Delicious Exercise: “Le Tour de Farms”
What could be better than eating a whole bunch of delicious local food and working off all of the calories with a scenic bike ride? Sounds like my idea of a good day. If it sounds like yours, too, you may want to attend the first annual Addison County “Tour de Farms” this Sunday. Here…
An Open Letter to VitaminWater
Dear VitaminWater: On behalf of the St. Michael’s College community, thanks for sending some of your college reps by our campus one afternoon last week in a big fancy VitaminWater van to hand out free samples of your product. I still prefer good old fashioned normal water, and in fact I’ll probably never spend any…
Public Radio…what! what!
Carl Kasell. Garrison Keilor. Eye on the Sky. Sound familiar? If yes,then congratulations, you are a nerd. A VPR nerd, that is. zing.

A cavalcade of stars are scheduled to appear: James Kochalka, Cccome?, Hot…
Bad Cats, Bad!
Some email scorn from the UVM administration: This weekend has been called by some Burlington residents “the worst ever” in terms of noise, public drunkenness, etc. An e-mail to me highlighted that the behavior this past weekend “disturbed families with young children; working people; and elderly folks. And, in some cases has caused issues for…

This week’s Seven Days has the most extensive review of local chicken wings delivery ever compiled. Winging It takes the study of the hot wing to a brand new level of criticism, looking very closely at four local establishments in…
South End Art Hop on Stuck in Vermont
I just watched Eva’s Art Hop episode of “Stuck in Vermont” and felt compelled to post it here. I know I’m biased, because I’m Eva’s editor, but I love her work. She really has an eye for what makes this such a vibrant and quirky community. And no, I’m not just posting this video because…

What A Weekend
So, I had quite an eventful weekend, if I may say so. Friday evening was, of course, the South End Art Hop, which proved once again to be one of the most awesome things about Burlington. I got to see lots of cool art, mingle with cool people, and hear cool music — although I…
