Video Fun: Horse Carriage Music Videos in New Orleans

Bands are always trying to figure out what the “next big thing” can be in making their music videos more interesting and engaging with their fans.

You could do the same thing (concert video) that everyone else does, or you could work outside of your comfort zone and do something a bit different — both in film style as well as music style.  Why lipsync when you can play live in a unique venue?

10 Most Annoying Beach / Sunbathing Activities

What do you like to do when you go to the beach on vacation?

Are you a total sunbather, just hanging out on your lounge and never going into the water?  Or are you a more active person, playing volleyball, surfing, digging sand castles?

Different people like to do different things while at the beach – but everyone needs to remember that the beach is a shared experience, and you don’t want to do anything to be THAT guy (or THAT girl) while hanging out on a beautiful day.

Do you believe in magic? REAL magic? Maybe you should…

Web Watch readers know that Web Watch appreciates a good magic show.

The key for us in watching a good magic show is being able to escape from the practical, logical mind and stop wondering about how David Copperfield or Penn & Teller do their acts and enjoy the illusions for what they are.  As the old saying goes, don’t ruin the magic.

The illusions aren’t the same once you know how they’re done, or at least have thought of a plausible way for the trick to be accomplished.  You spend all your time looking for the hook and not appreciating the trick for the trick.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?

Some people don’t venture far from their own personal comfort zone when it comes to trying new foods. It’s why any FOOD CHALLENGE episode of any SURVIVOR season is always so much fun, as we watch people who are much hungrier than they normally would be throw their inhibitions away to get something – anything – into their stomachs.
