This site is a place to document things I’ve actually experienced—events I attended, places I visited, and moments I showed up for in real life.
Instead of previews, hype, or secondhand summaries, each post reflects time spent on the ground: watching, listening, walking through it, and paying attention to the details that don’t always make the brochure. Some experiences impress me. Others fall short. Either way, I write about what stood out and why it mattered in the moment.
These aren’t polished endorsements or expert takes. They’re honest reflections from someone who was there.
