Yesterday it was a very gloomy and rainy day here in Bay Ridge but that did not stop the proud Norwegian residents from marching in honor of the annual Bay Ridge Norwegian Day parade. I really enjoy bringing our readers the occasional area parade when it is possible for me to attend and present you some visuals of the proceedings. With that being the case I will not say too much and let you instead feel like you were standing right there with me. Enjoy.

Behind The Scenes w JKaufman Guitars @ NY Guitar Show and Exposition
My good friend Joe Kaufman is a Luthier and that means he builds guitars. He is also a bit of a technical wizard when it comes to doing repairs on the things and when he locked in a booth at the NY Guitar Show and Exposition that was being held out in Freeport, NY I offered up my time to be an extra pair of hands at the show. That larger report is over on my PiercingMetal.com site and can be observed HERE if you wanted to look. This post is fully focused on our setting up and presenting the booth and Joe’s instruments to the public.
We didn’t have a proper banner for this show unfortunately as this was a last minute decision for Joe. These events are a lot of work and planning in case you didn’t realize.

PiercingMetal Goes To The 1st Annual Hot Sauce Expo!!! (4/21/2013)
The other day I attended an event called the “1st Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo” and this expo was started by a Metal brother of mine, Steve Seabury who we’ve seen in some bands over the years. While I realize that this is not truly a Metal event and would be perfect to discuss on this site, the number of music personalities who were there and working their own branded hot sauces made me post it over there. If you click the poster below you will be transported across the Internet to that coverage and all the photos. Enjoy and I’ll see you back here with other stuff soon.
Please note that I have disabled the means to comment on this narrative as its only here to serve as a traffic sign directing you down a different online road. Topical comments are most welcome on the full on presentation that you will find on PiercingMetal.com – Thanks.

Below you will find some of the hot sauces from the event organizers brand along with a fun-filled Metal themed cookbook that will test your taste buds level of heavy.
“Greetings From Brooklyn”
Today is Earth Day, and while I would have loved to share a photo of the whole planet with my wonderful readers, I had to settle on that little place I call home New York City. The photo you see below was shot by me yesterday as I stood on the bank of the East River in the aptly named “East River Park”.
It was a beautiful day here in NYC and I was at the 1st Annual Hot Sauce Expo and just could not resist sharing a quick visual of our Big Apple with all of you. I shot this with the Droid phone and uploaded it to Facebook, so some of my first viewers saw it there. If you get over to these parts during the last few weeks of Spring or in the Summer, so take a wander here and snap your own shot. You will not regret doing so. Obviously the photo shows some of the East River, the Empire State Building and to your right a tiny bit of the Chrysler Building. Happy Earth Day my friends. Treat her and each other with kindness. We’ve only so much time to spend together after all. Oh yeah and if you’d like to see that Hot Sauce Expo that I said I was attending you can click HERE for that article. It’s over on my PiercingMetal site.
4/15 Has Arrived; It’s Time To Pay Up!!!!
It’s that time of the year again my friends so pay up if you owe and make sure you get that stuff postmarked today because this is it. Of course I am surely hoping that all of our wonderful readers are getting something back from Uncle Sam. I just love when that happens for me I tell you that much. Anyways, I could not resist posting a photo of this dreaded institution when I passed by not too long ago, and for now that is all I have for you. Don’t waste time getting your papers finished if you were snoozing. See you again real soon.
