Theme Park Experience: Brian Peterson interview

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2009/04/brian-peterson-interview.html

Thursday, April 16, 2009. A couple of years into writing. I heard from Dan Sinker at. About a book in the works on nineties hardcore. Details were scant, but I had heard it was about heavy hardcore bands. So my book on non-heavy post-hardcore bands would probably not conflict with it. A few months later, I got in touch with its author, Brian, and we've kept in touch ever since. Brian's book is called. Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution in Ethics, Politics, Spirit, and Sound. I already knew a...

Theme Park Experience: Let Your Arrow Fly

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2015/08/let-your-arrow-fly.html

Monday, August 10, 2015. Let Your Arrow Fly. Late one night during my vacation in Nashville, I saw an article. In my Facebook newsfeed from Vanity Fair. With the headline, "Tinder and the Dawn of the 'Dating Apocalypse.'" I read through it and thought, Is this really what I encounter these days as a single guy, hoping to date someone again? Since I'm not on Tinder, the answer was no. Served as apt excuse for so many years, unfortunately. Miraculously, I have been in a couple of extremely meaningful relat...

Theme Park Experience: The Nostalgia Trap

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-nostalgia-trap.html

Saturday, April 04, 2015. As a follow-up on my thoughts on the Bomb Factory reopening, I wrote a lot of words. About the dangers of investing too much time to nostalgia. Basically, the past was great, but it wasn't all great. So let's look forward to what's next. And I quoted Billy Joel. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thanks for checking out my site. This is not about theme parks or the experience of being at a theme park. This is run by me, Eric Grubbs, and only me. Find Me On Social Networks.

Theme Park Experience: Ghost Hunting

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2015/07/ghost-hunting.html

Sunday, July 12, 2015. The past couple of months have been very productive. Probably more than ever before, which has been good for some peace of mind. Between the regular work hours at my full-time job and the freelance writing for the Observer. There hasn't been much time to sit around and think. It's just been go, go, go and go to sleep at some point late at night. Some of the most recent articles that I most proud of had been in the works for a while. The story. It was "Why not? A big reason why this...

Theme Park Experience: This Road I'm Travelling

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2015/08/this-road-im-travelling.html

Monday, August 03, 2015. This Road I'm Travelling. As summer draws to a close, I have my eyes set on another long roadtrip. Last year, I drove all the way to St. Louis, a town I had never visited before. This year, it's another town I've never visited: Nashville. I'd been close to Nashville before (Memphis, to be specific), but I've never been there. Talking to Brandon Curtis, a former Dallas resident about his current projects, we openly talked about grief as he continues life, thinking all the time abo...

Theme Park Experience: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fugazi

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2007/09/complete-idiots-guide-to-fugazi.html

Thursday, September 20, 2007. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fugazi. Originally posted: Tuesday, January 9th, 2007. For a lot of people, Fugazi’s essential stuff consists of. I’m not going to argue with that assessment, but I will argue with the idea that the rest of their catalog is a weird, frustrating puzzle. Though plenty of other bands on the label deserve credit, Fugazi was a big part of the broadening Dischord’s appeal beyond the hardcore world. Joining the seven songs found on the. Already, you ca...

Theme Park Experience: Clockwork Angels

http://themeparkexperience.blogspot.com/2015/05/clockwork-angels.html

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Leading up to last week's Rush show at the American Airlines Center, there was a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I had a sense I'd enjoy the show as a longtime fan of the band, and I hoped to review and photograph it for the Observer. I was lucky enough to do that. And had a great time.) Why it was bittersweet was how prior to the show, I couldn't stop thinking about my friend Evan, a longtime Rush fan who passed away unexpectedly last October. I came home and wrote my review and ...
