Puppets Grinding On Each Other To 'Hot In Herre' = Awesome Video

Harry Potter Pt 2 IMAX 3D giveaway today

Just a note, we'll be giving away Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II tickets today, in the latter half of the show, courtesy of Celebration Cinemas. Did I mention they are in IMAX 3d? I JUST saw this on Tuesday in IMAX 3D, and totally felt like it was worth the price.

But why pay when you don't have to?

What is Supervillain.me?

It’s a place on the internet. A place for nerds. It's a friend to hhour.org.

You see, in the modern world there is simply too much going on to be a nerd.  Unless you are a professional blogger or podcaster who makes their living talking about and writing about your obsession, it’s practically impossible to stay up to date with every video game, ever comic book, every movie, every bit of Harry Potter minutia, every every.

We are not professionals.  We are nerds.  Just some fellas who got together to talk about stuff we like.  
The idea arose from Kevin Smith starting a podcast network and giving his friends a podcast.  It occurred to us, if we did that we would have internet content to read and listen to.  On top of that, I get my friends’ opinions on the things they and I like.
That’s the key - it’s not a professional opinion, it’s not a celebrity opinion, it’s not someone who lives 1000 miles’ away’s opinion.  It’s my friend’s opinion.  And I can go and talk to him and chew him out when he disagrees with me.
The idea of SV.me is that.  Fun.  Talking.  Friends.

And to make it fun, here and there we get some imaginary friends involved.
I said it was for nerds didn’t I?

Auto Enduro Was Cool. [Like A Destruction Derby]

Oh man! Last night I went to the Eaton County 4-H Fair and hit up the Grandstand to check out the Auto Enduro. It was AWESOME!

Did you go see this thing ever? The cars race around a dirt track in a 5-or-so lap race and are TOTALLY allowed to run into each other way a lot. AND one of these cars had a Spongebob on it. A SPONGEBOB.

AND - in the middle of the thing, there was a burnout competition. Way awesome!

Local Boy Hero Begins Bicycle Trip To California Via Route 66 For Charity

Alan Murphy, Michigan State alumni from hometown Sagainaw, MI, has begun a bike trip across the country via what he deems on his accompanying blog (link here) as 'The Mother Road' of Route 66.

Murphy, member of the band Molly's Brother and professional cool guy with a heart of gold, is planning to complete this trip in 24 riding days, and is accepting donations for charity. According to the event Facebook page, Murphy hopes to "raise money for the Covenant HealthCare Foundation to help their breast cancer center. My mother is a five year survivor of breast cancer and credits an early diagnosis and treatment to her recovery."

This monster trip will cover 10 states and over 2600 miles in less than a month. Murphy has already made an appearance in Lansing, MI for a quick bite to eat at local restaurant Crunchy's, and continues on his way to Kalamazoo today.

The Happy Hour blog wishes Alan the best in his trip, and will keep us all updated as his journey continues.
