Santa Fe - New Mexico

The main attracting in Santa Fe is the historic downtown with its adobe style buildings. When you wonder its narrow streets it really feels like you are stepping back in time to the old southwest. This is true not only because of unique architecture, but also because of the atmosphere the numerous craftsmen and street vendors selling locally made goods help to create.

Crafts are not the only thing you will find in this small downtown, as there are over 300 art galleries. Although southwest theme is the most dominate, there area also a good number of galleries and museums offering modern abstract art as well. Jewelry, fashion boutiques, and rug stores are prevalent as well. Santa Fe also offers intrigue in the area of food options as well. The Blue Corn Cafe is a fine example of “New Mexican cuisine” at an affordable price.

For those who like the outdoors, Santa Fe is located in the middle of an mountain adventure paradise. There are a number of great places go to hiking, backpacking, kayaking, or skiing within a short drive of the city.

If you are looking of a taste of the American southwest, look no farther than Santa Fe.

This is the story of my trip to Starbucks to listen to Green Day (Give Me Novacaine) on my iPod, enjoy a Caffè Americano, and read a book titled “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor E. Frankl.

Falcon Punch Concert


SplashCast with Flickr photos and YouTube video.
Produced by Kayakman Media


Falcon Punch has managed to blend together a number of alternative music styles in way that puts them a cut above other garage bands of this type. Folk-punk, new wave, 60s folk-rock, and psychedelic music styles can clearly be heard in their songs. A number of the band members are former Evangel University students. Their songs deal with such real life issues as anger, frustration, and disappointment (among other subjects). Their concerts are full of wild energy and are totally unpredictable. Most of the photos and video in the above SplashCast are from the Falcon Punch concert at the Mudhouse Coffeehouse (The HUB) at MSU.

Falcon Punch ROCKS!

A few weeks a ago a nasty ice storm hit the Midwest and caused a lot of damage. This is what my backyard looked like as a result of that storm. Not a lot of fun to clean up that mess.
