20 things to do this weekend

This weekend is jam-packed with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beginning of summer on Lake Erie, from boating demos and events on the islands to learning to paddle a canoe. We've also found plenty for your little ones to do, including a historic Civil War Encampment, free camel and pony rides and a fishing derby.

Recap: ColossalCon 9

This weekend was the 2010 Colossalcon 9 at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky. To the common person it may have seemed odd, but those in the know took in the cosplay, movies, panels and imagination that is an anime convention. Fans of anime, video game, and manga gathered to share their costumes, ideas and skills in different areas of the convention.

Recap: Pink Floyd Tribute Band at OBW

There were plenty of hula hoops and dilated pupils present at the Erie County Fairgrounds for Wish You Were Here, a Cleveland-based Pink Floyd tribute band. The night started off pretty slow, as the threat of rain quickly turned into a full-blown storm. But no worries - people happily took shelter in the Easyriders Saloon, which was filled with plenty of bodies and, of course, booze.

Recap: Vince Neil at Bike Week

I confess: when I heard that Vince Neil was playing as the "big ticket act" for Ohio Bike Week this year, I was skeptical. After all, I have many theories about "washed-up rockstars" (which I won't get into here), and quite frankly, his promo pics with glossy, perfect hair and gaudy, expensive sunglasses made me laugh.

More than just biking going on

So everyone's getting revved up for Ohio Bike Week, right? The thundering engines, the leather, the crowds! Except - loud noises make you nervous and your bike has an orange flag on the back and a wicker basket on the front? Hmm.

How to roast the ultimate marshmallow

It's time for beach parties, camping and bonfires and that also means roasting marshmallows. If you are anything like me, sometimes your marshmallows turn out ok and other times they end up catching on fire and are little too crispy.
