CC 2016

I'm a little late posting this, but I'm on Company Convenience again!  It started Wednesday, May 4th.  My paper says I return July 11th, but I'll probably have to go back before then.  Not that I'm hoping that's the case.  I wouldn't go back until August or September or October if they let me off that long!

I won a Batman v Superman prize pack from Malco Theatres

On March 23, Malco Theatres began a contest.

That day, I answered the question correctly, and two days later, I was one of the four winners! So on March 30, I received my prize pack in the mail: a medium Batman v Superman t-shirt, a Dorbz Batman vinyl collectible, and a Dorbz Superman vinyl collectible.

Sounds vs. Timberwolves: Season Ticket Growl Towels & more

This past Friday, February 19, was the first day that current +Memphis Grizzlies season ticket holders could renew their season tickets for next year.  So that night, at the game vs. Minnesota at FedExForum, Growl Towels were waiting for every season ticket holder at their seat.  It was also a Memphis Sounds game.  It was also the first game for the recently acquired Chris "Birdman" Andersen and P.J. Hairston, which meant they wore Sounds uniforms for a game before they wore Grizzlies uniforms!

We were going to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe, but decided not to.  It would have been our first time eating at its new location. But I had to get a selfie from inside the Hard Rock with this cool view of Beale Street out the window.

The shirt that spoke to me

I was looking for a shirt in my closet yesterday to wear to the Grizzlies game last night.  I found this one, which was a giveaway from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee earlier this season at the November 20th game.

Then I viewed the back of it.

As I looked at the top line, which says Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, I heard the TV in the living room say, "Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee," at the exact same time.  Freaky, huh?  Needless to say, I made sure I wore this shirt to the game...apparently I was meant to!

Star Wars In Concert returns in 2016...so we'll be seeing it again!

Just opened up my (Target Exclusive) CD copy of the soundtrack to Star Wars: The Force Awakens and was pleasantly surprised to see the following card inside!

Star Wars In Concert toured around here a few years ago.  It told the story of Episodes I - VI, narrated by Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), while an orchestra played Star Wars music.  There were also props on display from the movies.  When the tour dates were first announced, Memphis wasn't on the list of cities, so +Barbra McLaughlin , +Kaitlin Sexton , and I had to go to Nashville to see it.  The show was on December 13, 2009.

Later on, another leg of cities were announced, and Memphis finally made it on the list.  So this time, +Scott Mcnutt , +Ted Millikan , and I went to the concert.  It was at FedExForum on May 18, 2010.

So it'll be awesome to see the concert again this year.  And +Kariann Sexton didn't go to the other shows, so she'll finally get to see it.  And THIS year, Memphis better be on the FIRST leg of shows!

On a side note, Star Trek is also having their own orchestral concert tour this year called Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage, celebrating Star Trek's 50th anniversary.  And Memphis is actually one of the first stops on the tour!  It's coming to the Orpheum Theatre on January 29.  Of course, Barbra and I already have our tickets!
