Political Merry-Go-Round

Posted on Monday September 8, 2003Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

Unfortunately, we had last-minute commitments, so we were unable to make the forum meeting on Saturday…

However… just like the last time you opened the doors to so many victims, there was a hot time in the old town tonight!

Home Builder Scam forum tomorrow

Posted on Friday September 5, 2003Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

New Yorkers and New Jersey folks who were screwed by predatory lending in the Poconos may want to get their butts back up here tomorrow.

Attorney General Mike Fisher announces a new lawsuit against yet another Pocono Builder yesterday.

Did we outgrow the Z-List?

Posted on Wednesday September 3, 2003Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

… or do we need it now more than ever?

(A long, drawn-out soliloquy in my SoApBoX section…. if you’re feeling nostalgic and INTO that linky-luv stuff.)

Re-Format

Posted on Monday September 1, 2003Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

The web is off-kilter.
And like everything bad in this world, I accept full responsibility for it.

One of these days… possibly in the next few months, I am reformatting this page. I want to go for a more “newsier” type format. A “Top Story” and then excerpts to whatever else I put down. You’ll notice I don’t UPDATE much, because most people rarely read past the first post, so I want to make it so they can catch *everything* with a mere glance, and save themselves hours of surfing through crap on the web.

Pocono Happenings

Posted on Friday August 29, 2003Saturday June 4, 2011 by Eric Brooks

Yes, you may envy me now… tomorrow is the annual Pocono Garlic Festival here in downtown Stroudsburg (again, I ask… is there an “uptown” Stroudsburg???)

Come on… I whine, complain, and make fun of this festival every year…
…where have you people been?

Thank you cards….

Posted on Tuesday August 26, 2003Saturday June 4, 2011 by Eric Brooks

I try not to bear my soul online much anymore. It just seems when I’m revealing a little bit of humanity, it serves no other purpose but to hand ammunition to my enemies. But I really gotta share this one:

Yesterday I took on the horrific task of cleaning out this desk.
(Pause for dramatic “GASP”)

Sue, Dr. D., Deborah, Lee, Dave, Tammie (who’s the birthday girl on Monday), Larry (yes, *that* Larry), and Kim for all the kind words, hilarious E-Cards, and making me feel so darned loved.

Donate to the Pennsylvania Music Foundation

Posted on Thursday August 21, 2003Saturday June 4, 2011 by Eric Brooks

Not a bad week…

I’m half way through all the registration modules, and the Pennsylvania Music Awards got an endorsement FROM State Representative Kelly Lewis.

Oh, and btw, today is Johnny Kai’s birthday. If I haven’t mentioned it lately, he’s not only one of the headlining entertainers at Tamiment, he’s also the mastermind behind the PA and Hawaiian Music awards…

Blackouts, Bob Dylan, & Life in the Poconos

Posted on Saturday August 16, 2003Saturday June 4, 2011 by Eric Brooks

Considering we’re only 60 miles away FROM New York City, we’re pretty fortunate to have not lost power… but then again we ALWAYS go without lights during every thunderstorm.

Today on the Pocono Record: Bill Doolittle recalls the Blackout of 1965 in NYC. Pretty cool stuff, as he had to share his space with the staff of The New York Times.

I was only two or three months old during that Blackout… so I don’t remember much. I do remember Bushwick turning INTO a war-zone in 1977. That sucked.
