    Best Video

    By Andrea Menzies

    This is my best video from the VNV Nation Electric Sun Tour concert. If you are anywhere near this tour you must go! They are a staple at Goth clubs in Seattle, but are Top 40 on radio overseas. Ronan Harris the lead singer got his eye hurt by a bright video light before this clip. He cussed at the video person. Then Ronan said. “Sorry but I am Irish and for us cussing is like punctuation!” I am from an Irish family too, and I can verify that this is freaking true. Sorry for the image quality but I was energetically dancing with joy the entire show. My legs are so sore it was like a million aerobic classes in one night, but so worth it. I love Silver Springs, MD and want to move there the show was so good.

  • Away Week

    By Andrea Menzies

    Any week where I get time away from Virginia is a good week. I have hated Virginia with all my soul, and am saving every penny with extra jobs to move away from the sewage pit.

  • Not On Bridge

    By Andrea Menzies

    I was not on the bridge, and am safe. I often go to concerts in the DC, and Baltimore area. Many people therefore have asked me about it and no I have many issues but thankfully bridge death is not one. I wish the best for the sick and injured that were not so lucky.

  • Showtime Out Of Town

    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.

    Local band stickers all around.
