365 Adventures in 2011: Day 342 – Art and Design
I returned to the Orange County Regional History Center for a special presentation by the Universal Orlando Art & Design team about how they take their ideas from concept to completion. It’s related to the exhibit that opened a couple weeks ago featuring their artwork from the last 10 years or so. It was an interesting and entertaining panel discussion followed by a Q&A session. (And you can watch the whole thing online, as I recorded it.)
365 Adventures in 2011: Day 264 – Lady Luck
My second night spent at Halloween Horror Nights for 2011 was for opening night and at the media party, this year’s icon Lady Luck was available for photo ops. And I escaped with my life, barely.
365 Adventures in 2011: Day 262 – Halloween Horror Nights is here!
It’s finally here. My favorite event of the year, Halloween Horror Nights, had its preview night tonight and I was “RIP” toured around, seeing all the houses and scare zones! The houses are spectacularly detailed this year, on a grand scale. I look forward to seeing them all again on Friday night for the event’s grand opening. And I must thank Universal Orlando for inviting me to attend tonight’s preview. It’s only the beginning of weeks of ghoulish fun!
365 Adventures in 2011: Day 194 – Jack is Back
I hung the most recent addition to my ever-growing collection of stuff I don’t really need. This time it’s a poster board featuring Jack the Clown, Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface from Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando a couple years ago. Michelle didn’t want to look at it, so it’s hanging on the back of my office door, which I close while I’m recording each week’s podcast – so at least I’ll see it then.
365 Adventures in 2011: Day 96 – Back to The Ellen DeGeneres Show
A few days ago, my picture of the day was of me in the audience at a taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show at Universal Orlando. Today, that episode aired on TV and I spotted myself in the audience several times. The most amusing moment (as I figured it would be) came when I was hit by a large water cannon, with my reaction clearly seen. I’m wearing sunglasses, sitting behind the guy in the yellow shirt (who is mostly blocking me) in the picture from the show below. Michelle is to my left and she also got wet. I’ve also included a second photo of me sort-of dancing along while Ellen danced her way through the crowd. Michelle wore pink to stand out in the crowd and she certainly did stand out. I’m next to her wearing blue.
