Super Bowl 60!

Image
  For the past week or so, I have been doing some decorating at the venue for our upcoming Super-Bowl weekend. BABS did a nice job literally setting the stage for this party by setting up a football field with goal posts. Rowdi_Designs has also helped out a lot by adding such items as snacks and a bar in the end zone. On the opposite end is a stage and runway, where Delight will host a fashion show on Saturday evening, February 7th. Droopy is also going to spin records Saturday evening in a musical tribute to SB entertainers of the past 25 years. The Super Bowl watch party will take place on Sunday, February 8th -- doors will open at 6:00 pm Eastern Time with the kick-off at 6:30 pm. In decorating for this event, I decided to highlight certain players from past Super Bowl and playoff performances; you will see game jerseys for Joe Montana, Emmitt Smith, and Lynn Swann. Joe Montana set the standard for SB performances at the quarterback position, while Smith and Swann starred at th...

Photo Caption Contest!

  Update: Congratulations to Revenge_NL on his winning caption! While wandering the Fairgrounds recently, I jumped into this cozy hot-tub and snapped a photo. Then a few minutes ago, I wondered if someone could come up with a humorous caption for this picture. I am sure there are a gazillion possibilities, and we have lots of funny avies around. If you see me (matthewkg) walking around the Fairgrounds, IM me your funniest caption. Or shoot me a there.com email. I will record each one (one entry per avie) and award 6k to the winner and 3k to the runner-up. I will leave the judging up to the leader of The Writing Club, and the deadline will be Saturday, January 17th at 12:00 pm -- New York time. Note -- this will be blind judging. Avie names will not be included with the captions while being judged. Hit me up with your best caption! And be sure to visit diaryainzon's Writing-Room Clubhouse. Just look for the Gypsy caravan and red booth. She has lots of interesting content to read, in...

  There.com's 2025 New Year's party was a lot of fun; kudos to everyone who helped put this event together. My city had a big snowfall on December 31st, so it was nice to have a Plan B just a few clicks away.  Had some nice convos and enjoyed the fireworks...and everyone came to the party dressed to impress! I missed the flotilla flight earlier in the evening, but was able to catch a replay on Youtube. This past year was especially eventful for me since I opened Words and Lyrics cafe at Mango Market. I thought it would be fun to have a venue where creative works could be shared and promoted, as well as enjoy watching movies and other entertainment. Here is a summary of all the events I hosted in 2025... Words and Lyrics — 2025 Event Highlights June — Jaws Watch Party The summer kicked off with a splash as Spielberg’s classic proved it still has bite.
