Like a Pentecostal Church
If you don’t know about “house music,” you may need to ask somebody! Going to events with “house music” as the central attraction, is one of the things that makes life worth living for me. One reason is because people at these events are genuinely happy and ecstatic about the music. It is pure joy capturing the faces of people as they dance to the beats---expressing themselves and telling a story.

According to PhillyMag, Philadelphia is the best music city in the country. There are many musical institutions that develop the learning and experience of young artists. From orchestras to musicals to live bands, there are a number of options when looking for musical entertainment in the Philadelphia area. The Academy of Music, established in 1857, is the longest continually used opera house in the US. Along with older venues like this one, there have been many additions to the Philly Music Scene. In terms of newer venues, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts opened in 2001 and is mostly used for orchestras. Aside from more traditional forms of music entertainment, there are many venues around the city that cater towards more modern music styles like rock and pop music.

I woke up on the top bunk, hungover, smelling to high heaven and in desperate need of a shower. I rolled off the bunk and began digging around to find my tooth brush, which was, of course, nowhere to be found. There were beer cans strewn across the floor of the bus as well as two dirty pans from a chili we’d made the night before. That Walmart parking lot had very quickly become our home for the night. The chili was vile. It was our third day on the road at that point and we had yet to play a single show. Money was tight and so we found a Walmart just south of a bend in the Mississippi river in western Illinois and found the cheapest canned chili and pre-cooked rice that they sold. It was a solid gel with a very striking resemblance to dog food that I had to shake profusely just to get out of the can.
