Rainy Day Fun: Video Games

When I’m not blogging here on ColumbiaCountyCurrent.com, I’m probably playing a video game. Each week, I try to find the best video games for families to play together and I review those games for TimeToPlaymag.com.

Here is one of my recent video reviews:

I’ll add links to my reviews as they are published but in the meantime, you can check out more of my video game reviews for TimeToPlaymag.com by clicking here.

Zach Deputy at Club Helsinki

Zach Deputy will be performing this Thursday (March 29, 2012) at Club Helsinki in Hudson, NY.

Deputy’s performance “Dance Music For The Soul”  will include his latest release Another Day. 

From Club Helsinki’s site:

Rich with ballads and mid-tempo songs, the music on this recording is best described as soulful rhythm and blues, with flavors of Al Green, Taj Mahal and Stevie Wonder emerging in the swells, changes and modulations of the music, in the voice and even in the lyrical content.

WHEN: Thursday March 29, 2012
TIME: 8pm
TICKETS: $15 in advance, $18 day of show
Tickets can be purchased online here.
