2/7 Update: I was wrong...it's not the 3D concert movie announcement.  Metallica has announced their own music festival! ORION MUSIC + MORE is two days in New Jersey (?) and features some pretty heavy hitters with Metallica headlining both days.  If this sells some tickets, don't be surprised if this turns into an Ozzfest-style tour.

Mon. Feb. 6:...I anticipate will be...SOME KIND OF MONSTER II: THE NEEDLEPOINT SESSIONS. Actually Metallica teased a couple months back that they wanted to capture the live Metallica experience as it/s never been captured before (although Justin Bieber beat them to it): a 3D Metallica concert movie. But maybe that's not the announcement at all. Maybe they're just going to announce that they're playing my birthday BBQ this year. I asked & they never said no. Could happen...

I didn't hate much about the game yesterday (other than the Giants' woeful under-use of the Kill Brady play) and even thought the Madonna halftime was entertaining (that song is actually growing on me. I feel unwell...). Most of the Super Bowl ads were released in advance of the game, so I wasn't surprised by many (the Eastwood halftime Chevy spot was great!). I was suprised that one of the best ads was only seen in one small market. Here's the Will Ferrell OLD MILWAUKEE beer ad that only aired in Podunk, NE

I stopped by the Oregon Convention Center this morning to do a bit with Drew Carney about the Portland Seafood and Wine Fest Shuck 'n Swallow contest I'm hosting tomorrow. I wouldn't go so far as to say hilarity ensues, but it was kind of fun. Check out out...

A super-bad ass commercial with a sickeningly sweet (I mean sweet as in "touching", not sweet as in "Dude, what does my tattoo say?") ending. Awwwww...
I love the rodeo rhinoceros. I want to do that someday.

We're getting a look at a good number of the multi-million dollar ads produced for the Super Bowl on Sunday and, because the Giants will probably be ahead by 30 at the half, I hope we don't get too many more spoilers. I LOVE the twist at the end of this one. Pretty sure you will do. The force is strong in you...I feel it
