The sounds of St. Paddy’s…
So I’m running around today, beating up old ladies for the last point cut corned beef, chasing down beers and perhaps some Bushmills. And then I paused for a second….and started to really think about tomorrow, my family and my history. We showed up here …
Dot Rat Rock…
Meet Bryan McPherson, a Dot Rat with incredible song writing skills and a new album “American Boy American Girl” dropping April 17th which you can check out here. You can’t help but notice Bryan’s Dylan influences….but between you and I Bryan is a little easier on the ears. He delivers with a blue collar edge you would expect from a Dorchester native.

Bryan has performed with our beloved Dropkick Murphy’s and has opened for one of my all time favorites….Chuck Berry.

So….fellow Dot Rat Emily Sweeney of the Boston Globe is gearing up to release her book in about 47 days.

We certainly like our sauce in this part of the country…
I’m sure she’s done an incredible job….I only wish I could snag a few for Christmas gifts.

Boombalotty’s Honorary Dot Rat…
I want to officially nominate Wes Welker as an honorary Dot Rat. I mean, the adjectives are endless with this guy. He’s hard-working, He’s fast, He has a great first step and best of all, whenever he gets walloped, which is often, he just stands …
Who is Boombalotty?
Boombalotty is half man half amazing. He’s the official minister of propaganda for dotrat.com. He has a pulse on the sports world, an ear for gossip and the Phantom Gourmet can’t even come close to his food reviews.
