Happy Memorial Day! BLMC Swag Bag Weekend Give Away

Ah Memorial day weekend.  A nice three day weekend here in the states where we honor those who have served and sacrificed so much for our country and the world. It is also the un-official start of the summer season and opening of area pools. To help kick start the summer season and celebrate memorial day weekend, I am giving away my swag bag from the Broadway Lighting Master Classes from earlier in the week.  I want to pass along the swag bag to a lucky someone that was not able to attend the classes.

It’s pretty easy to enter to win the swag bag, leave a comment on this post with your full name, email address, (which is not public) and a note if you like.  First thing Tuesday morning after the long weekend, I will randomly select a winner from the comments and announce it Tuesday.  The give away will be open to only US residence, (sorry my international friends!) and last from now till midnight on Monday, May 31st.

Everyone have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!

Happy 8th Birthday iPod – Time to Celebrate!

As 1pm rolls around here on the Eastern Time Zone, we want to Wish the iPod a very Happy 8th Birthday. It was 8 years ago today, October 23, 2001 at 1pm est that the original iPod was announced to the world.

Oh how time has gone by so quickly since you came out.  Back when you were introduced, you offered a WHOOPING 5 or 10 gig hard drive that could hold 1,000 songs and last up to 10 hours of music play back!

And now, you have grown up to be our little companion that not only plays songs, but let’s us receive calls, check email, play games and yes, run a lighting system!  So to help celebrate the iPod’s 8th birthday, we are running a little give away thanks to Zinman Software.

All you have to do is post a comment on this post with your name, email address (which will not be published) and lets us know which app you might like.  We are limiting everyone to one app for the moment, sorry!  We only have 8 copies of each of the following to give out.  Once they are taken, they are gone.

• TCP/IP Remote
• iSwitch
• PocketLD
• GelCal

HAPPY BIRTHDAY iPod!
