next few weekends I will be going away on extra long trips to DC and Maryland towns to stay at friends houses and camping. I have seen nothing but a horrible toilet for nightlife in middle Virginia, but I have a car and can get away so it all works out. Sometimes you have to have a bad weekend to remind you of how great the good ones are. Thank heavens for good concerts, camping, bike trails, and bike groups in the area or my eyeballs would explode with boredom.

  • First Month Phoenix

    First Month Phoenix

    By Andrea Menzies

    I made all A grades in my first month as a University of Phoenix Master’s Degree student in the Masters of Education program. I have been planning on enrolling for years, but my student loans were blocked. Also it is intimidating going to school as an adult, and juggling my teaching day job with night school. This is why I went to online school as it is organized well for working adults. Thankfully, the conflict is resolved and school is going well this month. I enjoy having real challenges for the year.

    P.S. : There will be no podcast this week due to massive homework exhaustion. The final exam all nighters have been epic.

  • School Placement

    School Placement

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am so glad the hiring event I went to today confirmed I am able to get a school job placement in other towns. The night school program I am taking has jobs in far away towns on the border of Virginia and other states so I can get out of this horror toilet state for road trips on the weekends. All the Valentine’s Day store items make me hate Richmond more completely. I used to enjoy weekend dating when I was younger, but in Richmond, VA I have only met the most disgusting abusive human sewage I have ever seen in my life. The pathetic night life makes meeting people impossible. The loneliness of this pain pit is indescribable agony.
