Life update and Angel Stadium Review!!!

Hey there everyone! So I'm knee deep in work dealing with a few projects under my belt. First one is The Letter Writing Project. I'm still busy writing strangers letters from all over the world and it's good to hear back from those of you who wrote back. Don't know how many of the people I write actually check my blog or found me through Twitter or Myspace, but it's just good to hear a good response.

Second, I'm in the middle of making a band. It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be ha, but I'm just having fun with it. Still looking for a singer a more members but it'll come when it comes. Here's the link to check out the site. I'm calling it Send Out The Search Party

Finally, I wrote a review for EventChaser. It's a site sponsored by Razor Gator.com where you can purchase Los Angeles Angels tickets. Needless to say, I LOVE the site. Here's where my review of Angel Stadium is at! Be sure to leave some comments and hey, even start an EventChaser account as well. Thanks for the support and write some funny stuff later. I'm working on some videos.

The Letter Writing Project- Week 2

Holy crapzilla this thing is blowing up like my mom's cooking. Well I got a TON of AMAZING response from people wanting to do participate in The Letter Writing Project. For the meantime, the new HQ of the ordeal will be at Myspace.com/TheLetterWritingProject. If you don't have a Myspace, go to the site anyways because I'm leaving it on Public view. Also, e-mail me at TheLetterWritingProject@gmail.com in pertaining to anything involving this cause. It's pretty gnarly that in one week alone, I've been getting a grip of e-mails.

Also, I want to just thank PassionforLetters.com, MissiveMaven.blogspot.com, and PostMuse. From you three I have gotten a few responses from your fellow bloggers and it's great to know that there are people out there still letter writing. Hopefully I can get the younger crowds to continue this whole thing.

That's it for now since I have to do a lot more stuff with this project. The more letters I send, the better this Project will get! Spread the word!

The Letter Writing Project- Day 1

What it do everyone? So I’ve been mumbling over this project that I have wanted to do for quite some time now. Plus, it’ll keep me busy while I have writers block on writing. Basically, I want to bring back letter writing.
Every year, there’s only one day that I actually get something hand written. As you can guess, it’s on my birthday. Although it’s not a thoroughly written letter, just having someone take the time to write something is pretty awesome. The only items we ever get in the mail now a days are bills, advertisements, and if you subscribe to this, Playboy. We hardly get postcards sent to us from our friends on vacations or even just from a family member writing a “Hey how are you? Johnny is in jail again and Mary Sue is pregnant at 18…again.” type of letter. It’s always done through e-mail, a text, or a picture message of Johnny being detained by the police. Well, I plan to bring back letter writing. Although I don’t have the greatest of penmanship or draw cute little hearts above my i’s, I want to start writing letters like the good ol days. Granted I was born in ’86 and the internet was hashed out by the time I was smart enough to Google boobs, I want to get this done.
So how am I going to do this? Well, I have no idea. I’ll probably just start promoting something on Twitter, Myspace, and the 18 friends I have on Facebook because I still don’t know how to look up people. Like all my other “ideas” I’m sure this one will fade out. Who knows though. It’s not like I’m setting up the World’s Largest Dodge ball game again or trying to start an indoor soccer team (both of those items are epic FAIL’s on my end) so maybe I can actually get random people who want me, some stranger and non-celebrity, to write them a letter. So if you want me to write you a letter email me at iBlogBetterThanYourMom@gmail.com with your name, address (or P.O. Box) and I will be sure to write you a random letter. It doesn't matter whether you live down the street from me, in the state of California, up in the boonies of Kentucky (I'm looking at your direction Andrew) or even in another country. I will write you a letter. If I’m rich enough, I’ll buy you return stamps so you can write back to me. I’m just a guy who wants to bring back the thrill of expecting a letter (other than a collection notice) in the mail again. I’ll be seeing you around everyone. Please if you can, pass on this site and the Letter Writing Project. Also if you can, write your friends letters. It'll make their day.

Best Site Ever. Check it out.

Hey everyone what is going on? Well finally after being a blogger and getting myself out there, I have finally been given a pretty sweet opportunity. As you know, I go out constantly to places all over California whether it is concerts, sporting events, or just new places. Thanks to this new site called EventChaser.com, they are giving me the opportunity to do two things I love. Those are going to new places and to be able to share my experience with everyone else.
Event Chaser is a blogging site sponsored by RazorGator.com where bloggers are given free or discounted tickets for different events and blog about the venues and nearby places to check out. Razor Gator is an online ticketing agency similar to Ticketmaster or LiveNation but only better. Not only do they have tickets for concerts and sporting events, they even have tickets to special event such as the upcoming Bamboozle Left and Theater Tickets.
When you get the chance, go click on the orange banner on the side of this blog. It will link you over to EventChaser.com where you can check the site out for yourself. Also, be sure to check out RazorGator.com as well the next time you want to purchase some tickets for the next sporting event, concert, or theater performance. For my first post on their site, I'll hopefully be going to the Angels vs Padres game this Saturday on the 4th. I'm stoked to work further with Event Chaser. See you around!

Side Note- Thanks for checking out my friend Anna's blog. I know most of you have sent me e-mails or already started going over there and leaving comments. So keep on giving her support at From London With Love. Thanks everyone.
