Hampton Hotels Chain-of-Friends Sweepstakes

Posted by: Ryan Deal on August 27th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.Visit my sponsor: Chain-of-Friends Grand Prize

Let me ask you something, if you had an entire hotel to your disposal for an entire weekend, how big of a party would you throw? Well that’s exactly what the good folks at Hampton are looking to give you. One lucky Grand Prize winner will get 2 nights stay for themselves and 99 lucky friends. On top of that, they’re giving the winner an additional $5,000 to cover taxes all in their Chain-of-Friends sweepstakes.

Shoot, I don’t even know if I could throw that big of a party. I think I’d have to have my Grandma invite her Bingo circle. Maybe my Mom can bring her Cribbage club too. Then myself and my few friends will have some ladies to party with.

I’m only teasing, but lets think about this. You’ve got an entire hotel and 99 of your closet buds. What would you do? I know for me, the first thing would be a massive poker tournament. After a huge pizza party, complimented with loads of Mountain Dew, Bawls, and Ben & Jerry’s, we’d have an all-out, hotel-wide Hide and Go Seek game (“Olly olly oxen free!”). That’s just the first night!

The following day would start with a pool party and BBQ. There would be plenty of Marco Polo and Chicken matches for sure. Of course you’d have to wait 45 minutes after diving into the Buffalo Wings, pulled pork sandwiches, ribs and burgers before diving into the pool. With Nanna and Mom around you know you have to heed the age old advice they always told you.

My head starts reeling when I think of all the other possibilities. I mean, we’ve still got another whole day to fill. I’d probably get a bunch of lazer tag equipment and throw the biggest baddest game of Capture the Flag ever. Maybe a few sack races, egg toss tournaments and kickball games too.

All I know is that would be the best weekend of my life…ever…and I’m including the weekend in my future after my wedding, after my first child is born and even the weekend after the White Sox finally win the World Series. So what would you do with the opportunity? I want to hear it.

You can enter daily for the chance to:
a) Win a daily prize of a free weekend stay at any Hampton,
b) Win the grand prize of the chance to book entire Hampton hotel for one weekend. The grand prize winner will receive 200 “Be My Guest” certificates for 100 of their friends to stay at a Hampton for free for one weekend. The winner will also receive $5000 to help pay the tax for the weekend

The great thing about this sweepstakes is that it is open to everyone, not just those that are Hilton Honors members or those that have previously stayed at a Hampton. So what are you waiting for? Head over to the sweepstakes page and get your name in the basket…and then do it again tomorrow…and the day after…and the day after…

Music Piracy Before Computers

Posted by: Scotty Trigg on August 27th, 2010

Long before The Pirate Bay, Limewire, BitTorrent or Napster, even before cassettes, this was the process used for pirating your favorite tunes. Oh you Twitter Teens have it so easy now. A click, a minute or two, and you’ve got the whole Lady GaGa album on your iPod.

You didn’t have to make a wooden frame for the LP, make a latex mold, then pour the vinyl and wait for it to set. This process was delicate and time consuming. Granted you could then do some scratching on the “Ones and Twos” with the Beatles “White Album”…plus there really is no substitute to the unique fidelity of a good record.

Cee-Lo Green Makes Movies Better

Posted by: Scotty Trigg on August 26th, 2010

If you haven’t heard Cee-Lo Green’s new song F@!* You! then you must be living in a cave. What am I saying…most of us probably live in the cave that is our Mother’s basement. None-the-less, it’s a great song. Not only is it a great song on its own, it has the ability to take a few great moments in cinematic history to even greater heights. Watch below as your favorite scenes in Shawshank Redemption and Dirty Dancing are taken to new heights with this musical masterpiece.

Two centuries have dramatically changed the landscape that is New York City. It has come quite a long ways over the course of 200 years. This looks to be a fairly accurate depiction of the past, present and unfortunate future of this wonderful city.

Take As Much As You Need

Posted by: Oral Adams on August 25th, 2010

The World needs a little bit more of this right about now. I can’t pull a “Love” tab from my computer but this still brightens my day. I hope this inspires a few of you out there to spread the message and maybe post similar notices yourself. Sure, the pessimistic out there will tell you a little piece of paper isn’t going to do any good, but I beg to differ. I think it can make a change in someone’s mood that will hopefully have a ripple effect, at least for the day.

…speaking of taking what you need, check out this.

Ummm….Okay….

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Posted by: Oral Adams on August 24th, 2010

Childhood memories last a lifetime and the excitement of waking up in the morning and catching your favorite Saturday morning cartoon with a bowl of cereal is definitely one many can relate to. Case studies show that television and certain educational programming contribute greatly to the growth of children and this graphic from Medical Assistant reminds us of just how fun learning is.
