The 10 Worst Things About Having a Cold

I just got back from an amazing blogging adventure out in sunny Los Angeles. It was a beautiful 80 degrees the entire time and I may’ve even broken a sweat once or twice. Apologies to my friends trapped under 75 feet of snow in New England right now. Anyways, I quickly came back to NY to snow, wind, ice and a tropical warmth of maybe 25 degrees or so. This winter definitely stinks. Between the …

McFarland USA Review: Race to the Theater Now

#McFarlandUSAEvent

I hate running. Let me just get that out of the way first. My wife’s a fan and has a few 5Ks under her belt, as well as a half marathon. Me?

Big Hero 6 Interview: Directors Don Hall and Chris Williams

#BigHero6Bloggers

The second I saw Director Don Hall’s T-shirt, I knew we were all in for a great time. In a room at the W hotel in Los Angeles, California for an amazing #McFarlandUSAEvent, myself and 24 bloggers sat down to interview the Big Hero 6 Director, along with Director Chris Williams. Don’s adorable black T-shirt with an ASCII-like Baymax on it, set the tone for a great ride. Formerly serving as head of story on 2009’s The Princess …
