As I enter the venue, I hear the tail end of Boys Like Girls’ set: “The Great Escape.” Until Saturday, that was all I had ever seen of them. (The Bobby Bones ticket says 2008 but I promise it was 2007. They also misspelled “anniversary” so who knows what was going on.) I know, I know. It’s hard to believe.

By Stephanie Robinson I’m in a book club. In this book club, we alternate three people each time to choose an author, narrow down to three books, and ultimately pick the book we’re all reading.

By: Stephanie Robinson When is the last time you thought about Cake? The band, not the confection. If your answer is anything other than today YOU ARE WRONG.
