Delilah DeWylde At Felt Mansion, July 28

Delilah DeWylde is a staple of the West Michigan music scene, dating back to the mid 90s in the Grand Rapids rockabilly scene. Her and the band are, honestly, one of the most consistently fun live acts in Michigan. Family-friendly shows are good and wholesome, then there are some more PG-13 shows with slight bits of adult humor.

I got to see the band at Felt Mansion on July 28, 2022, during one of the final shows of a free concert series. The Holland Classic Car Club was there as well, with a little car show featuring the best in 40s and 50s car design. The setlist included Delilah DeWylde standards such as Patsy Cline's Walkin After Midnight and Rock Around The Clock from Bill Haley And The Comets. Anyway, feast your eyes on some awesome shots from this awesome night!

The Melon Heads of Felt Mansion

Felt, a wealthy businessman from Chicago, situated on Shore Acres Farm (present location of Saugatuck Dunes State Park). Within a few days of being completed in 1928, Agnes Felt passed away.

In 1949, the estate was sold by the family to the Archdiocese of Chicago and was used as a seminary, called Saint Augustine Seminary. By 1962, cloistered nuns moved in, and a boarding school was established. This is all verifiable by Archdiocese of Chicago records, and by yearbooks, available at Herrick District Library in Holland. The Seminary was closed and the property was sold t...

XFinity Sucks. Or, Why I'm Excited For Holland BPW Fiber To Come Through Our Neighborhood

The whole thing started in October - we hit the data cap for our XFinity plan in 2 or 3 days. I didn't know we had a data cap on our XFinity plan, so I was befuddled. Problem is, you can't just call XFinity, you must escalate your ticket up their chain of command: Start with their AI chatbot, escalate to a human typing on the other end of the chatroom, get transferred to an AI phone operator, escalate that to any number of human phone operators. Somewhere in that initial escalation, they discovered that we weren't on an actual plan from them, and the services we had weren't even offered by them anymore - our account had slipped through the cracks. Their "solution" to the massive data leak was to give sell us the premium tier service with no data cap...which didn't actually solve anything, it just passed the buck down the road. By October 6 or 7, we had blown through another terrabyte of data, so I reached out to Customer Service agai...
