The great thing about this time of year is that we are closer to spring than we were last month.  Wow, what powers of observation I have.  Seriously, spring is around the corner.  I see squirrels chasing each other during the day, and raccoons running rampant at night.  And dead skunks in the middle of [...]

This is an amazing weekend. the weather looks good, and there are so many things to do it is staggering.  Connecticut is truly alive with activities, and it gets harder every week to keep up on what’s going on, but I am looking for some interns to help gather and load. When I say that [...]

As always, where ever you turn in Connecticut, there is something going on. A little bit of everything for everyone, and so here is a quick snapshot of what we got going on.
Let’s start with music tonite. Why not two birds with one stone. How about Wicked Peach at Margaritaville at The Mohecan Sun? Actually, [...]

First off, congrats to Christine Baldwin who will  be checking out Cris Barron at “The Kate“. And thanks to Chuck Still, executive director for making it happen. we will be doing more of this in the future, so stand by for more free tickets, to more great venues.

The weather looks good for this weekend. No snow, and rain isn’t supposed to start til Sunday, when a lot of us are going to be indoors watching football anyways. Better yet, head on down to your local watering hole such as The Country Tavern or Augur’s and take advantage of those promo’s that [...]

The best way to keep up spirits and enjoy the coldest season: warming up with heartfelt and sensuous sounds from four lovely leading ladies of music – and adding a little wine!  Three locally based, all four are accomplished writers of song as well as talented interpreters of song.  Lauren Agnelli, Marni Rice, Sandra Lichter [...]

I am releasing the weekend update early, as I feel that it is very important to get the word out about Friday night’s show at The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center. Mathew Male, Lauren Agnelli, and the rest of the musicians normally associated with The Small Town Concert series, will be joining forces with the [...]

As we truly start this great holiday season, always remember that there are so  many in need in this great state of ours. Many are obvious, but many are not. because of sudden loss of employment, or cutbacks, many of are friends and neighbors suddenly find themselves in a position that that never thought [...]

It is an absolutely huge weekend in Connecticut, and to all of us, the true kickoff to the holiday season. At Shoreline Out and About, we never forget all that we have, and we are grateful, and want to give thanks to all of our faithful readers. We will be doing our best to keep [...]

It’s all over this great state. And the best part of it is that you are not driving hours to get to any of these great events. The last thing I need to hear from anyone,is that there is nothing to do this weekend. You name it, and it’s happening, right here, and right now. [...]

What we have is a list of choices, and there are some really incredible things going on. So, let’s get to it.
First you have The Shoreline Art Trail. Artisans up and down the Shoreline showing their talent in there studios. A great way to spend a lazy fall day. Start at the opposite end of [...]

Kind of a cold and crappy day out there, so, definite indoor activity day. Despite the weather, there is some really cool stuff going down, and you do have options.
First is a “Operation Home for the Holidays” This is an initiative started by Governor Rell to bring our National Guard troops home for the holidays. [...]
