Please, Call Her Miss Shaw!
On The Lakefront You’re probably wondering why I’m writing about the soulful, country-dipped, rock n’ roll blended, New Orleans bluesy sound of Amanda Shaw on a blog called Ken’s Alternate Universe. Well, in all honesty it’s because I like Miss Shaw’s work. Plus, she and I both call Louisiana home and I never hesitate toContinue reading “Please, Call Her Miss Shaw!”

TheseContinue reading “A “Serial” Killer Event!”

Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)
Lafayette, LA For a city that has been growing rapidly over the past few years, Lafayette has yet to attract a solid pop culture convention.
