The North Haven Fair B Wille Smith AND Christine Ohlman

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On September - 9 - 2011

All in one weekend. Usually a tough decision , but not this weekend. You see, B Willie is headling at the North Haven Fair tonight, so you can do the mutli tasking thing. Get all the great fair foods like raised doughnuts, apple fritters, fried dough pizza, and so much more and catch B Wille [...]

Beach Jam For Breast Cancer, Shoreline Wine Festival, AND Blink182

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On August - 12 - 2011

Sometimes it’s just amazing, almost eerie, actually, how things just fall into place. It’s Wednesday, and I want to kick it up a notch for Beach jam for Breast Cancer. A very good friend of mine is battling this right now, and The Yale Breast Cancer Center at Smilow Hospital did an amazing job for [...]

The Weekend Update: Iron Maidens and Iron Horses

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On July - 22 - 2011

Absolutely blazing today, Kinda remionds me of my days on Okinawa and in the backwoods of Camp Lejeune. Actually a little bit cooler here, but pretty damn close. It could be worse. Dallas has had temps over 100 degrees for almost 3 weeks straight. And the first person to say it’s a dry heat will [...]

Friday Night Update

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On July - 8 - 2011

Going to break it up a little this weekend. There are so many things going on, I kinda have to. So, here’s just a few things to get you going. Of course, these are also in the Ct Events Calendar, but some of these just came across my various Social media accounts, so i want [...]

Mystic Seaport’s Wooden Boat Show, Music, and The Luck Of The Irish

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On June - 24 - 2011

This weekend is looking a little on the wet side, so why not talk wooden boats? After yesterday’s deluge, it almost makes me want to build one. I actually had to get off of I-95 because of the torrential downpour. Okay, just needed to take a nap, so the timing was good. Seriously, don’t let [...]

Going to focus on three great shows this weekend. The only problem, at least for me is that they are all Sunday, and in different parts of the state. Even this road warrior would have a hard time making all three. Let’s start in Milford. The Bernadettes, The Gate House Band, and Prime Time join [...]

Weekend Update: Connecticut Is Hopping

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On June - 3 - 2011

There’s something about a the first weekend in June that makes you just fell good. The state is really showing everything it has to offer. As I program the Ct Events Calendar 2011 with more and diverse events, I am amazed at what happens everyday. First off, just a few of the Farmers Markets going [...]

Memorial Day Weekend Update

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On May - 27 - 2011

The way I see it, the past few weekends were pretty much a warmup. Memorial Day weekend “officially” starts the real fun. I have been going ballistic on the Ct Events Calendar, trying to find as many diverse things as I possibly can. The focus over the next month is going to be summer concerts [...]

Funny, The Afterlife Seems Just Like The Last One.

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On May - 21 - 2011

Reality is we all knew that this whole Judgement Day thing was the ranting of some old crazy bastard who’s church used it to get members and money, and for the most part, we all had fun with it. I only have two questions. How many of us had just a little thought way in [...]

The Friday Update: Hey, You Only Have One Day To Party. Period.

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On May - 20 - 2011

Or maybe i should end the headline with “End of Story‘ or maybe “End of Days“. How about “Whatever” ? I am a little fed up with this, but hey, like the “real news” outlets,I gotta go with it. Big difference with me? I really don’t care about being PC about it in the least [...]

The Update: Time To Have Fun!

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On May - 13 - 2011

I have been waiting for this time of year. This is the first weekend when I can honestly say that there is something for everyone to do. Doesn’t matter age or location, Connecticut is hopping. Don’t believe me? You calling me out? K. Here we go. Got that classic cruiser you been working on?  Spent [...]

The Update: 600,001 Daffodils Can’t Be Wrong

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On April - 29 - 2011

So, I just got done with my commentary on Facebook on the Royal Wedding. I can understand the fairy tale aspect of this, but let.s be realistic here. Is it really news? Is it really worth all the hype ? I was doing my segment with Steve Savino of WQUN yesterday, which is always a [...]

The Update:Good Friday,Great Thoughts

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On April - 22 - 2011

I just had a great memory, but a little back story first. I grew up in North Guilford many moons ago. Although it was not Appalachia, all the “townies” ( anyone south of Rt 80) called us “rednecks”. Most of our families had farms. We were as likely to cast a fishing line as throw [...]

The Update:2Cat,Samurai, Branded, And Twisted Nut

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On April - 15 - 2011

Isn’t it just kinda evil on Mother Nature’s part to give us two nice Spring days, and part of Saturday, and then….. Love that video. Something about Annie Lennox. She’s like scary hot. More scary than hot. But I digress, let’s get into the weekend scene. I like the fact that this weekend for that [...]

The Update: All Four Barrels And Mass Confusion

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On April - 8 - 2011

Tonight is very cool as I get a chance to stay close, check out a new place, and see a band I am very familiar with. My good friends Four Barrel Billy will be laying down at New Deal Steakplace in Westbrook. The same new deal that has been voted Middlesex counties best steak house [...]
