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.

Boston Bands Bonanza

Three of my favorite Boston bands have shows coming up in Cambridge at the Lizard Lounge in the next few weeks. Sparkola is celebrating the release of their second album Handclaps and Slapbacks on the 24th. Rose Polenzani has a month-long residency at the Lounge every Tuesday throughout November and the really good ...

One BloggerCon Photo

I took a few photos at BloggerCon's pre-conference party that I helped organize. Unfortunately most of the photos did not turn out so well. That's what I get for buying cheap film. Next time it's back to the good stuff. One photo I took of Michael Feldman and Adam Curry turned out ...

What She Said

I've had some sort of mix of a cold, allergies and the martian death flu for the past month. I'm not feeling all that eloquent today; but fortunately Wendy is. The photos I took at the Bloggercon Pre-Conference Party Friday night did not turn out so well. It might be the cheap film or ......

Recall the Recall?

Last night was reminiscent of a night not too long ago. Yet again, a Republican won a race that seemed way out of their league. I'm glad I don't live in California and now have Arnold Schwarzenegger as my governor. I'm embarassed by it and I don't even live there. Howard ...

These are Days

These are days you'll remember. Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this. And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky. It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you. These are days you'll remember....

Good Times

Tonight's BloggerCon pre-party upstairs at The Hong Kong was a good time. A couple weeks ago I offered to find a venue and set up the party to help out the very busy Wendy and Dave. Other than the Geek Pride Festival in 2000, it's been a while since I had anything to ...

Iceland Airwaves … Maybe Next Year?

The Iceland Airwaves Festival is coming up in Reykjavik October 15-19. I've wanted to attend this music festival since the first one a couple years ago. Once again it's time to say "Maybe next year." Starting at $499 you can fly to Iceland, stay in a decent hotel and attend the festivities. ...

BloggerCon Kickoff Party Tonight Upstairs at The Hong Kong Restaurant’s Lounge

Dave Winer, the host of this weekend's BloggerCon conference, and Adam Curry are sponsoring a kickoff party tonight upstairs at The Hong Kong Restaurant's Lounge in Harvard Square for conference attendees. On Sunday (Day 2), there's an assortment of free panels and discussions open to anyone who wants to participate. I confess I was a...

Sushi for Dean on November 15th

Howard Dean supporters around the United States are planning events during the weekend of Governor Dean's 55th birthday. I haven't hosted a sushi party in over a year so it seemed like a good idea to have Sushi for Dean on November 15th. I should know in a few days where it is ...

Dinner at ZuZu and Sondre Lerche at TT’s on November 14th

Sondre Lerche is embarking on a headlining tour around the U.S. next month. He'll be at TT the Bear's on Friday, November 14th. Anyone interested in meeting up the street on Mass Ave at ZuZu, home of the oddly named yet excellent Middle Eastern version of the Pu Pu Platter and tasty bourbon-infused ...
