I made a goal earlier this year to visit all the state parks in Maryland (an easy choice since I live there). It's not a this-year type of goal, but more of an eventually goal. Last weekend I visited my fourth of the year, Gambrill State Park: https://stateparks.troyv.dev/md/gambrill-state-park/. It was the most difficult trail so far, but beautiful.

Nickelback is fine, actually! I listened to every one of their albums these last few weeks and even listened to a couple of them on repeat. This is more than I can say for some bands I try this experiment with. Check out my full write up at https://www.thisisa.band/nickelback/.

I am (or was) in a few bands.
- troyalllowercase: My solo project where I do whatever I want. It's got punk, it's got emo, it's sometimes instrumental. Support me on Bandcamp, or find me on your streaming service of choice (fuck Spotify).
- Bardic Compass: A prog rock band for people who love DnD. We have a Bandcamp.
- Front Royal: A punk/alternative/indie/punkternatindie band I was in. If that sounds like your thing, check it out on Bandcamp or your favorite streaming service or visit the website.
