Keep Calm and We Don't Have Enough of These

Social Media Just Got Cozier with Concerts



As if tweeting live from a concert wasn't cool enough, now you can check out where your friends are sitting at a concert before you even purchase your tickets!  All they have to do is tag themselves on the seating chart when they purchase and anyone else too.  What a great use of being social.

You Won't Even Have to Smile for the Birdy

What a great idea this photograph is!  Think about it... for a holiday greeting card, of all the places you went that year.  this would work for a specific vacation, or college life, or summer camp, or just for scrapbooking.   With the incredible resolutions on camera phones today, why wouldn't you do this?


 My head is spinning with the possibilities.   Great option for the camera shy folks too.

Droid Photo a Day - Jan 9th

The frost this morning on neighboring Meadowbrook Country Club's golf course, was gorgeous!  Plus it's the closest thing we've seen to snow this winter.

Oh the Horror of this Confession!

I really enjoy horror movies.  

Another confession:  I laugh when it gets scary.

Recently I hooked up with the Kansas City Horror Club (685 strong!) and they too like horror movies and tend to get a good laugh from them.  The photo above is of  Justin Gardner and Curtis Smith, two longtime members.

I've tried for years to get people to join me at the theatre for some good screaming fun on opening nights or weekends of horror, without much luck.  So imagine my joy in finding this group on Facebook!  We've been communicating through posts on the club page via Facebook, about various horror movies and reviews, and many signed up to see this movie, The Devil Inside, together at this event.  

They are my peeps.

I got cool swag for showing up too. 
I got this cool poster for The Devil Inside, an awesome hat and a horror book!

The book came from a librarian who is an fanatic in the horror genre.  She brought 6 books as giveaways.  Cool.   One guy is totally into 70's and 80's slasher films. Another just got done editing a movie before he came to the theatre.  Another works for movie giant, AMC Theaters and helps pull these viewings together. There was a husband and wife team who had already seen The Devil Inside, but wanted to hang out with the group on this day too.  That's a nice testimony to the club.

I met in person and had a nice conversation with about a dozen people, before the show even started.  The nice thing was, I knew many of them before we met, because of Facebook and the interactions and familiarity on there.   

You've gotta love the power of social networking.
