Rob Thomas for Sidewalk Angels Foundation

Sidewalk Angels Foundation is dedicated to providing critically needed funds and support to over 20 no-kill animal shelters and animal rescues, across the country, that help to fight for the rights and fair treatment of those with no voice.
Organizations doing amazing work, that desperately need our help to continue with animal rescues, adoptions, building proper shelter facilities, getting proper medical care, low cost spay and neuter programs, helping to teach childrenkindness and compassion through animals, and advocacy programs such as fighting against cruelty and working to fight against breed discrimination.

The foundation also works with homeless shelters that provide for the displaced by meeting thephysical needs of people and their pets in crisis; so that families in need are not forced to give up their pets.
In past years, they’ve helped rescues with no physical structure other than some fencing and sheds, and no real funding, to build proper facilities with indoor and outdoor kennels. They were also able to help organizations across the United States with big cross-country rescues and large medical expenses incurred during these rescues.
Sidewalk Angels is also committed to helping organizations dedicated to increasing public awareness through educational programs that focus on the frequency of violent crimes against animals, and the correlation between animal abuse and violent behavior towards people.
The hope is for Sidewalk Angels to continue to grow so that they will be able to help twice as many animal organizations across the US in the coming years, while continuing to make real change in helping those who have no voice.

 

About Rob Thomas

Life, love, and music eventually arrive full circle. We reach the place where we began not only wiser, but with more wonder for the bearing of the past on the future. Three-time GRAMMY® award winner Rob Thomas progresses by recognizing his roots. In fact, the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Matchbox Twenty co-founder picks up a thread from his formative years and weaves a bold and bright new chapter on his fourth solo offering, Chip Tooth Smile (Emblem/Atlantic Records].

Fittingly, the experience earned from over two decades as one of modern music’s preeminent songwriter and frontmen empowers him to do so.

Bookstore Speakeasy Brings Memorable Style and Flavor to Bethlehem’s Bar Scene

By Joe Wehinger — 2 years ago

Bookstore Speakeasy brings memorable style and flavor to Bethlehem’s bar scene.

As the name suggests, Bookstore Speakeasy brings us back to the Prohibition era speakeasy times.  The owners and staff work hard to recreate the look and style of the area and deliver incredible tastes.

According to their website, reservations are suggestions.  They’re being modest. 

Reservations are pretty much mandatory unless you want to wait over an hour.  So, make a reservation.  It’s worth it.

Also, since this is a “specialty” restaurant, please check out my tips at the bottom of the article.

You enter through a non-descript door on a plain-looking street.  At first, I didn’t think I was at the right place.  And, of course, this is all planned on-purpose to match the business’s theme.

Bookstore Speakeasy brings memorable style and flavor to Bethlehem’s bar scene.

Bookstore Speakeasy’s lobby

You walk down the steps into a different world. 

The world of a prohibition-style speakeasy.  The owners have done a thorough and detailed job on design and it pays off.

Bookstore Speakeasy brings memorable style and flavor to Bethlehem’s bar scene.

Bookstore Speakeasy’s specialty drink list

In the lobby you wait with other guests until you’re called by the hostess, and then your full party enters yet another world: the bar / seating area.  It’s even more dense with speakeasy design.

 

Cuisine

 

The drinks are excellent.  The food is excellent.

They have a full bar, but also offer custom drink specials.

Bookstore Speakeasy’s bar

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. 

Their drinks aren’t traditionally straight forward.  Rather, they’re almond infused, maple-infused, etc.  Everything I tasted was “a little bit different” than what I expected.

I could see some people loving that detail.  I could see others being very frustrated. The barstaff doesn’t want you to be frustrated, so ask questions.

Once I started asking more and more questions, the bartender (Ry) was very helpful and friendly.  He ended up pouring me several small samples until I could figure out what I’d like.  

The food was plentiful and outstanding.  If you’re a foodie, it’s worth a visit for the food alone.

Ambiance

 

You’re there for the vibe and it pays off immediately and consistently.

The scene is locally award-winning and very well-crafted.

A mostly-finished Old-Fashioned with 2 samples

I would’ve expected dates, seduction and romance.  To me, the vibe was swanky, lounge-y romantic. (maybe that says more about me).

Inside, there was a college-aged date at the bar, a Moms Night Out at one table and older couples (55+) at two other tables. A private group party cozied off in a secluded corner.

Made it hard to figure out the bar’s demographic as tonight’s crowd was very mixed.  However it felt like a local hang, as “Lehigh” and “Moravian Academy” were both overhead several times.

For me, I’d travel from well outside the area to have this experience.

There is a corner of the room for a live band and supposedly there’s live music most nights.  The overall area seemed too small for that, like the sound would dominate everything.

If you’re a live music lover, maybe that’s great news.  Out for dinner, drinks and conversation, maybe that’s not great news.

 

Service

 

So here’s where I messed up.  It’s not really a “walk-in and grab a quick drink” bar.  You really want to make reservations ahead of time.  This is “suggested” on their website, but it should be required.

The bar seems to be maintained at a quarter full.  The restaurant is steady at ⅔ full.

So, I received rushed service.  The hostess worked to squeeze me into their packed schedule.  Once seated, the bartender was very helpful.  I had a quick drink and a bite and moved on quickly enough to fit their next scheduled seating after me. 

 

Hospitality

 

All in all, it reminds me of a mini-version Los Angeles’ Magic Castle.  At the Castle their rules are very straightforward, respected, must be followed, and the venue is a better place as a result.  If anyone asked my opinion, I’d suggest the Bookstore lean more into “rules”.

Bookstore Speakeasy can easily be a special night worthy of driving from anywhere in Eastern PA (roughly 30-45 mins).  I’d go back again, but this time I know the rules.

Tips:

  1. Make a reservation
  2. Walk in with an adventurous palette
  3. Sit down expecting to spend some money.  It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it.
  4. Know there’s an automatic 25% gratuity added to your bill. Order accordingly.
  5. Ask the bartenders and waiters questions.  Have fun with the experience.

Bookstore Speakeasy is delicious, memorable and helpful.

Comedy Star John Mulaney: From Scratch at Wind Creek on July 30

By Sasha Sinclair — 2 years ago

Comedy Star John Mulaney: From Scratch at Wind Creek on July 30

Fans of the comedian are familiar with Mulaney’s past issues with drugs and alcohol. In 2014, Mulaney revealed he had been sober since September 2005.

Many of his past comedy specials have centered around the contradiction between Mulaney’s clean-cut professional appearance and his turbulent relationship with narcotics.

In 2020, Mulaney relapsed, developing an unhealthy relationship with substances including xanax, percocet, klonopin and cocaine, among other drugs, he said during the show. As a result of his addiction, his friends staged an intervention with him in December of 2020.

Mulaney was two hours late to the intervention, which he was told would be dinner at a friend’s house, because he had stopped at his drug dealer’s apartment after getting a haircut at Saturday Night Live. In a hilarious retelling of the story, Mulaney recounted how he walked into the “Emmy-Award winning” hair department high on cocaine, demanding a haircut despite not being the host of the show for the week.

The intervention, which was attended by 12 of Mulaney’s comedian friends, was a star-studded affair, including the likes of Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, Natasha Lyonne, Fred Armisen and Nick Kroll.

Iconic Music Group Village People at Wind Creek on Aug 20

By Ruben Kellermen — 2 years ago

Iconic Music Group Village People at Wind Creek on Aug 20

The group was originally formed by French producers Jacques Morali, Henri Belolo and lead singer Victor Willis following the release of the debut album Village People, which targeted disco’s large gay audience.

The group’s name refers to Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, with its reputation as a gay neighborhood.

The Village People were a musical group that were formed in the mid-to-late 70s by music producers Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo along with the brilliant lead singer named Victor Willis.

The group that came out of Greenwich Village in New York City would become one of the most iconic musical groups from the 70s for multiple reasons.

Many bands have had gimmicks throughout the years like Kiss or Twisted Sister with their makeup and so forth.

The Village People were based on male characters of masculinity dressed up in macho costumes represented by a Cowboy played by Randy Jones, a construction worker played by David Hodo, an American Indian played by Felipe Rose, a leatherman played by Glenn Hughes, a G.I played by Alexander Briley and the band’s lead singer and founding member Victor Willis who dressed up as a cop.
