Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (+ Digital Copy) List Price: $14.94 Sale Price: $10.25 |

Sweet baby Jesus, we thank you for blessing Will Ferrell and Adam McKay with the talent to create a NASCAR comedy as hilarious as Talladega Nights. The so-called "Ballad of Ricky Bobby" is hardly flawless in fact it's not always firing on all cylinders but with comedy star Ferrell and director McKay still hot from the success of their previous comedy hit Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, most of this 108-minute spoof of oval-track racing is so knee-slappin' funny that you can't help but surrender to the stupidity. |

Looking to start a new book series?
I am in need of a good book, but I would like it to be one of a series, not just one book (that way i am not searching constantly for books)
Do you know of any romance series similar to Nicholas Sparks
or
any detective series similar to Elvis Cole/Joe Pike written by Robert Crais?
what are your opinions of James Patterson?
Catherine Coulter- FBI series
Laura Griffin- One Last Breath, One Wrong Step, Thread of Fear, Whisper of Warning, Untraceable
James Patterson- Alex Cross series
(he is a great writer, highly recommend)
Sue Grafton- Alphabet series
Janet Evanovich- Stephanie Plum series, female bounty hunter, hilarious
Mary Higgins Clark novels
Carlene Thompson novels- love this writer, suspenseful murder mysteries
Romance authors I recommend:
Nora Roberts (romance and suspense in one)
Fern Michaels
Luanne Rice
Emily Giffin
Vicki Thompson- esp her Nerd series, hilarious and steamy (chic lit)
Carly Philips (chick lit)
Rachel Gibson (chic lit)
Lori Foster (chic lit)
Hope this helps!
Piano Bars In NYC - The Rum Bar And Karen Brown
Last Saturday night a friend of ours had some visitors from out of town, and asked us to meet with them at The Rum Bar for a 'fun night." And a fun night it was!
The Rum Bar is located in the lobby of the Edison Hotel, right off Broadway, on 47th Street. Although I'm not familiar with the hotel facilities -and I understand the place has many that they are proud of- I am much acquainted with the Rum Bar, for over the years I've spent quite a few nights there.
For those of you who might be wondering why I'm writing this piece, let me set your mind at ease: I'm in no way connected, get paid, or receive gifts from the either the hotel or the bar. To inform my readers of what a New York City fine time is, is my motivation.
Two sections are immediately discernible as you walk into the joint; the largest piece of real estate belonging to the long bar -the altar- where the serious worshippers of the god Bacchus not only offer their libations, but also they make them disappear faster than I can change channels with a remote. A piano/organ occupies the smaller remainder of the space.
I'll talk about this: the piano bar section.
Karen Brown, the resident musician and gifted pianist-organist, plays and sings just about any song anybody can think of and request. Her repertoire is just fabulous. And if she doesn't know a song by heart, she will dig up her indexed music books and in no time she'll produce the sheets. Since I don't sing, I pretty much observe and enjoy watching Karen accommodate requests and those who wish to sing.
Besides having a prodigious musical memory, Karen also seems to be endowed with name recall and 'face recognition' virtues, for she never gets a name wrong.
For a while she sings the crowd's favorites, which range from Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Rogers and Hammerstein to Broadway Show songs, and on to more contemporary songs made famous by Sinatra, Streisand, Tony Bennett, Vic Damone, Patsy Klein, Elvis Presley, etc.
Around 10 PM, the real troopers -including some big name celebrities- from the Broadway shows begin to filter in to regale the audience with some of their own personal favorites.
Last Saturday night I had the pleasure of listening to "Sam the Drummer," who not only sang some oldies, but also told some jokes with such perfect delivery that would put to shame Jerry Seinfeld, or even Jay Leno. And should I mention that Sam is 89 years young? Who cares? The man showed the younger set what laughter and music can do for the soul and the body! Anyway, for anyone to follow him would have been a tough go indeed. But his wife followed him, and she outdid him! She sang some delightful comical songs that were even more hilarious than Sam's jokes.
As I walked around and mingled a little, I met lots of people from Europe: a couple from Wales, a group from London, and another from Norway. And of course there was a contingent of Chicagoans, who were drowning their sorrows away at having lost their bid to Rio de Janeiro for the 2012 Olympics.
For the price of a few beers and drinks (no cover), New Yorkers and visitors can have a grand time. The Rum Bar is a smoke-free facility and safe to boot. No one hassles you and if people get loud and obnoxious, the waiter -Thai, who also sings by the way- will escort them out.
For 14 years the gorgeous Karen Brown has entertained her crowd of faithful followers five nights a week from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The wood-walled bar is just right for this kind of open mike entertainment. Even if you don't sing, soon you'll be joining in and mouthing "Crazy," "Fly Me to the Moon," or "The Girl from Ipanema."
Whether you are an American or a visitor from other lands, and are coming to New York City, and if you ever want to see and hear a woman with perfect pitch-come to The Rum Bar: Karen Brown will welcome you. Just make sure you tell her Marc sent you.
