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.

Summertime in Harvard Square

Just a few photos I took a few weeks ago while wandering around Harvard Square. Click each image for a larger photo. A banner hanging up outside the Harvard Square T. Someone drew an enormous circle/canvas on the sidewalk area across the street from Wordsworth. Michael added a map of the United States. A performance...

Linked Up With Howard Dean

Howard Dean's zany Internet team is unveiling DeanLink, another opportunity for Dean supporters around the country to connect with each other. It's similiar to Friendster but looks more useful and focused on politics. And it's all about our favorite guy in politics. A few hours after I set up my account, Frank ...

Howard Dean’s Rally in NYC Tonight

We didn't make it to New York City today for Howard Dean's rally in Bryant Park tonight, alas. Mike is enjoying the festivities close to the stage according to the IM messages he sent me a few minutes ago. Apparently we should look for the red Philly for Dean banner stage left about ...

Rose Polenzani’s New Tune and Club Passim’s Cutting Edge of the Campfire Festival

Rose Polenzani recorded "Girl", a new song on her 4-track, and shared it for download in the listening room of her website. It's a fun little tune that is a departure from her usual style of folk+rock. It's definately more rock than folk. Good stuff! Rose has several shows with Lorna Hunt during ...

Cynthia Von Buhler’s New Gallery and Loft in New York City

Visual artist and performer Cynthia Von Buhler escaped Boston for New York City last year. Tonight she's hosting a reception at CVB, her new gallery and loft space. Based on photos on the website, the space looks very interesting and includes a large gallery, darkroom, theater and more. Is there anything like this in ......

Everyone Needs a Theme Song

Michael wrote an excellent theme song in honor of John Ashcroft's multi-city tour promoting the Patriot Act. Rumor has it a holiday carolling book is in the works, too.

Boston to NYC Bus for Howard Dean’s Sleepless Summer Rally?

I was hoping the Mass For Dean group would be able to get a bus organized for the upcoming Howard Dean rally in New York City on Monday, August 26th. Mike in Philadelphia (who is responsible for the Phillies jersey that Dean wore at the recent rally in Philadelphia) contacted the Mass For Dean ......

Howard Dean’s Sleepless Summer Tour : NYC August 26th

The rally finishes up in New York City's Bryant Park on the 26th from 8:30pm-11pm at 42nd Street between 5th and 6th. If my notebook computer didn't weight 4,000 pounds ...

Asking For It

Kristen Fischer, a senior editor at ESPN.com wrote an article a couple weeks ago about the Kobe Bryant case that is actually worth reading compared to the bizarro coverage most of the press has given it. One news program shortly after the story broke went on and on about how Kobe's product deals might ......

Getting to Know Boston : The Mapparium

The list of places in Boston I haven't been to since moving to the area from Nebraska in 1994 is embarassingly long. Today I took one of those items off my list: the Mapparium! It's a three-story stained glass globe of the world that you can walk through (on a glass bridge) located ...

Late Night Trips to CVS

Late last night Michael and I realized we were out of two important things: toothpaste and contact lens solution. Most everything in Arlington closes by 10pm so we hopped in the car and drove to the CVS in Porter Square. Who knew it would be such a happening place at 1:45am? We were fourth ......
