Tops Workers: Still Getting Screwed

Former Tops workers, despite being out-of-luck because, you know, they lost their jobs and all, are now being faced with a bill. That’s right, a bill. Tops has “figured out” that they over paid a lot of their empoyees for severance pay and holiday pay. Word on the street is that Tops is going to have a little trouble getting that money back. “Why?” you ask? Mostly because those people who owe you money don’t have jobs.

Cleveland Schools Safe, Despite the Shootings

Nothing spells safety like two people getting shot. At least that seems to be the message the Cleveland Schools CEO and Cleveland Public Safety Director are saying. Two fights broke out at a local school, the second one ending in two people going to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and three people getting arrested. Obviously, this is not a daily incident, but I’m going to say that it also doesn’t sound like the safest thing on the planet.

The Warped Tour Now Generating Even More Money

How is it possible that poser-fest.. excuse me, Warped Tour is able to get money for itself even in the offseason? OH! That’s it! Have an exhibit at the extremely over priced Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Warped: 12 Years of Music, Mayhem, and More will be open until September third and will feature memorabilia from such “legends” as No Doubt and Taking Back Sunday (seriously I’ll probably go see the TBS stuff). If you can’t wait for summer, check the article here.

America Has The World’s Best Taste in Movies

The #1 movie in America this past weekend, making $44.5 MILLION, more than doubling its nearest competitor, opening on a Friday without any press pre-screening, Oscar nominee for Best Movie of the Year Starring Nicholas Cage (Against the Machine), GHOST RIDER!!! That’s right people. $44.5 MILLION!!! GHOST RIDER!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

Finally!!! More pics!!!

Be prepared though- there are a lot of Self Destruct Button and Clan of the Cave Bear pics… it’s mostly due to my complete lack of motivation to actually leave the house, but there is some fun stuff in here.

First, check out some images from Chris Kolsar’s send-off show at Pat’s in the Flats, featuring J.J. Magazine. These pictures were taken by Brandon Miller and Amanda Clark.

The rest of the pictures are from this year. You can view them all here. I took most of them.

Got an event you would like to see pictured here? Feel free to invite the staff of MyFriendCleveland.com, and we will try our hardest to be there. Check out our Events calendar, you can add your own events!!
If you’re in the need for more pictures, check out Low Muenz’s stuff. He is, in my opinion, the best band photographer in Cleveland.
