Let's rock, Tri-State!

When I was just a young, bright-eyed lad, I dreamed of shattering the air between a stage and throngs of fans who believed my talent was nothing short of the latest miracle.

So I got a job to buy a guitar, I bought a guitar to start a band, I started a band to tour the world. However, with the level of dedication I was willing to give the guitar, I was barely able to tour a street corner and an open mic night on a jewelry store porch both about 10 minutes from my house.

I lost all hope as a rock star. Shortly after, an English teacher I knew said that I could write fairly well. That is when I discovered the joy of critiquing those who succeeded where I failed, the joy of passing my love to the masses.

My intention, you lucky little Internet wanderer, is to bring you the latest and greatest entertainment news in Huntington, the nation and the world.

I only hope writers have the same benefits and luxuries as rock stars. I will let you know if that turns out to be true, but as of yet I have not seen a single kid air-typing to a sweet new article.

This is where you can find what I have found to do in the world of entertainment, particularly how it pertains to the Tri-State. You can find me all over Huntington in venues, bars, clubs and just about anywhere else you find music.

Unfortunately — if you are the sort to peer through windows — you may see me in an embarrassing kickback to my past. Yes, I do occasionally throw on my Fender Stratocaster, crank up the volume on my MP3 player and rock out in front of the bathroom mirror.

My dream may be in a sad sort of coma, but it is far from dead. Read my words, believe half of them and enjoy all the Tri-State has to offer.
