Rochester Insider: More music Relocated Rochester Indie Fest adds two days, more venues and scores of bands


The South Wedge neighborhood is home to some of the most popular restaurants and bars in the city. Now it's home to the Rochester Independent Music Festival.

The festival, which launched last year, has undergone many changes. In 2008, it was a one-day event featuring six bands at Water Street Music Hall. This year, it's spread out over three days — Thursday, Oct. 1, to Saturday, Oct. 3 — and will feature more than four times as many bands at several area venues...

TheFatherLife.com: [OSBURN ON TAP] To Arthur Guinness!


Where the heck did the summer go? I’m pretty sure that in the northeast we only had a one week stretch that really felt like summer. This was actually the fifth coldest summer in the history of the city I live in. I’m fairly sure the rest of the northeast didn’t fair any better. Regardless, fall is upon us and the leaves are quickly starting to turn to autumnal hues of red, orange, and yellow. I know fall is here because I keep finding them covering the windshield of my car when I get up for work in the morning...

TheFatherLife.com: The Week In Sports #15: NFL Vandalism | Wacky Steve Nash


It’s always troubling when a professional athlete’s personal life becomes intertwined with events that happen on the field of play. Athlets are put in the spotlight on a nightly basis, and sometimes mistakes happen. Last Monday night, a fumbled kickoff return by the Buffalo Bills’ Leodis McKelvin led to the winning touchdown by Tom Brady and the Patriots. Local Buffalo hooligans (two misguided sixteen year olds) decided to take it upon themselves to paint the score and the words “learn to take a (expletive) knee” on McKelvin’s front lawn in the hours directly after the game...

TheFatherLife.com: The Week In Sports #14: Something Is Rotten in Pennsylvania


Something strange is going on in the state of Pennsylvania, and it has been for a long long time. The Phillies have lost the most games in MLB history and had sixteen straight losing seasons in the thirty’s and forty’s. But, somewhere in the early nineties, the Pirates must have decided that they weren’t going to let the boys from Philadelphia have all the fun...

TheFatherLife.com: The Week In Sports #13: Aging NFL Free Agents


The NFL season begins next week and there are still quite a few big name free agents sitting by their phones. Players like Marvin Harrison, Shaun Alexander, Joe Horn, Amani Toomer, Matt Jones, Derrick Brooks, Michael Boulware, DeShaun Foster, and Joe Jurevicius are still on the market looking for a home, as are many other big name players. How is it that so many household names remain unsigned this close to the season?
