In a few minutes, I’m going to run down the the Starbucks in my building or to the cafe across the street to get a good seat on the filming of “When in Rome”.
I’ve run into the filming of a few things near my apartment- The Fringe, Kings. “When in Rome” is definitely the biggest of the filmings. This is a Disney film staring Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Danny DeVito, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, and a few others.
If I get any good pictures, I’ll post them up here later!
None of the stars were at the shoot because it was an “action” sequence. I did, however, see all their stunt doubles.
Of course with the economy as it is right now, most companies are struggling. Starbucks is defininitely one of them. In attempts to draw more customers, they’re implementing a “menu deal”.
For $3.95, you will be able to order a latte with coffee cake or a drip coffee with a hot sandwich starting on March 3rd. CEO, Howard Schultz, said he never would make the move to a “value menu” structure, but such a move is necessary right now.
Now, I’m really hoping these prices will also apply for NYC Starbucks. The latte I like to get is $4.90 after tax. With prices like that, I’d at least like to get a small snack with it when I do “splurge” for a Starbucks latte. Also if the overall price is cheaper, I could splurge more often; but I don’t believe those prices will make it to the city.
This week there are some fun winter events that I’m looking forward to.
First, we have Red Bull’s SnowScrapers. 24 snowboarders competing for $100,000 in East River Park on Thursday at 6pm, with snowboarding starting around 6:30pm. It will air on NBC Sunday at 5PM
I’ve been to a one of their extreme sporting events before, and it’s definitely a good time.
Winter Jam 2009 is also happening at Hudson River Park on Saturday. I went last year when it was in Central Park. I’ve read that this year in addition to sledding/tubing, there will be snowboarding and icewall climbing.
This is by far my favorite failblog. It makes me laugh everytime I see it.
What’s your favorite failblog?
This has been the song that has been on repeat on my iPod lately. It’s just so happy sounding, I can’t help but smile when I listen to it on my way to work. Also, it creates a great Genius playlist. I really love that function in my iPod!
For some odd reason, I don’t like listening to streaming music. I like having a digital copy of all my music- call me “old school”. Ha! The Genius function is the Pandora for my huge music collection.
The Killers- Human
Well, I made a blog… I’m still working on the details.
