Public Enemies Stuff

WELL - The new Johnny Depp movie is all over the USA Today and if you want to see some cool FIRST LOOK stuff check out the USA Today site.

Speaking of Public Enemies - The Fourth of July Parade is in desperate need of a Picture Car that wants to ride on a float. What car would not want to go on a ride on another vehicle. So give your Picture Car a treat. If you have such a car - give me a holler.

There have been lots of talk about the premier of Public Enemies some good some not so good. The one thing you should know is that Columbus did NOT hit the cutting room floor.

The town is mentioned in the credits and there are many scenes. HOWEVER - the exit of the bank robbery WAS cut. As for the reviews. On a personal level the only review I really listen to is Netflix. Seriously - Netflix is creepy good at telling me what I will and what I won't like.

I've rated 1054 movies that I have watched and it seems to have me dialed in. Many times I have rented a movie that TO ME looks great but Netflix says I will not like it. YUP - damn site was right!

It tells me that Public Enemies gets 4.2 out of 5 stars that I will like it. So I'M PUMPED. OH - for Jenny "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" got 3.1 out of 5 stars - it was about right!

SPREAD THE WORD - The movie time for the Columbus Premier is 7:15 and NOT 7:30. Bus will still load at 6:00 but for non-bus people be aware of the new time.

I also have word from people that seem to know a LOT that the Premier last Thursday and Friday might not have been the final cut. I have know idea on how Universal would handle the logistics but word is they are doing some more editing. Personally I can not see how this is possible.

BUS TICKETS. If you wanted a BUS Ticket from me and do not have it LET ME KNOW. OSH - yours are in the mail. I want to make sure I have everybody taken care of.

Whosit - you have 5 - this does not include Whosit Chelsea???? Just don't want to be redundant. There are about 30 NON-Bus tickets still available.
========================

OK - on another subject. You will be seeing photos of the Columbus Carriage Classic all of this week as I trudge through the 300+ photos I took. I still have 150 to go through.

I tried to give some 5x7s away but there is some photographer thing where professionals who make a living taking photos have first dibs on selling their . . . . "normal" photos that look . . . . . blah!!

I, on the other hand, offer something unique and I'll post them here and I'm creating a little Pirate website that hopefully, through word of mouth, will get to the CCC Contestants (also known as the CCCC) to take a peak.

The first photo I think is so funny. I love the kid in the back. "I CAN NOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SPEND THE ENTIRE WEEKEND HERE. I WISH I HAVE MY iPHONE!"


If you have never been to the CCC you really should make a point next year (I'll remind you). The horses are beautiful. I swear they would look at me and step a little higher. Seriously they would round the corner and be staring right at me and almost pose.

====================

WHAT?? you can not listen to Serious XM on a Mac? Because it's a Windows only Media player?? I AM SHOCKED!!!

Ham and eggs...A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.

Have a sticky day!! Cheers

  1. Love your photos! The color saturation - I don't know photography - really is awesome.

    Question: Do you change Pixie Girl's outfit several times a day? I swear she was wearing something different earlier this morning.

    Anybody interested in carpooling to the movie?

  2. Not sure where you get your info (mostly I think you just make it up but Sirius/XM works just fine on my Mac). I can listen to any Windows Media audio using a very simple and free plug-in called Flip4Mac.

  3. adubya - I was on a blog and people wee excited that iPhone now had an app for Sirius XM and they were all whining about not being able to listen to Sirius XM on their Macs.

    They were talking about older versions of MAC OS

    Mac OS X 10.3.9 is fine but older versions is not supported although SOME people have had success.

  4. I haven't tried anything older than 10.4 so I can't speak to really old OS versions.

    I know Flip4Mac has been around for quite awhile so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

    I was going to tell you about the Sirius/XM iphone app but I guess you already heard about it.

    Personally, I use Pandora and not XM online because they don't charge for it.

  10. I'm excited! My PE extravaganza begins this Friday night with a sneak peak of the Oshkosh Public Museum exhibit. Next Tuesday (June 3oth) we have all of the PE doings in downtown Oshkosh (I understand there will be at least four cars on display). Last night I purchased my advanced ticket for the movie. I will be seeing it On July 1 at 1:15 pm. Then we wrap up on July 4th with the monthly Gallery Walk which will feature some PE stuff.

    Hope everyone had great PE experiences.
