FC Cincinnati played Rochester Rhinos to a 1-1 draw in front of 14,157. It was the 13th straight USL match with over 10,000 fans for FC Cincinnati. 🙂

We saw John Travolta.

John Travolta is in Cincinnati shooting a new movie about John Gotti. When we were waiting for the bus to go to the FC Cincinnati match, we noticed that Hamilton Avenue was closed south of Pullan in Northside…

We realized it was a movie set. So we stood and watched while we waited for the bus. And I got a couple of the blurriest photos of John Travolta from distance…

He got of a car, walked up to the house, up the steps, inside the house, emerged seconds later carrying a bag and got back in the car. They did the scene twice. And then John Travolta hopped into a waiting white Jaguar, and was whisked away. Not something you see everyday. Genifer said she heard that there have been sixteen movies filmed in and around Cincinnati so far this year. And that’s pretty cool. 🙂

South Haven.

We spent a wonderful, long weekend in South Haven with my family…

We have so much fun getting together with everyone to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. I really wish could all get together more often. But it’s so special when we’re all in the same place at the same time. 🙂

I took a bunch of photos over the long weekend. And I even tried a few short videos with my new Polaroid Cube. I took one of the waves in South Haven’s Black River, one of a sunset over Lake Michigan, one of the waves crashing along the shore of Lake Michigan and one of the fun we had at Lake Michigan’s South Beach.

After these messages…

We’ll be right back. We’re heading up to South Haven, Michigan for a long weekend with my family. See you next week! 🙂

Urban Artifact.

After dropping off Oscar at Genifer’s mom’s house, we stopped at Urban Artifact on the way home to get a couple of growlers to take with us to Michigan…

We got a taster to decide which flavors to get in our growlers…

There was an pretty awesome Elvis impersonator…

Did you know there’s live music every night of the week at Urban Artifact?

We got a growler of Keypunch key lime gose, The Gadget raspberry & blackberry sour ale and a howler of Keypunch infused with jalapeño and lime…

We love Urban Artifact. It’s our favorite Cincinnati brewery. And it’s just right around the corner from us. 🙂

Window washers in peril.

When I was walking back to work from lunch, I couldn’t help but notice that a whole bunch of fire trucks had Fifth Street blocked off between Vine and Walnut…

Apparently, some window washers got themselves into a bit of a pickle…

Thankfully, everyone was okay. The window washers managed to get themselves to safety even before the fire brigade arrived on the scene. And then they managed to get their window washing platform righted…

YIKES! That’s a job I would not want. I don’t care home much it payed. No, thank you.

🙂

Polaroid Cube.

I picked up a little Polaroid Cube. Because why not buy another camera? But the Cube is pretty cool. It’s a little POV action cam kind of like a GoPro with a 124° wide-angle lens that records 6-megapixel photos and 1080p HD video on a 32gb memory card with a built-in battery that lasts up to 90 minutes of continuous action. It’s basically a wee pocket-sized 1.5″ cube with little more than a camera lens and one button. It doesn’t have a lcd screen. And that’s what I like about it. I’ll snap photos with the Cube all day long and at night plug it into my laptop and see what I got. It really reminds me of shooting with film…

And I’ve been getting some pretty interesting photos with the little Cube…

It’s been a lot of fun to play with so far. I can’t wait to take it with us up to Michigan. 🙂

Columbus Crew versus New York City FC.

Today, we went up to Columbus to watch the Crew SC take New York City Football Club. We got these tickets back in April with the hope of getting to see NYCFC’s big trio of international superstars… David Villa, Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard. We made our way up to the Comfort Suites which is just a short walk away from the Crew’s MAPFRE Stadium. We waited for a break in the rain and made our way over to the Stadium. As soon as we got to MAPFRE, the match was delayed due to severe weather. But after about a forty-five minute delay, the match was about to kick-off…

Our seats for the match were great. It was a pretty incredible match that ended in a 3-3 draw. David Villa, Pirlo and Lampard all started and played the whole match! Lampard had NYCFC’s first goal, and David Villa netted a brace including a penalty in the 90+2′. And then Crew’s Ethan Finlay netted his second goal, an equalizer in the 90+5′! There were four goals scored in the final 10 minutes plus stoppage time! Like I said, it was a pretty incredible match. And we managed to get some pretty decent photos of the match including some great close-ups of some a lot of the players including NYCFC’s big three. After the match we got Pepperoni Rolls from The Pizza Joint. Those things alone are worth the drive to Columbus. YUM! And then Sunday morning we drove in the rain all the way back to Cincinnati. 🙂
