February 10, 2015 was a fateful day this year, for two primary reasons. The first reason was that I would be turning 20 years old. The second reason, was that Gannon was holding the annual Pizza Competition, and we all know what that means. I arrived at Gannon’s Yehl Ballroom with the AEE (Aaron Eats Erie) […]
Sometimes, the weekly grind can get the best of you. Classes, activities, and social commitments are quick to overwhelm. When they do, I need something that helps me get away and give my mind a rest. Luckily, I have six glorious hours a week where I can do just that – my radio shifts at […]
I love movies. I know, I sound like one of those people who claim “music is their life” (it is). Who doesn’t love dealing with inflated ticket costs, outrageous concessions, sticky floors, crying children and people who don’t turn off their cellphones for 90+ minutes of entertainment? Seriously though, I’ve been a film guy for […]
Sometime over Christmas break, I started receiving Facebook invites to a place called an Erie Movie House. Intrigued, and being a lover of film, I looked forward to coming back to Gannon so I might actually have a chance to make it out to the place. As luck would have it, owner Craig Stadler reached […]

We at Edge LOVE Christmastime. In fact, we’ve had the office decorated since the conclusion of Halloween. We love Christmas not for the family time, presents nor holiday fun. We love it primarily for one reason and one reason alone: cheesy Christmas specials. Let’s face it, nothing is better than plunking down on your couch after […]
As Edge’s unofficial music aficionado, it shouldn’t surprise you that I have a list of favorite concerts I’ve attended: 1. Title Fight/Pianos Become the Teeth at the Smilin’ Moose, Pittsburgh, 2012 This was the most emotional and intense show I’ve ever attended. Listen to “Floral Green” right now. 2. Manchester Orchestra at Mr. Small’s, Pittsburgh, […]
By now, dear reader, you ought to know me. I’m a writer, music enthusiast, hater of haunted houses and a bit of a food connoisseur. What you may not know about me is that I’m also a maître de la romance. For those who don’t speak the language of love, that’s a “master of romance.” […]
