Birthday Wishes, The Warriors, The Film Festival and other news…

Birthdays Wishes

A special AllegedlySpeaking.com Birthday Wish to mom and Louie who celebrated their birthdays the first half of this month.

The Warriors arrived in Oahu last Monday, en route to their summer training facility located at BYU Hawaii in the North Shore. Much like our family, they have been traveling there annually for summer training camp.

Carol and Evan taking a break at Turtle Bay.

They are staying at the Turtle Bay Resort and will be away from all the distractions of Honolulu. I sent an email to Warriors Radio Analyst, Tim Roye, telling him to make sure he stops by Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck for the Scampi.

The season is just around the corner. If you want to get a glimpse of this years team, check out their scrimmage live Tuesday night vs the Lakers at 9pm on FOX Bay Area, The Official Warriors Television Network.

The “NBA on FSN” theme song is one of THE best in sports today…listen for yourself.

Warriors television commentator, Jim Barnett, is Vlogging from Hawaii and sends this report back for us. Watch as he talks about what’s going on behind the scenes in the North Shore of Hawaii.

I’ll be posting his reports here as he files them. And in case you missed the first 2 editions, here they are for your viewing pleasure. Jim’s Vlog, PART-1, and PART-2.

The Mark Ruffalo Film Festival

I just received two more films in the mail for consideration into the Mark Ruffalo Film Festival. To date I have reviewed about 7 or 8 Ruffalo films, with several more to go. I will then release a list of recommended titles for everyone’s considersation. You can either have an opinion on what is shown or not. Those who want a say can rate the list of films in order from favorite to least favorite. And from that list I will choose the first 2 movies of the festival. Maybe 3, depending on the running length of certain titles.
Need Your Help For The Final Feature

For the finale, I would like to have Mr. Ruffalo or his publicist choose this film. What I need you guys to do is start searching the internet for contact numbers and then forward them to me. I did a basic search and have come up empty so far. Or, if you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone that knows Mark, then let’s try to exploit that angle also.

Once the date of the festival is announced, the schedule of screenings will be released. You can show up and watch them all or just for the ones you want to see. Free popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, Margaritas and Mojitos all day long, followed by light entrees for the final feature.

The following trailer is of a film that is definately making the list of recommendations:

Stanford Upsets USC!

As we here at AllegedlySpeaking.com celebrate all that is the Bay Area, then we must mention the stunning upset that Stanford delivered to #2 ranked and arguably the number one team in the nation, USC. Stanford, a 41 point underdog, won the game with a 4th down and goal to go, 4th quarter, touchdown pass from Tavita Pritchard at the USC 10 to Mark Bradford in the back left corner of the endzone with only 49 seconds left in the game. Standford then sealed the victory with a Bo McNally interception in the final seconds of the game. Congrats to the Cardinal..and Cal for that matter who stand to benefit the most.
Final score, Stanford 24 - USC 23.

COMING SOON:

Coming to San Jose’s HP Pavilion December 26 through the 30th. Start checking your calendars…I’m thinking tickets are going fast. We should lock down the dates soon. Since guys don’t make decisions here it will be up to the ladies on whether or not this happens for us.

Caroline and Paul 2008

No word as yet…stay tuned. Announcement coming soon.

JEOPtrivia IV

Since the laptop I used for last year’s game died back in January and the information inside the hard drive was irretrievable, we will be using new software this year. Currently, I am testing different programs, but the front-runner is a system that is compatible with the buzzers that we introduced last year. This way everybody can see who buzzed in first, second and thrid. Most game related information will remain top secret, unless the Game Mistress wants to issue a press release regarding new rules or gaming equipment. All I’ll say is look for us to bring back some of the challenges from the 2005 edition of JEOPtrivia. Checkout the 2005 re-cap below from the 2006 opening and you’ll see what I mean…
