Notice Us…

Notice Us…

In case you missed it last night on WERS 88.9. My man Gio Dee premiered his latest track “Notice Us” off his Fashionably Late album which drops Sunday 3/31 on iTunes. I was lucky enough to get a live rendition of this at the Morrissey

Dot Rat Radio – Nowhere USA

We finally got Mark Doherty over to the cave to talk about his band Nowhere USA, his experiences, struggles and his hopes for the future. It was a long time coming and it made for a good podcast.

Wicked Frauds?

Wicked Frauds?

I enjoy seeing 20 somethings party it up and get into mischief. Of course I understand this is supposed to be an incarnation of Jersey Shore. It brings me back to a simplier place and time in my life…and it can be a fun distraction.

Support the Dot Day Parade and win $10,000…

Support the Dot Day Parade and win $10,000…

That’s right folks….10 grand! The Dorchester Day Parade Committee is getting ready to hold it’s 10K Cocktail$ & Ca$h Golden Gala on Friday April 19th at Florian Hall from 6:30PM till midnight.

$100 will buy you a 1 in 300 chance to win $10,000 and admission for 2 to the Golden Gala. The Massachusetts State Lottery doesn’t produce odds like that my friends. I am personally taking some of this action!

If you would like to just attend the Golden Gala, tickets for admission are $25.

Proceeds go to support the 109th Dorchester Day Parade.

There will be additional raffles, Hors d’eouvres (or food for you Dot Rats), Dancing and Entertainment with a cash bar.

This is a great excuse to have a Dot Day party twice in one year!

Help support this great Dorchester tradition!

The Pipes of Boston…

The Pipes of Boston…

For me, nothing invokes a sense of pride and makes me think of our history more than the sounds of bag pipes on Saint Patty’s day. The pipes immediately make me think of all those who came before me and the struggles they endured. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XmIw3v5s80
