FOX 47 Idol is back.  We’re in Winona tonight, Mason City on Thursday, and Rochester next Tuesday.  Go to the website for more details.

So for today’s blog, we have…

the top websites I tend to visit that you may or may not know about…

Snopes.com – The Urban Legend Reference Page  -  This page is seriously cool.  Anything you have questions about…those stinking chain e-mails you get.  Anything.  It’s great!

Eeggs.com – Easter eggs in DVDs, software, movies, music, and more!  -  An easter egg is a hidden feature that most people don’t know about in DVDs, software, etc…  The coolest one I found was in Monsters, Inc.  If you click a paper airplane on one of the menu screens, it leads to this feature on this paper airplane contest the creators of Monsters, Inc. had.  The animators, the tech people, everyone.  Trying to get an airplane to fly the longest.  It was funny to see some of the creations.

IMDB.net – The Internet Movie Database – Questioning who that actress who guest starred in that tv show last night???  Find out here.  Every actress, every actor, every movie, every TV show, everything you can think of.  It’s all right here.

Alright…I must depart.  Idol auditions are calling!

HEROES!!! September 22nd, I can’t wait!  I can’t wait!  I just saw a preview during America’s Got Talent and I can’t wait!

Have I said I’m excited yet?  Heroes: Villians!  The last volume of Heroes left A LOT to be desired, but Heroes:Villians looks like it’s back up to par with volume one.  This is what Hereos is all about.  Trying to battle evil.  The infamous "company". 

IN EVERY HERO THERE COULD BE A VILLAIN!

Watch the preview by CLICKING HERE!

Wow!  I want to go back and watch my volume one season now.  YEAH!

As I’ve said, I LOVE the 4th.  This year was no exception.  Stewartville knows how to have a 4th of July celebration.  From the arts in the park to the parade to the fireworks, it was AWESOME!!!

And hey, I even got to shake Joe Franken’s hand (Al Franken’s son). 

I didn’t lose my voice, but I tried my hardest.  We screamed for EVERY float like they were the last float left on earth.  It was great.  Seeing the people smiling and laughing as we hooted and hollered.

Anyways, I love the 4th.  I hope you all enjoyed your 4th, too.

Next week, we’ll finally find out who wins the chance to be Gordan Ramsey’s new executive chef.  I’m excited.  I mean who wouldn’t be?  I was so happy last week when Corey was finally kicked off Hell’s Kitchen.  She was horrible and said horrible thinks about Christina.  I don’t really care for Petrozza, but I’m glad he and Christina are the two that made it to the finals.

Okay, now I have to say that I’m from Stewartville and have never really been big on Rochesterfest.  When I worked at the Clinic, I went down to eat for lunch.  When I worked at the parking ramps, it sucked.  Now, I work at the TV station.  It’s fun.

What I’m actually writing about here is Friday night’s band.  Next 2 Nothing.  I gotta tell ya up front that my brother, Chris, is in the band, so I may be biased.  They performed well on Friday and I think the crowd seemed to like it.  The singer guy (I forget his name…sorry!!!) he works well with the crowd.  The people listening were singing and dancing.  I was in the back of the crowd and heck, I was even singing.  (By the way, my voice stinks…)  But I think it turned out well.

The 4th of July is on Friday and with that brings the parade in Stewartville.  I LOVE STEWARTVILLE’S PARADE!!!  If anyone wants to find me, just listen for the loud cheering section near the end of the parade.
