Hump Day & Chill

Michael Shinafelt

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner, so the best way to Hump Day & Chill during these sizzling hot times is with a margarita! 

Margaritas IMHO are THE drink of the warmer months. 

Nothing even comes close, there I said it!

Here I am enjoying said libation at Home State on Hollywood Blvd. 

They open at 7 am and I love being there on a sunny morning sitting on the patio with no one else around imbibing in my favorite adult beverage.

Now it's time to Hump Day & Chill, that's correct Minions it's Margarita Time!

Can't touch this...

Sour Party

Anchor Bay Entertainment is proud to announce the June 10 release of Sour Party on Blu-ray and DVD. Directors/writers/producers Amanda Drexton and Michael A. Drexton bring us the story of two thirty-something women who are drifting through life until a family event forces them to face their shortcomings and grow up.  

Gwen (Samantha Westervelt) and James (Amanda Drexton) have done their best to avoid getting real jobs or being accountable adults. After their latest failed attempt at money-making, Gwen gets a call from her pregnant sister about her upcoming baby shower. Determined to show her family that she’s not a failure, Gwen decides to buy a gift listed on the online baby registry. This turns out to be an expensive decision.   

They cycle through ideas, until deciding to drive around Los Angeles looking for their artsy friends who they believe owe them cash. Can they collect anything before the baby shower in the afternoon? Along the way, Gwen and James learn quite a bit about themselves, their lives, and the people they considered “friends.”  

Sour Party includes hilarious performances from Reggie Watts (Comedy Bang! Bang!), Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), and Christopher Rodriguez Marquette (Barry). Sour Party is a buddy comedy about a time when emotionally stunted friends might need to grow up.

27!

Mariska Hargitay

Law & Order: SVU has been my favorite TV Drama since it premiered September 20th 1999. Cut to it making TV history as the longest running drama on network Television ever when it was renewed for season 25. Then is was renewed for a 26th season.

Guess what Minions?! Here comes season 27!

The photo is from the star of SVU, Mariska Hargitay's Instagram page celebrating yet another milestone with the caption:

 "Here’s to season 27!! WHAAA??? #CHEERS🥂 LFG!" 

Cheers indeed! I am so happy that there is at least one more season left of SVU. It's been an important part of most of my adult life. 

Even without new seasons there is always a Law & Order: SVU marathon airing on a station at any given moment. Trust me I've seen most of the episodes at least three times or more!

One can never get enough SVU, can one? I know I can't.

Live long and prosper!

"Wives and Lovers"

Mike Clifford

"Dim all the lights, Pour the wine and start the music, Time to get ready for love" - Wives and Lovers, Jack Jones

Former Teen Idol Mike Clifford of Close To Cathy fame has released  his latest song. He's paying tribute to the late Jack Jones covering his hit "Wives and Lovers." 

Here's some 411:

"Jack Jones was a great popular singer. During his career he was nominated for five Grammys. He won two. One for "Lolipops & Roses" and one for"Wives & Lovers." We lost Jack in 2024, but his music will live forever. As a tribute, Mike has recorded a new version of "Wives & Lovers," with an excellent arrangement by Maurice Gainen. This song was written by musical titans, Burt Bacharach and Hal David."

Also for a more contemporary reference the song plays under the opening credits of The First Wives Club starring Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler & Diane Keaton.
