Today we went to #sundaybrunch at @popsforitalian Today we went to #sundaybrunch at @popsforitalian in #ferndale. The food was great and everybody behaved. Special thanks to the young guy who yelled to me something like, “dingdang hot mama Zowie pow, you a hot!” I looked at him dumbfounded since im almost  #25weekspregnant (yay for viability)and feeling very round and duck-like.” I guess some ppl like that sort of thing.🤷🏼‍♀️ The weather is so perfect so afterwards we drove around to do our #marketplace pickups and got some free formula and laundry baskets.  Anybody pay a service to do their laundry? I’m sick of laundry, we have too much.

We didn’t tell them what we were doing until we got there so it was fun to see their happy and surprised faces. I really liked the setup because it was more about imaginative and interactive play instead of just a playground. They did a good job at representing the show that our family has all grown to love since it’s talked about daily. Anyways, here is the first set off pics. #momlife #kidfun

    A Closer Look at Jack White’s Third Man Records (Photos of Orlando Calling, Commentary, and Recommendations)

    November 20, 2011 / 1 Comment

    Jack White III grew up in Southwest Detroit as one of ten children. He flirted with the idea of life careers in priesthood and upholstery, but instead became the frontman for The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. He has also created the most innovative record label that is doing great things for music. Third Man Records was originally created in Detroit in 2001, but didn’t have a physical location until 2009 in Nashville, TN. The location offers a record store, a record label, photo studio, dark room. recording booth, production office, distribution center and a performance space. When talented artists are passing through Nashville, Jack White invites…

    The Raconteurs at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans (Photos, Setlist & Concert Review)

    November 2, 2011 / 2 Comments

    Members: Jack White, Jack Lawrence,Brendan Benson, Patrick Keeler http://theraconteursfans.com http://www.theraconteurs.com Voodoo Fest was wise to have The Raconteurs close out the main stage, because their performance was the best of the weekend. During the show, Jack White remarked that he had been in Detroit the day before and that his hometown, New Orleans, and Memphis all had the same kind of vibe. After “Rich Kid Blues” Jack silenced the crowd with a dark, dirty, ever-so-slow guitar solo preceding “Blue Veins” that showed the mesmerized crowd that he was indeed a true original. During his solo, his head tilted slightly and a small smile crept across his face as if he was thinking…

    The Black Belles @ MI Fest (Photos & Review)

    September 26, 2011 / 4 Comments

    The Black Belles could be seen throughout the day checking out different performances at MI Fest. Meanwhile many festival attendees had the Black Belles slated as one of the top new groups that they wanted to see at the festival. Jack White discovered the group and is helping them to make their presence known with the release of an album in November. Smart move Jack! The girls impressed the crowd with their modern blend of grunge and soul. Photographing them was a blast with their striking good looks and strong stage presence. Check out the photos… The Black Belles

    Photos of the Moment: The Third Man Rolling Record Store!

    September 25, 2011 / 0 Comments

    It’s been a week since MI fest and I’m still reflecting on the great mix of music that I heard. The Third Man Records Rolling Record Store was another great part of the MI Fest experience. It’s hard to imagine that one little ‘ol truck can bring about such excitement but it was the first thing I looked for upon entering the MI Fest grounds. One of the cool things that Third Man Records is doing is inviting selected artists that are traveling through Nashville to stop at Third Man Studio and record a single which is then made available on 7″ vinyl. All of these singles and more were…

    Pujol @ MI Fest (Photos)

    September 20, 2011 / 0 Comments

    Puhol, another one to watch from Third Man Records, describes his music as “Southern Gothic Rock.” The label’s site has an amusing bio well worth sharing… “Pujol was raised in Tullahoma, TN where he lived in a haunted house which sat one block away from the wrong side of the tracks.  He spent his formative years scribbling on walls, shredding behind closed doors, and riding around in cars with older kids.  He took his first communion at 13 and secretly drank his first beer shortly thereafter in St. Cecilia’s bathroom, emerging an identity-inclusive Peter Panentheist. When asked at the tender age of 4 what he wanted to be when he…
