Jeff over at The Riptide has been doing some pretty awesome events lately that involve you eating and dancing for FREE. Remember this one and this one? Yeah, dude is not fucking around. This time for Wet Wednesday a professional chef ,who is one of the Riptide regulars, will be
FREE Hugh Raffles Reads about Bugs
The first time I went to the Natural History Museum at the Smithsonian, I spent about thirty seconds looking at the Hope Diamond. Then I went and spent at least a half an hour staring at bugs in glass tanks. Don’t get me wrong, I love shiny things. But I
Your Sunday: Charms, Cyclones and Retractions
Ah, March, you can be such a tease. You totally put out last weekend with your 70 degrees and above weather, then totally turn all frigid on us this weekend and say stuff like “I’m not ready for this”, ugh typical. For the real hardcore Coney enthusiasts, be one of

My So-Called Life Lessons
The degree to which I still identify with Angela Chase from My So-Called Life is probably something I shouldn’t post on the Internet because I’m 23 and she’s 15 and that’s really embarrassing. But honestly, who doesn’t want to travel back in time to sophomore year of high school and
