Welcome to the life and times of Sooz where I've been documenting my work and life adventures since 2002. Work = Sooz Media, my consulting business for web marketing, website project management, event planning and event photography. Life = shooting concert videos + photography, cooking for friends at The Granitorium, and scheming with my favorite Boston bands.

Cowboy Junkies at The Iron Horse

To celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Michael+Sooz collaboration, we saw the Cowboy Junkies perform their second show of the night on Thursday. It was wonderful. We got into Northampton around 5:30 and spent the first few hours before the 9:30 show wandering around, checking out cool shops and of course there was ...

Sondre Lerche comes to Boston

I've blathered on about Sondre Lerche before; but now it seems he's actually going to be in the Boston area (well, Cambridge) in a few weeks. This is excellent news for sure. When he makes his way to TT The Bear's in Central Square he'll be embarking on the second leg of his ...

Cary Pierce live at Club Passim and online tonight

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it to Cary Pierce's solo show at Club Passim tonight in Harvard Square. But that's mostly OK because Club Passim is broadcasting the show online. Tune in at 8pm EST for a great show by a heartfelt and superb singer/songwriter.

Going wireless

P.K. wrote a helpful entry on his website about setting up a wireless ethernet bridge for his new Boston loft. I've been wanting to go wireless for a while and yesterday he also wrote that Panera Bread has Wi-Fi! The local Starbucks has it, too, but you have to be a T-Mobile customer which ......

An 80s party sequel

Michael and I have been talking about throwing a sequel to the 80s costume party we hosted October 2001. The admission cost will probably be a contribution to the door prize/contest box o' stuff. Hello, eBay! For the last party we went a little nutty spending money on eBay buying all sorts of ...

Peter Wolf at The Middle East

This is what rock and roll is all about. Most artists phone it in compared to Peter Wolf (J. Geils Band) who performed two cabaret-style shows Friday May 9 and Saturday May 10 at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge. I joined Anne for the Saturday show. 450 people filled the club ...

Rock & Roll Library needs a web team!

The Rock & Roll Library is looking for a team of people to take on the roles of (1) webmaster/project manager, (2) web editor/writers and (3) web developers. RRL is a very fun, worthwhile organization. They need help from talented people who can offer a few hours each week for a 3+ month ...

Iceland Airwaves 2003

Maybe this could be the year to finally make it to Iceland Airwaves? Reasonable airfares plus a cool place to visit and music! Festivities are schedule for October 15-19, 2003 in Reykjavik.

Cowboy Junkies

I've been a fan of the Cowboy Junkies off-and-on for years; but I've never had a chance to see them live. Fortunately that changes soon when Michael and I see them at their second show of the night at the Iron Horse in Northampton on May 29th. It seemed like a fun way ...

Free agent lunch on the 15th

I host an event called free agent lunch mostly monthly. The next gathering is coming up on Thursday, May 15th at Bertucci's Restaurant in Cambridge adjacent to the Alewife T station on the red line. Want to join us?

250 cattle poisoned in Nebraska

The other day Michael showed me a CNN article with the above title, 250 cattle poisoned in Nebraska. Anytime Nebraska comes up on the news, in a newspaper, etc. he points it out to me. Since I grew up there perhaps there is a chance I know every Nebraskan mentioned in the news, right? ......
