New Music Review - Jackson Cage

July 14, 2008

I purchased and downloaded some new music last evening off of Amazon by a band called Jackson Cage. A Belfast, Ireland-based 6 piece folk/rock group that musical sound is influenced by 60’s and 70’s rock groups such as The Band, Neil Young and many others including some contemporary alt. country bands. There is a hint of bluegrass as well.

The MP3 download costs $5.99 for 10 awesome tracks. Here is a link to the Amazon download page.

Trade Show Displays from Camelback Displays

July 5, 2008

My company has been searching for trade show booths for a few months so we can be ready to attend some upcoming shows this fall. In my search I came across a company called Camelback Displays.

Camelback Displays has a huge selection of trade show booths, table skirts, banner stands, pipe and drape and much more. The banner stands come in a variety of options such as retractable, motorized and specialty stands. The pipe and drapes come in four different styles to choose from as well.

Just in case you are looking for trade show booth materials, give Camelback Displays a look. And remember, setting up a trade-show display can be a difficult task and an expensive one if you are not well-prepared. Camelback will be there to help support you with all of your needs from design to delivery!

Looking for a new mailbox?

June 2, 2008

If you are like us and in need of a new mailbox check out the selection over on Mailboxixchange.com . They have a huge catalog of high quality residential mailboxes . Pretty much anything you can think of in terms of style, color, etc.

As I said above, we are considering replacing our old, beat up, wooden mailbox with one with a little more style. One of the mailboxes we particularly liked was this one, a white Gaines Original Keystone box . I love the look of the mailbox and since it’s a mandatory law in our county to display our address, that is easily readable in the event of an emergency–having the address numbers on the Gaines keysone box is a good solution for us! We therefore do not have to purchase an address plaque.

Mailboxixchange also has an affiliate program as well. Participants are paid $20.00 for signing up. Learn more about the affiliate program or check out the catalog of mailboxes and other products

Making Your Travel Plans Easy to Book

May 19, 2008

I came across this travel site (www.easytobook.com) a few months ago and bookmarked it in my “travel folder” for when I needed to search for a hotel.  Well just this past week I was looking for a hotel in New York City for later this summer when my wife and I plan to visit and catch a few Broadway shows and enjoy the NYC life!

I was able to search by ranking of hotels, such as 4-star and 5-star hotels. I was also able to narrow my search to just Time Square, as we like to stay close to the action and lights!

Also during my search of hotels I liked how Easy To Book has information regarding Points of Interest and other information about New York City, or any city you want to search for a hotel location.

Finally I made reservations at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square for late this summer to spend out sixth wedding anniversary. We had gotten engaged in NYC, Central Park to be exact. So it will be nice to return to the city after all these years.

Oh, and I’ll be sure to check for hotels when my wife and I plan our London trip for 2009-2010. I already see a good listing of hotels in London that we’ll want to get more information on.
