Last Wednesday, while driving back from an appointment in New York City, I checked my phone messages. Yes, I used a hands-free device, they do make such items for a BlackBerry 7803e phone. And yes, I’m still rocking the same BlackBerry that I’ve had for the past four years, it still makes calls and there’s…

My results at the 2011 Big E Photography Contest
A couple of weeks ago, I took three foam-boarded entries – Midnight at the Palace Theater, Still Life: Coca-Cola Picnic and Stella’s Best Foot Forward – to the Eastern States Exposition, the “Big E,” as part of their photography contest. Midnight at the Palace Theater had already snagged a ribbon at Altamont, the Coca-Cola Picnic…
Read MoreAn adjustment to the Elbo Room trivia standings… apparently there are two “Kelly Cups.”
Remember last Thursday, when the final trivia question of the night was based on the category of “Sports Trophies,” and the question was, “In what sport do teams compete for the Kelly Cup”? Well, if you’re a fan of the ECHL, then you know it’s awarded to the best hockey team in that league. I…

So for the past few weeks, I’ve had trouble with my CD/DVD burner on my custom-built computer tower. I’ve pressed the little button to pop the drawer out, so that I can put a fresh blank CD in the machine. Chuck needs his music for long road trips, because there’s nothing like singing along to…
Read MoreJamario Moon – from Albany Patroons forward to the NBA to rap superstar with the Ka$h Kommi$$ion
You know how I feel about the Albany Patroons’ Jamario Moon. Legend. That’s all I gotta say. He played his way through sixteen different minor league teams and independent squads, traveled around the world, in search of that NBA dream. And from 2005 to 2007, he showed his skills as a member of the Albany…

This is tough for me. I should be used to this. Other people have left the TU blog community and ventured out on their own. Rob Madeo. J Eric Smith. Daniel Nester. Yet through all this, even when quality writers like those left the TU blog farm and ventured to their own websites, there was…
Read MoreWeek 3 of the 2011 $2,000 Elbo Room Trivia Tournament
Something’s different from the last time the Elbo Room hosted a trivia tournament. That something is that our server, Cassidy, isn’t working at Elbo Room any more. Cassidy was the best server ever at Elbo Room. I could walk in the door and she’d have a pitcher of diet cola at our table. If the…

I can’t remember when I purchased this welcome mat. It may have been a month or two after I moved into my new apartment. It was a harsh winter this year, and I was tired of tracking mud and snow and salt into my home. I know, however, that I bought the welcome mat at…

I searched through every box in my apartment last night. I have to find it for the blog. Did the item get lost in the move? It’s got to be someplace… somewhere… I know I pitched a lot of 45’s out the door when I moved out – a lot of them went to Goodwill,…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: If you’ve got the time, Miller’s got the tunes!
What’s the longest song you’ve ever enjoyed? Stairway to Heaven? American Pie? Bohemian Rhapsody? Hey Jude? Today on K-Chuck Radio, I’m breaking out the mega-long tracks. These were the songs that, on Top 40 radio, were trimmed to 3:00 – but on the albums, they were uber-extended jams. TOM CLAY What The World Needs Now…
