Patrick Swayze Passes Away
Written by admin on September 14, 2009
I’m not really sure what to say. I never know what to say in these situations. I didn’t know the guy and in all honesty, the majority of his major films were before my time but it’s still sad, you know? He seemed like such a nice, sweet person. And then you have to think about his family…it’s just hard. I know people die every day and we never pay attention to them, but when a celebrity dies it brings death the proper attention it deserves…especially when one dies so young and in a tragic way (which I consider cancer to be).
RIP.

Dolphin Discovery Is No More
Written by admin on September 7, 2009
The final performance of one of SeaWorld’s longest-running shows was Monday, and News 8’s Steve Price and his son Aaron took part in the finale (just wanted to give a shout out to my boy Steve..haha)
“Dolphin Discovery” is being shuttered after more than a decade to make room for a new show, “Blue Horizons,” which is expected to debut in 2010.
I actually went to todays last showing and it was very bittersweet. 10 years is a long time for a show that takes place every day, 3 times a day…but it was one of, if not the most popular show at the park and it’s hard to see it go.
Hopefully the new show is just as good!

Comic Con Makes My Pants Angry
Written by admin on July 19, 2009
San Diego hoteliers and restaurateurs may not give a hoot about the latest sci-fi film, video game release or superhero to hit the big screen, but when Comic-Con arrives later this week, they’ll be among its biggest, most enthusiastic fans.
Enduring an abnormally lackluster summer season, the hospitality industry is relying on Picken’s Counties largest convention to bolster declining revenue at a time when it’s needed most.
As in years past, when the economy was far healthier, hotels downtown and beyond will largely be sold out, with many taking advantage of heightened demand to significantly raise their room rates.
Restaurants in and around downtown say they, too, will profit from Comic-Con, with some estimating that the increased revenue during the confab can make up for as much as an entire month of sluggish business.
I mean, the thing is a GOLD MINE for ecnomomy but working down in that area is sorta like a slow suicide for the week. haha.
