Some photos from this weekend when my partner and I saw a fully analog 1968 Carl Zeiss Mark VI star projector In action at the planetarium:

Flower City Thaw.

Saw 9 bands in 6 venues all within a small city block. Pretty cool little one night festival, hopefully they see fit to do it again.

Apparently a good turnout at the #RochesterNY #HandsOff protest.

I worked all day :-/

Gears of decay

We are starting early this year finding the best deep-in-the-vault genre goodness from the Dryden Theatre to share with folks at this year's fest! Our eyeballs are ready to be filled!

Sadly, we need to cancel this show. We look forward to playing The Little in the near future. #rochesterny

I’m playing Saturday night with Kelley’s Heroes at The Little Theater cafe, in #RochesterNY. Music starts at 7. Admission is free, and all ages. #livemusic #music

It has been foretold. Anomaly Film Fest 2025. November 5-9.

So let the date be marked in gold,
A beacon bright, a tale retold.
For when the curtains rise anew,
The world shall watch in raptured view.

Keep watching...

We’ll be doing a lot of original music, as well as covering Wilco’s Either Way at the Little this Saturday. As simple as it sounds, it’s actually a fairly challenging song. Looking forward to playing it. #rochesterny #wilco #livemusic

For those live music fans in and around Rochester, here are some great shows coming up in February.

Made some dairy free spinach dip, from scratch, no soup mix packet. So of course I had to make some of my signature sourdough bread for ripping up to dip in it.

Such a yummy afternoon snack! This is about as open a crumb as I want in my sourdough, in fact this is a little too open for my tastes, but I was in a rush when I made this loaf so didn't press out as much air as I usually do before making my final loaf shape.

Next for January Giallo: FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET

Fri., Jan. 31 | 7:30pm

A 4k presentation of one of Dario Argento’s lesser-seen gialli! Help us close out January with a classic.

Join the podcastronauts as they reflect on the unforgettable (and sometimes truly surprising) events of the 2024 Anomaly Film Festival.

We may be biased, but this might have been the best fest yet.

It's kind of gray and dreary. The forecast keeps saying "partly cloudy", but the reality keeps turning up "overcast". I went to a rose garden not expecting much, but there were still a surprising number of blooms.

Introduction post!

We're Anomaly - The Rochester Genre Film Festival!

We're a Rochester, NY based fest in our 7th YEAR ⁠— ready to celebrate the latest and best independent genre movies from around the world!

Our team of organizers consists of local film-fans from many backgrounds, and every single one of us is (almost scarily) passionate about sharing, supporting, and advocating for these films.
