The Future is Now: Social, Mobile, PayPal, UGC + Tagged Outing at Nats vs. Cubs
While we are certainly a biased sampling of hyper tech, tweet and device users, I do believe our experience of the game is one that is, in some ways, the future of how we as humans experience collective events like baseball games, concerts and rallies.
Trailer Time Capsule: Clueless
Starting in February of 2009, rumors began to swirl on the web that a sequel to Clueless was in the works, generated by a promising statement made by Alicia Silverstone.

Someone once asked me what my favorite thing in the world was, and I responded “a day in bed with reruns of Golden Girls!” So now you’re asking why this one of my favorite things?

This is why the Special Olympics asked individuals to participate in “Spread the Word to End the Word” on March 31st, 2009 – a campaign to raise the consciousness of society about the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the R-Word and urge people to resolve to stop using it as an insult, casual or intended.
“Zero to Hero” – The American Idol Phenomenon and Anoop Desai
I must begin this blog by declaring that I in fact, work in the Entertainment industry and was an American Idol virgin before this season. Now, just like over 20 million other Americans out there, I am addicted to the show.

The Trailer Time Capsule: Scream
In 1996, horror master Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes, Swamp Thing) decided to poke a little fun at the slasher-film genre by bringing us the first self-aware horror film, Scream. The film introduced a new brand of horror film I like to call “smart horror.” This is a genre I perceive to be deemed “smart” for acting as a more sophisticated horror film which appeals to a much broader audience.
