THE HANGOVER is the latest comedy from Todd Phillips, the director of Old School.
The premise is simple: four guys go to Las Vegas for a routine weekend bachelor party at Caesar’s Palace.
What are you doing on Wednesday May 27th?
If you didn’t like the outcome of this year’s Celebrity Apprentice… and who did?… then this is your chance to join in a little good natured revenge with proceeds going to Refugees International.
(I mean really – while I admit that the last few Celebrity Apprentice episodes were hysterically entertaining, everyone knows that the best quality finale would have been between Jesse James vs Annie Duke. That would have been awesome. And we would next like to see Annie and Jesse take on Dancing with the Stars next. But I digress.)
What do you need to do to join in the fun? Just join poker champion Annie Duke at the SUCKING OUT ON THE RIVERS POKER TOURNAMENT at the Hard Rock Casino’s poker room in Las Vegas.
Annie Duke and renowned Joan Rivers impersonator Frank Marino are joining forces on this charity poker tournament. Buy-in is $200 (with re-buys), and they expect a few poker pros to come out and join the fun. There are also going to be 20 other Joan Rivers impersonators playing along, each one with a bounty on their head for the lucky player who knocks them out.
Advance information is saying that the tournament is going to start at 6pm, but considering how much fun this sounds like, I wouldn’t be surprised if it started later and ran long into the night.
Full press release after the break.
PROGRESS CITY USA has posted #3 on their list of TEN WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR: OVERHAUL DISNEY TRANSPORTATION, and I couldn’t agree more.
To quote:
Basically, unless you’re just going from your hotel to a theme park and back, internal transportation is a headache. Fixing the system would require a massive investment, tackling many separate goals simultaneously. It would require an entirely different plan for the resort’s infrastructure, and it’s needed immediately. They won’t do it, but they should.
I have one suggestion that would address this current transportation problem at Walt Disney World with an idea that would dramatically increase guest satisfaction. It won’t solve the immediate issue at hand, but keeping guests happy in the short run can buy some time until a better transporation plan is developed.

As we’ve all seen the local news stories during sweeps week, or on practically any episode of CSI – some hotel rooms can be filled with nasty germs and bugs.
That’s where THE SLEEP SACK comes in.
You always see a few people in the airport, carrying their own pillows with them. For them, either the hotel pillows are never good enough, or perhaps there’s a hypo-allergenic reason to bring one’s own pillow with them.
And while travellers often fear the pillow bug, for the most part, one never thinks much about the hotel room’s bed linens. Sure, the coverlet may be a little nasty, but you’re not supposed to use that as a blanket anyway. Just throw the coverlet on the floor like everyone else does. The sheets should be clean, right?
Right?

I know what one of the first applications any new iPhone-owning Disney fan is going to want to go out and buy from the iPhone Apps Store: the DISNEYLAND PARK PLANNER from HyTech Professionals.
Sure, the park planner has the basics down that any decent park planner would have: scrollable/zoomable map, restaurant menus, park and show hours, attraction descriptions, FastPass locations, etc.
But where the “DPP” shines is with special features that utilize two built-in features that the iPhone has: geotargeting, and interactivity with the Internet.
The geotargeting app is handy, as the DPP can pinpoint your location within the park and then direct you to the nearest restroom, restaurant, attraction, or food stand that you are looking for – the ultimate Disney tour guide in your pocket.
But even better is when you use the DPP to tell you what rides have the shortest wait times. Sure, Disney has come up with a way to do this with their Official Cell Phone Sponsor, Verizon – available for all Verizon subscribers in the parks – but the DPP opens up this information to everyone who is using the DPP.
To better describe how this works, let me explain how Disney calculates their ride wait times:

FLIGHTS FROM HELL is one of those websites that you know has always existed as whispered conversations overheard in the airline club rooms, and exposed a little bit at a time on TV shows such as A&E’s AIRLINE.
We learn that plane travel is not necessarily as glamorous as it once was, and depending on the flight you’re taking (Orlando destinations tend to be filled with screaming kiddies in both directions), or the airline you’re flying on (Southwest appears to be a leader, if only based on what they’ve shown on that TV show), we all can say that at one time or other, we’ve all been on a FLIGHT FROM HELL.

Last night, CBS pre-empted THE AMAZING RACE to show some lame awards show. Don’t they realize that all the TAR fans want to do is watch Phil and the racers wander the world for our amusement?
Many of my friends have the same philosophy when it comes to appearing on a reality-TV show: they won’t do it. (Granted, one person I know did whore himself out to the reality TV gods, and everything seemed to work out okay for him, so maybe my survey sample needs to be increased a little bit.)
Still, if you are interested in experiencing The Amazing Race as a vacation instead of as a game show, you will want to check out COMPETITOURS: THE AMAZING RACE FOR REGULAR PEOPLE.
