Star Wars Celebration 2010 brings Smiles to Orlando

I know the Star Wars Celebration V happened this past weekend here in town, so I decided to try and find some video from the event. I found some crappy video, and lots of “get ready for it” type videos. The best one I’ve seen to date is actually semi-officialy created by the Orange County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, with their Orlando Smiles campaign. Last year, they had a contest and eventually hired a couple to create a video every day for 67 days… not sure why 67 exactly, but there it is… and now there is this damn good video about the official fan convention for Star Wars, held at the Orange County Convention Center, not far from several huge theme parks and tons of attractions and other touristy activities. Must be pretty cool for people who don’t live here.

From August 12 – 15, 2010 more than 25,000 fans from all over the world gathered in Orlando, Florida to celebrate the phenomenon that is Star Wars. Here’s a look at the festivities hosted by one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations.

Thunder Hag in Thunderland: Orlando’s Newest Puppet-Rock Band?

This reminds me of an old joke…

A smurf, a dragon-lady, and a witch doctor walk in to a bar. The robot bartender asks…

Thunder Hag

Curious about the lineup of this band, I dug a bit and discovered a link to Hannah, Brian Feldman’s wife, who he married for artistic and political reasons last week.

In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
