What is EDC?
In this increasingly unsafe world, we as individuals need to adjust our behaviors to better ensure the safety of ourselves and our loved ones. We first need to be “situationally aware” of our surroundings, actively observing what is going on around us and looking for possible threats. Threats can be very obvious, as a traditional bank robber would be, or they could be something much more subtle, like a van parked next to your car when there are only two cars in the entire parking lot. Avoiding … [Read more...] about What is EDC?

King played the blues in the hotel lounge. Now, Dallas-based Practice Hospitality is restoring the Americana … [Read more...] about Americana Reimagined as ‘Retro-Futuristic Oasis’

Roots and Boots Music Camp Inspired by Pickin’ in the Pines
Bluegrass is on fire, says Flagstaff Roots and Boots Music Camp founder Julie Sullivan, and it’s lighting up the nation. “Everyone wants to know how to play it. It’s very accessible and people can identify with the music and the instruments. We’ll hear, ‘I have a banjo that was my dad’s.’ Or, they play guitar and plunk around at home. What I’ve found is almost everyone who has an instrument wants to play, sing and work out songs with other people to create that communal, tribal quality. That’s … [Read more...] about Roots and Boots Music Camp Inspired by Pickin’ in the Pines
