What Live Events do You Go To?

Recently I had the pleasure of going to see Family Guy Live and the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Nightman Cometh musical on stage. These were the first two shows I have seen in a while, and they were awesome! So much fun. It reminded me that I have to get out more and do stuff. And that is where sites like ACheapSeat.com come in handy.

The website is a privately owned ticket agency that buys and resells tickets. They specialize in securing tickets to really hard to get into venues and events. They also sell tickets to a wide variety of events; including concerts, festivals, musicals, plays, sporting events, dog shows, circus events, and comedy shows to name a few.

Need St. Pete Times Forum Tickets? They got them. How about Sesame Street Live Tickets? Yup those also. Wanna catch the Lakers and need Staples Center Tickets? You’ve guessed it, they have ‘em.

I think that the next event I attend is going to be a concert. Any suggestions on who I should see? What live events do you go to?

Hollywood the Game

We’ve talked about Hollywood the Game in the past; it is an online Hollywood/Filmmaking simulation game.

Today they celebrated more than 5 years of gaming with their 10th HTG Awards, which celebrates the scripts and virtual films that are released in the game.

Last week, they launched their 8th season of TV simulation, where three broadcast styled networks release programming on a weekly basis and compete for better ratings and sponsors.  All of the virtual TV shows are written scripts (prose is also accepted), which have been cast with Hollywood’s biggest stars, advertised to the community, and reviewed by critics. If you’d like to join in, new TV shows are still being looked at by networks. Click here for more details on how to join.

Since I started My Hollywood Dream I get contacted to talk about a lot of different products and websites.  Everything from travel, to Dish Network, and even Tofurkey Soda. But with out a doubt, Thatsmyshirt.com has some of the coolest products that I’ve had a pleasure to browse. On the image above, you can see hoodies that mimic DC Comics heroes Aquaman and Batman’s costumes and a wicked T-shirt that is styled after the Joker’s costume. These are so freaking badass. In addition to these, they have a Wonder Woman costume styled T-shirt, and for Marvel Comics fans they have ones for Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Hulk.

In addition to the superhero stuff, they have Thatsmyshirt.com Junk Food Tees, Movie, TV, Vintage, Halloween, Sports, and Video Game Tees (to name a few of their categories). Here are three more examples of shirts they sell…

The Pinky and the Brain shirt takes me back to my childhood, I’ve never seen a cool shirt like this that features them before. The Chuck Norris shirt is pretty cool also, they have a bunch of different Norris ones. This is my favorite of the mix. I’ve also seen a lot of comics book character shirts in the past, but this Hulk vs Thing shirt is awesome on so many levels. The shirt focuses on one of my favorite comic book rivalries.

You can also check them out on the Thatsmyshirt Fan Page over on Facebook.

Contest: The Oscars and Pizza

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.

This Sunday, March 7th, is the 82nd Annual Academy Awards and what better way is there to celebrate the year’s best films than by throwing a big party? And what better treat is there for a party than pizza? That is why we’re teaming up with Tony’s Pizza to give away free coupons for their newest creation, Crispy Crust Pizza.

The delicious new version of their classic oven pizza comes in pepperoni, cheese and supreme styles. How do you take home yours? It is very easy!

Leave us a comment on this article with what movie you think will take home the best picture Oscar on Sunday. Nominated for the top honor in film are a very interesting mix of films this year, including Avatar, The Blind Side, District 9, An Education, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Precious, A Serious Man, Up, and Up in the Air.

Personally, I think that Avatar is going to take home the award. I saw it in Imax 3D and was completely blown away. It is the type of film that reminds us why we go to theaters to escape in the first place. James Cameron crafted a visually stunning and epic film with characters you could really care about. The story has been told before in the past, but never like this.

Feel free to post your comments until the Saturday after the Oscars (March 13th, 2010) and we will draw multiple winners. Wait? That is after the Oscars, yeah, we know, but you can still enjoy the pizza with a Movie Night or after a long day of work. Note: This contest is only for our USA residents.

Superboy Continues to Fly at the CW!

Smallville: The New Adventures of Lois and Clark?

It is official, Smallville will return to the CW for its 10th season! And maybe, just maybe we’ll be seeing Clark wear the familiar red and blue costume that is beloved by millions. Here is an official press release from the network:

“SMALLVILLE” TO RETURN FOR A TENTH SEASON ON THE CW

March 4, 2010 ( Burbank , California ) ─ The CW Network has announced that its hit series “Smallville” will return in the fall of 2010 for a momentous tenth season.

“Smallville,” a modern retelling of the Superman legend, stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent . The series moved to Friday nights this season, where it currently ranks as network television’s #1 show in its time period among men 18-34 and men 18-49. Additionally, “Smallville” has dramatically improved The CW’s ratings performance in its Friday 8:00-9:00p.m.time period by 67% among adults 18-34 (1.5/6), 200% in men 18-34 (1.8/7), 75% in adults 18-49 (1.4/5), 183% in men 18-49 (1.7/6) and 74% in total viewers (3.12million).

“Smallville” joins the five previously announced series – “The Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” “Supernatural” and “ America ’s Next Top Model” – which will all return for another season on The CW.

“Smallville” was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (“Shanghai Noon,” “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

The show has really begun to utilize its DC Comics roots and I hope that continues into the new season. I’d love to see more of the JSA, the L.E.G.I.O.N., Impulse, Cyborg, etc and I hope they continue using real comic villains, how cool Metallo earlier in the season? And who doesn’t love Zod?

Are you excited about Smallville getting a new season? Or did you give up on the show a long time ago?
