Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Following the original The Guardians of the Galaxy movie is not an easy task. That film came out of nowhere to excite so many and showed that Marvel was willing to play with some of the weirder characters from its long history (Iron Man wans't top iter, but I also

Nine Inch Nails 2022

Heather and I got to go see Nine Inch Nails at the Red Hat Amphitheater last night for the opening stop of their 2022 tour. We haven’t been to this venue before. It’s on the smaller side as it only holds ~6k people. The actual performance was good,
