colinlanephoto: JUST found these shots from October 5, 2002 when The Strokes were opening for The Rolling Stones. I was there to shoot live shots of The Stones for Q. All the other photographers had to leave the arena after shooting the first three songs! They couldn’t even stay for the show. Luckily for me The Strokes hooked me up with a backstage pass so we all watched the show from the side of the stage passing a bottle of red wine back and forth. Here’s Nick and Fab signing a birthday card!

I saw Taylor Tomlinson's Save Me Tour and it is SO FUCKING GAY

man, that was such a good show. I drove two hours to Hartford to see it because my friend bought us some tickets for Christmas (thank you Ephy! Love you) and as much as I hate driving long distances (I am an American and I know this isn't actually a long distance, but I had driving more than an hour in any direction don't at me), this was totally worth it. As was the overnight hotel stay because we had an absolutely phenomenal view of the Capitol building and the park right across from our hotel.

But the show was...chef's kiss.

The opener was Jay Jurden, who is black, gay, and absolutely hilarious. He talks about being gay and his love for trans and nonbinary people and his white husband and he was just amazing. Taylor has great openers. Last time, her opener was her best friend, Dustin Nickerson, who was also great. Their sets had me crying with laughter.

And Taylor's set was so unapologetically queer. She talked about the difference between being with a guy vs. being with a woman and how she much prefers going down on a woman...

When she was actually comparing the two, she asked the crowd "who here actually likes giving blowjobs?" and the gay male couple behind me were the loudest in the room, which mad me absolutely die laughing.

She did have a heckler during one part of the show where she does her crowd work because she was talking about officially making her living will (which she says you should do no matter what age because there are some things you just don't want to go to your parents as your next of kin and you should have all your wishes written down in a legal document) and she was asking the crowd about how they want to be buried/cremated/etc.

One guy had a plan where he wanted to have a viking funeral and had already designated a child to shoot the arrow that will light his little raft on fire. It was pretty cool and Taylor worked well to make it into a good, light-hearted and respectful joke.

They moved on, but then a guy shouted from the back and she gentle-parented him in a way that had the rest of us howling. He wanted to do something with popcorn kernels or something and she was putting on that exaggerated "omg really? that's so nice, buddy. Good for you!" kind of thing that got brought up later during their little Q&A on the pew later.

God, the show was so fucking funny. I love Taylor Tomlinson. I'm so happy that she's living her best life despite the religious trauma that she suffered in her youth. She's doing such a great job. If you can, please go see her show. It was really amazing and no two shows are the same, so she will always have fresh material (especially if there are more moments like last night in Hartford).

I tried to keep it to one city per state/region so everyone got a fair shake, but please bring up hyper specific cities in the tags.

CoraCora, West Hartford CT.

ARROZ NORTENO: Northern Peruvian-style cilantro rice. Mixed seafood, rice, green peas, red bell peppers, choclo; seasoned with a cilantro and Aji Amarillo base, topped with red onion salad.

CHAUFA Peruvian-style fried rice mixed with scallions, red bell peppers, chopped egg; all sauteed in wok with soy sauce and black tiger shrimp.

CoraCora is an authentic Peruvian restaurant. I have been wanted to try this restaurant for a few years now because my brother and sister in law rave about it. So for my Birthday dinner they took me there!!

They have happy hour, so we had to have some drinks and appetizers! For apps we got the Empanadas, Yuca Rellena, Rumba Chalaca and Tequenos which were delicious!

I ordered the ARROZ NORTENO Paella and it was delicious. This was one of the best Paellas I have ever had. The seafood was fresh, I loved the cilantro rice and the veggies added a freshness to the dish. I loved every bite!

We did get dessert, and I love churros so I was very pleased with this sweet treat. And they surprised me with a chocolate cake for my birthday!! They made me feel very special! 🥳

I would recommend @coracoract to anyone in the West Hartford area. The food was delicious, the services was great and you can tell the chefs put a lot of love into their food!!

Based on presentation and taste of all the food at @coracoract I would rate my dish and all the food I tried a 10 out of 10. 🥳

Convention photos backlog!

ConnectiCon 2023 I only went for Friday of. Luckily, that was the day of the Twisted Wonderland photoshoot so that part worked out. I wore the ceremonial robes as Idia for the first time. There's a few things that I need to fix on it, but overall it looked nice!

The only issue was that none of the CTcon staff directed me towards disability registration while I was standing outside leaning on my cane with my full body weight for 2 hours before they started allowing people inside.

The overall experience was nice, although I don't know if I'll do it again. Previously, it had been a little over a decade when I last attended CTcon.

Please tag yourselves! I'm not sure that I follow everyone on here. :0

I had a busy and exciting weekend at Retro World Expo in Hartford! This was my first time tabling at Retro World Expo. My table was two tables away from another game developer who I met at Connecticut Gamer Con earlier this year. There I had inspired him to promote his games at conventions. The convention community is surprisingly small and interconnected.

While there, I ate at a somewhat upscale Caribbean-inspired restaurant called The Russell and also at a breakfast/lunch restaurant called The Place 2 Be. I’ve been to the Springfield location, and the Hartford The Place 2 Be has a very different aesthetic.

Like at Too Many Games Expo, I hosted a free raffle at my table. I will announce the winners of the raffle in the near future!

Deep Cleaning Services in Avon, CT: Transforming Your Home from Top to Bottom

Keeping your home clean and organized is a priority for most homeowners, but over time, dirt, dust, and grime can accumulate in hard-to-reach places. Routine cleaning may not always address those hidden spots, and that’s where deep cleaning comes in. For residents of Avon, CT, deep cleaning services offer a more thorough and detailed cleaning solution that ensures your home looks, smells, and feels fresh from top to bottom.

Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion, tackling seasonal cleaning, or just want a complete refresh, deep cleaning services in Avon can help restore your home to its original beauty. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of deep cleaning, what’s typically included in a deep cleaning service, and how to choose the right service provider in Avon, CT.

What is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning is a comprehensive cleaning process that goes beyond the basics of regular tidying. While routine cleaning focuses on daily or weekly chores like vacuuming, dusting, and wiping down surfaces, deep cleaning targets areas that are often overlooked or neglected. It involves a more intense and detailed approach to cleaning every room in your home.

Key tasks involved in a deep cleaning include:

Dusting high surfaces such as ceiling fans, light fixtures, and vents.

Scrubbing baseboards and door frames, which tend to accumulate dust and dirt.

Cleaning behind and under furniture and appliances that often get missed in regular cleanings.

Washing windows inside and out, including cleaning sills and tracks.

Shampooing carpets or deep cleaning upholstered furniture to remove stains and dirt.

Sanitizing bathrooms to remove soap scum, mold, mildew, and grime from tiles, grout, and fixtures.

Disinfecting kitchen appliances and countertops to remove grease, stains, and food residue.

Essentially, deep cleaning involves giving your home the attention it needs to look as pristine as possible, inside and out.

Why Should You Consider Deep Cleaning in Avon, CT?

Deep cleaning offers several important benefits for homeowners in Avon, CT. Here are some of the key reasons why you should consider hiring a professional cleaning service for deep cleaning:

Healthier Living Environment: Over time, dust, allergens, bacteria, and mold can accumulate in your home, leading to poor air quality and potential health issues. A deep cleaning helps eliminate these harmful particles, making your home a healthier environment, especially for people with allergies or respiratory problems.

Time-Saving: Deep cleaning can be a time-consuming and physically demanding task. Hiring a professional cleaning service allows you to focus on other important tasks in your life, while the cleaning team tackles the hard work for you. It’s especially helpful if you have a busy schedule or a large home.

Enhanced Home Aesthetics: A deep clean can bring new life to your home. After a professional deep cleaning, your home will look fresher, brighter, and more inviting. Whether you want to impress guests, prepare for a family gathering, or simply enjoy a clean home, a deep cleaning service can help transform your space.

Preventing Long-Term Damage: Regular cleaning can prevent dirt and grime buildup, but deep cleaning addresses issues that, if left unchecked, could lead to long-term damage. For example, mold and mildew in bathrooms or kitchen grease buildup can cause discoloration and even structural damage if not cleaned properly.

Better Organization: As part of the deep cleaning process, professionals often help declutter spaces, organizing items in a more manageable way. This not only makes your home look tidier but can also reduce stress and make daily life more organized and efficient.

What’s Included in a Deep Cleaning Service in Avon, CT?

The exact services provided by deep cleaning companies can vary, but most packages cover a range of areas in your home. Here’s what you can generally expect when you hire a professional deep cleaning service:

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Deep Cleaning Service in Avon, CT

Expertise and Experience: Professional cleaning services have trained teams who know the best techniques and products to use for different surfaces and cleaning challenges. Their experience means they can tackle even the toughest stains and grime with ease.

Advanced Equipment: Deep cleaning often requires specialized equipment and high-quality cleaning products that can’t be found in your typical home cleaning supplies. Professional cleaners have access to tools like steam cleaners, industrial vacuums, and eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

Flexible Scheduling: Many cleaning services in Avon offer flexible scheduling options, whether you need a one-time deep clean, regular cleanings, or seasonal cleaning services. This flexibility ensures that the service can fit seamlessly into your life, even with a busy schedule.

Peace of Mind: With a professional cleaning service, you can rest assured that every area of your home will be thoroughly cleaned. You won’t have to worry about missing spots or having to do the hard work yourself.

Long-Term Savings: Although deep cleaning is an investment, it can save you money in the long run by preventing damage to your home’s surfaces and furnishings. Regular deep cleaning can also help preserve the life of your carpet, upholstery, and appliances, avoiding costly repairs or replacements.

How to Choose the Right Deep Cleaning Service in Avon, CT

When selecting a deep cleaning service in Avon, CT, consider these factors to ensure you’re choosing a reputable and reliable company:

Reputation and Reviews: Look for a cleaning service with positive reviews from other Avon residents. Online ratings and word-of-mouth referrals can help guide your decision.

Licensing and Insurance: Make sure the cleaning service is properly licensed and insured. This ensures the company is legitimate and protected in case of accidents or damages during the cleaning process.

Customized Packages: Choose a cleaning service that offers flexible packages tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need a full-home deep clean or just specific areas addressed, find a company that can accommodate your preferences.

Experienced Staff: Opt for a service that employs experienced, professional cleaners who have the skills to handle your home with care and expertise.

Transparent Pricing: Request a detailed estimate before hiring a cleaning company to ensure their pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees.

Conclusion

Deep cleaning services in Avon, CT, offer homeowners a thorough, professional solution to ensure their homes remain clean, healthy, and well-maintained. Whether you need a one-time deep clean or regular seasonal service, hiring a professional cleaning company can save you time and energy while delivering outstanding results.
