Matchbox Twenty Plays Music to Our Ears During an Exclusive Acoustic Concert at The Hamilton Live

Where Music and Dining Are Always Aligning …
As a fan of live music and good eating, naturally hunting the venues that offer the perfect combination of music and dining, is something I’ve been doing for awhile.

DJangofolies 2012 – All That Jazz & More – Now through July 1st
By Punch Pep Correspondent Elizabeth Fischer Summer weather like today makes me reminisce about all things “cool†– days like this past Wednesday when humidity was not the operative word – days when you want to be outside – having patio lunches or happy hours on rooftops. Remembering those days when your college professors were [...]
Ed Romanoff with Mary Gauthier at The Hamilton | May 15th
I first met Ed Romanoff years and years and years ago. He was tall with mussy (yes, that word fits his locks) hair, a constant 5 o’clock shadow, bright eyes and year round look of being out in the sun. If I remember correctly, he was always in long shorts, wore a plaid button down [...]

Kevin Costner and his Band Modern West to Play Strathmore April 5th
I shall never forget the time when I literally ran into the stunning wife of actor/musician/husband/daddy Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner (immediate girl crush ensued) at The Cove in Atlantis in November of 2007 (http://www.pamelaspunch.com/from-the-cove-atlantis-back-to-real-life/).  Not that my friend and I were “stalking” Costner and his band Modern West, who were playing the resort that [...]

By Punch Pep Correspondent Elizabeth Fischer It is the beginning of 2012 and that means many things to many people but one prevalent theme is the new year’s resolution – for most it is about exercise and diet – yet it should be about living life more (heck if the Mayan’s are correct we [...]
