A February Day in Lewiston

Freshman Year is Over

One last picture out of my freshman dorm room.

Lady Lamb the Beekeeper

This week was the start of short term at Bates. Short term is a month long semester where students are only responsible for taking one class. This allows students to take advantage of the greatness of Maine during the best month of the year, May. On the first friday of short term the Cold War Kids came to play. Although they were good, the opener had everyone in the audience awestruck. Originally from Brunswick Maine Lady Lamb the Beekeeper got the entire crowd excited. She played for about 20 minutes before the headliner came on, but I would have loved to see her continue playing much later into the night. Have a listen!

LL Bean Free Shipping Video

Since it's opening in 1912 LL Bean has become a staple of Maine life. It is nearly impossible to go on a drive and not catch someone wearing their Bean Boots or jacket. Last night I ate dinner with Lincoln Benedict, a Bates graduate, who now works at LL Bean making short web videos for them. The company sends him all over the world to shoot videos. He is a cool guy and loves his job. This video is a national TV comercial that he helped make. Enjoy!

She Doesn't Like Guthries

Lewiston Maine does not offer too many quality eateries. One of the places I love to stop at and pick up a bite to eat at is She Doesn't Like Guthries or Guthries for short. In the last few weeks I have been visited by a few different people from my home state of Oregon. I made sure that I took them to Guthries for the friendly atmosphere and great food. If you ever find yourself in Lewiston Maine, make sure you make a stop!

Dolcelinos

Fucking delicious ice cream sandwiches made in Maine. I had my first Dolcelinos at Uncle Deans Groceries which is the best grocery store in the greater Waterville area.
