Thanks for an amazing discussion on Hitchcock's #Frenzy, at the @AcademyMuseum, @RealGDT ! Never had seen it before and it was quite amazing!
Back at the @academymuseum for a screening of Hitchcock's Frenzy with a chat with Guillermo del Toro! Never seen this so looking forward to it!
So my friend who was supposed to have a day-long layover in LA had his flight canceled so I have an extra ticket. Paid $75 and refunded my friend already so if anyone wants it shoot me a decent offer and I can transfer. Thanks.
One of maybe two dozen people here for this noon screening of #mastersoftheuniverse at the Chinese. I remain skeptical but at least it only cost $5. Thanks @tmobile !
#DungeonCrawlerCarl Book 5 complete! Shit, that Epilogue hit HARD! Cant wait to start Book 6 - The Eye of the Bedlam Bride - tomorrow! Thank you for this tremendous series @mattdinniman !
Two years ago today I took the subway into Hollywood to buy baseball cards and stumbled across Chris Hemsworth's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Three years ago today I was shown around Pittsburgh by my friend Chrissy before flying to Atlanta towards the end of my #nineparks16days trip. Six years
This is honestly one of the increasingly fewer reasons I still keep Facebook. Im not necessarily a nostalgic person but its still wild to see how vastly different the same day (May 23) can be, year-to-year. One year ago today I arrived in Boston to kick off my #SixNewStatesNineDays trip.
Greetings from 59 Reserve at the "summer home." Fourth game of the young season, second at home, first since completing the ballpark journey in Toronto earlier this month. Let's get that series dub, #Dodgers!
I don't always drink beer before noon on a Sunday, but when I do, its a Golden Road Dodger Blonde at @thedouglas.la before a #Dodgers day game! Its a great day for a series win against the small bears!
One of the big perks of my schedule is having Sundays off. My work week started on Sunday at my last job, so im going to take advantage of seeing as many 1:10 day games as I can, starting this Sunday against the Cubs. First game at the "summer home" after completing my ballpark journey in Toronto
#DungeonCrawlerCarl Book 4 complete! Holy fuck, what an ending!!!!! The Epilogue was something I was always curious about! Starting Book 5 tomorrow! Doubt I will be fully caught up before Book 8 drops but that's ok. This series is such a blast!
final space on my PopChart (ignore the tiny hole from an errant dart) and another shot glass from the Hockey HOF for the collection (Current count: 115). Planning on writing a blog post this weekend about my amazing trip, and ill include all the numbers (Miles traveled, dollars spent etc) from not
The case is finally complete... but I kinda want to get a different ball. The City Connect ball looked really cool when I got it but it bleeds into the case too much. Might just order another one online. Also added the final MLB pin and Hockey HOF pin (Current count: 71). Also scratched off the
One last beer at l'aeroport. Toronto, you're fucking amazing. I was here for about 2 days 15 years ago for my old job, visiting the set of the Total Recall reboot at Pinewood. I barely saw the city. I only had two days and two nights this time and loved every second. Amazing vibes everywhere.
Poutine, check. Tim Horton's, check. Buying maple syrup in a Maple Leaf bottle, check. Canada trifecta is complete! Also met a lovely Dodgers fan and fellow solo traveler @vendouris! Great chatting with you Gabriela! Now heading back to the hotel to grab my backpack and head to the airport!
Hockey Hall of Fame was super cool! So much great history plus some interactive stuff that was cool but I didn't want to stand in a long line haha. There was one where they gave you a glove, blocker and goalie stick and they had five slots out of a wall where they fired rubber pucks at you haha. The
Who knows! Honestly my only knock against the park is there are no cupholders. Still, this is a top 10 park for sure! Anyway, should be a good game! Shohei on the bump for the #Dodgers and Dyan Cease opposing him, and he has been dealing lately! Also, the CN Tower is v tall. Stay tuned for whatever!
ballpark, and a First time seeing shuffleboard tables. They also have a very cool and expansive Corona Rooftop Patio with a DJ and cool lounge areas and shit. Plus im noticing each row this high up has a railing one can lean on... or perhaps to prevent drunkards from spilling into the next row.
Greetings from Section 515 of Rogers Centre! I should have paid closer attention to the row when I bought this.... Row 27 is way up there but whatevs, it was only 23 bucks with fees! Got to walk around a bit more and im even more impressed. A few more firsts for me. First time seeing an arcade in a
Good morning, Toronto! Realized I forgot to take pics of my final souvenir baseball and pin yesterday so here they be. Last night was a blast! I ended up at Loose Moose/Antler Room post game and immediately remembered you can drink at 19 in Canada. I sat next to two kids who were raving about my
Greetings from Section 537 of Rogers Centre. Im enjoying a Mill Street Brewery Original Organic Lager and im about to watch my #Dodgers take on the Blue Jays. My MLB ballpark chase is finally complete! I reached out to the @bluejays a few months ago and told them I was completing my ballpark journey
Greetings from my abode for the next two nights in Toronto: Chelsea Hotel. Charging uo the phone for a bit and getting ready before heading to my final MLB ballpark: Rogers Centre! Also got a ticket for tomorrow's game for 23 bucks! Lunacy! The Toronto people have been very nice so far despite me
Good morning, Los Angeles! One more souvenir baseball to put in that case behind me, and ill get it today in Toronto! En route to l'aeroport in a surprisingly cheap-ish Lyft. Stay tuned for whatever!
Never been to many Monday games, but damn it was a packed house last night! Energy was immaculate. Weather was perfect. Fans were loud as hell even though we lost. And i even got to chop it up with @stevencmiller last night! This is gonna be an epic season! Let's go #Dodgers
Greetings from Section 164 of the Sunmer Home! A little worried about Roki starting given his shaky spring, but glad to be back regardless! 4-0 incoming! Also, where you at @stevencmiller ?! #Dodgers
Finally! Its finally time to see #ProjectHailMary!!! I absolutely adored the book and I've heard great things from my critic friends who have seen it!
I have a memory from a freshmen Mass Communications textbook in 1995 that predicted print newspapers will be extinct in 10-15 years. After 12 years in and out of school I got my first journalist job at a website in 2007. 18 years later, after a career exclusively in the digital journalism landscape,
Holy shit this was so goddamn good! Book 3 of 7 in @mattdinniman #DungeonCrawlerCarl series! Onto Book 4!
