Bunbury x 21C.

Despite not being big fans of any bands at this year’s Bunbury Music Festival, we bought tickets for the Sunday lineup featuring Thirty Seconds to Mars, The 1975 and Muse among others. We also had a gift card to 21C Museum Hotel downtown on Walnut Street that my work gave us as a wedding present. If you combine the Bunbury and staying downtown at 21C that sounds like a pretty awesome Sunday.

Genifer’s mom, Geri was kind enough to watch Oscar for the evening as well as drop us off at 21C downtown…

Our room was all the way up on the tenth floor…

Drumroll…

It was such an incredible room that really wasn’t all that much smaller than our old apartment. We sat around for a bit and enjoyed our new digs as watched some of the Reds game in our plush, swanky, new home for the night…

And then we went to get a couple of burgers at BRU…

Before we walked down to Sawyer Point to check out Bunbury…

Surprisingly, this is the only photo my camera strap made it into…

We checked out the view from the top of this Miller Lite bar…

Holy geez was that ladder to the roof rickety…

I ended up using four different cameras at Bunbury. I used the camera on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and my Samsung Galaxy S. But mostly I used my old point & shoot Canon SX280 to take the majority of photos because of its’ toy camera effect with the dark cornervignetting, blurriness and other distortions like in the photos above and below…

I also took some photos with my Polaroid CUBE…

I also took this video with my CUBE of people just walking passed us as we were people watching while Thirty Seconds to Mars was playing…

Bunbury was such a good time! So much fun. So much great music. We headed home…

And we ordered some Domino’s pizza because Domino’s doesn’t deliver to Northside…

😍❤️

It was kind of weird waking up in downtown Cincinnati again. It definitely had a very distinct deja vu feeling to it…

Especially since you could actually see our old apartment building two blocks away…

I’m going to have to try to source these pillows…

And then Geri and Oscar picked us up, and took us home. And that was that. 🙂

Thank you to Geri for watching Oscar and providing our ground transportation and thank you to Deskey for the wonderful 21C gift card. It made an amazing evening unforgettable on a pretty epic scale! 😀❤️🎼💤

FC Cincinnati versus Bethlehem Steel.

IT’S FC CINCINNATI MATCH DAY FIVE! Today, FC Cincinnati was taking on Bethlehem Steel. Somehow, this was the already third time this season the two teams had met. FC Cincy travelled to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in both of the two prior meetings, and they lost both matches. The first 2-0 and the second 1-0. In both matches. And FC|C had a player sent off in both matches. So we were hoping that our boys in blue could exact a little revenge on the team from the Lehigh Valley…

 

HERE WE GO…

FC|C’s Corben Bone took a nasty knock on the noggin…

I set our Polaroid CUBE on the row in front of us to record some of the atmosphere and actually captured FC Cincinnati’s first goal. And even though you can’t see the goal, the crowd reaction is still pretty great…

1-0 to FC CINCINNATI!

The referee gave Bethlehem Steel a penalty…

Which they converted…

 

We thought we felt raindrops so we moved over to watch the match from under the protection of an overhang…

And that’s how the first ended 1-1…

SPRINKLES!

2-1 FC CINCINNATI!

FC Cincinnati new boy Danni Konig scored both FC|C goals!

In the 90th minute, the match was suspended due to lightning in the area…

We headed out to try to beat the raindrops. Our friend JJ gave us a ride home and as soon as we got in her car, it started pouring down rain. Eventually, the match was called final. And the match ended 2-1 to FC Cincinnati.

FC Cincinnati returns to Nippert Stadium next Saturday at 5pm to take on Toronto FC II.
We’ll see you there! 😀 ❤️ ⚽️

Thunderstorms.

It really started pouring late this afternoon. I was tinkering with Polaroid CUBE and took a little timelapse movie of it raining from my window at work…

🙂

Super moon.

Here’s what tonight’s super moon looked like from our bedroom window…

The moon was every bit as bright as the streetlight. I took a couple of photos out of our window with my Polaroid Cube too…

🙂

Pause for paws.

Oscar. Taken with my Polaroid CUBE. 🙂

Another trip to Ikea.

We made another pilgrimage out to Ikea in West Chester this afternoon to get some more innovative Swedish home solutions and furnishings for our house…

And now I have some more projects to complete. I’ll post photos of the new additions to our home just as soon as I get them built. 🙂

Keep checking our T+G Home Tumblr for updates very soon.

The CB Connector to Findlay Market.

After getting my hair cut at Rooster’s in Queen City Square, I hopped on the
CB Connector to ride up to Findlay Market to get lunch again today…

And there we are at Findlay Market in a jiffy…

I finally got us one of those little waving, lucky cats at the Saigon Market…

This space could be made into something really cool…

My photo didn’t do it justice at all.

Oktoberfest is this weekend. I like this year’s posters…

I decided to get chicken yellow curry and an egg roll from Mimi’s Gourmet Egg Rolls & Curry Bowls for lunch…

Speaking of egg rolls, look at the size of Mimi’s Big Monster Eggroll…

Whoa. Egg Rolls as big as your head! Then with curry bowl and egg roll in tow, I hopped back on the Connector to ride back down to the office…

Thanks for the ride, Connector…

I didn’t even realize that I was on the Rhinegeist branded Connector…

The curry was delicious, and so was the egg roll! So much food. And most of these photos were taken with my Polaroid CUBE. 🙂

Hello, CB Connector.

Cincinnati finally got to ride all over downtown and Over-the-Rhine on it’s brand new streetcar CB Connector all weekend long. Social media was chuck full of photos and videos of people’s experiences on the Connector. Today, it was my turn. I got to ride it for myself for the first time this afternoon. I hopped on the Connector at Main and Eighth Streets just outside of Deskey…

By the time it got to Twelfth Street, I had the COnnector pretty much to myself…

I took this little video clip with my Instagram

I got off the Connector at the Findlay Market stop on Elm Street…

I just wanted to get a Bahn Mi sammich from Pho Lang Thang

With sammich in hand, I walked over to wait for the Connector at the Findlay Market stop on Race Street…

And like clockwork, there was the Connector…

I rode the Connector down Race Street passed Washington Park…

I decided to ride the Connector all the way back around to where I first got on at Main and Eighth Streets. At Fountain Square, I started taking this video with my Polaroid CUBE…

Apparently, you can only take a five minute long video. And that’s fine because it’s not all that interesting. At all. Here’s another much shorter video of the Connector rolling passed Great American Ball Park…

And I’m back where I started at Main and Eighth…

I think I was going for about 45 minutes or so, give or take. Next time, I’ll pay more attention to what time it is when I leave. And here’s my Korean BBQ Bahn Mi sammich from Pho Lang Thang…

I have to admit. It was pretty cool to be able to hop on the Connector to ride up to Findlay Market to get a delicious sammich. Even when we lived downtown, we never really got up to Findlay Market all that much. Now I can see myself taking the Connector up to Findlay Market to grab a sammich, a gelato or pick up something to bring home for our dinner. Coworkers are already talking about taking the Connector to Taft’s Ale House for lunch or Rhinegeist for drinks after work. It’s cool how it makes downtown seem even easier to navigate than it already was.  The Cincinnati Bell Connector is pretty A-okay with me. 🙂

Happy Streetcar Day!

Cincinnati finally got to ride on it’s streetcar CB Connector for the first time today!

I also took a longer video with my Polaroid CUBE of the Connector from the corner of Main and Eighth Streets. I can’t wait to use my commemorative streetcar token to ride it for the first time next week. 🙂

South Haven.

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

29583501696_4f4eaa10f7_b

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.
