Cleveland Cavaliers Spoof Heineken Commercial

Anyone who watches any sports on television has seen the recent Heineken commercial where a bunch of women scream about seeing huge closet full of clothes, and the guys scream louder seeing a huge refrigerator stocked with Heineken.

The Cleveland Cavaliers had a little fun with that commercial in this great spoof. Enjoy! And – GO CAVS!

The Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland

30th Anniversary Artwork created by Cleveland's Hector Vega


Jazz fans, the time is here. The annual Tri-C JazzFest is upon us, running from April 23 to May 3, 2009. This year, the JazzFest celebrates 30 years of jazz in northeast Ohio. (For those of you not from the area, Tri-C is the “nickname” given to Cuyahoga Community College.)

The festival got its start in May of 1980, and over the years has developed into a on-going jazz educational program, which culminates with the JazzFest in late April. It is the largest jazz festival in the country. The JazzFest has hosted many of the famous artists associated with the genre, such as Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis, Herbie Hancock, and many others.

To get everyone in the mood, here are a few videos from previous JazzFests and local appearances of jazz artists for the festival. Additional information such as tickets and a full schedule of artists can be found on the web site for The Tri-C Performing Arts.

Cleveland: A Study in Black & White Photographs

Cleveland is a beautiful city in normal “living” color, but it gets its own special look when viewed in black and white photographs. Here is a video of some photos of my favorite Cleveland places – all in black & white – most of which I’ve taken over the last 2+ years.
