Top 5 shows of the weekend

It was all going so well last week, I’d fled the country and escaped the terrible heatwave and was enjoying far more mild temperatures, only to be hit with it’s own heatwave and no air conditioning for relief. For all it’s faults, there are fewer better feelings than landing back in New York after you’ve […]

Happy memorial day weekend! As we consider those who have died while serving the country, it’s also a good time to be grateful that rates of war and battle deaths have gone down dramatically. So all the more reason to raise a glass to those who have both lost their lives, and for, hopefully, more […]

It’s that time of the year where people who have seen a picture of a four leaf clover, but probably couldn’t find Ireland on a map, think they’re Irish. What you should do this weekend instead, is check out these great shows.

And though still dealing with winter conditions, there’s that ray of hope that this month starts signaling the end of winter. In the meantime, there are some excellent […]

Love is in the air, or not, this weekend; I’ll be able to help with the latter. Hopefully it’s a long one for all, however, with President’s Day on Monday. Forget about the potential -18 degrees Celsius temperatures (come on people, let’s stop using Fahrenheit, it’s so unbecoming and idiotic), wrap up warm and get […]

This is the first weekend in which David Bowie no longer exists (and now, also tragically, Alan Rickman); still a hard concept to process. As the great man said, “I know when to go out, and when to stay in”, might I suggest the former this weekend. I’m not giving you much chance to put on your […]
