Awesomeness Abounds

So I know I've told you all about our contest - The MC of The CT. For those who don't know, it's your chance at being the host of the coolest station in Connecticut. You get to be the tour guide on our Seen on the Scene promos as well as some other cool stuff we have coming up in the future (more on that later...). What I haven't told you about yet was how amazingly awesome everyone is who has come down to try out so far. We've held two events since we started our search - a couple weeks back at The Shadow Room in Middletown and last Thursday night at Black Bear Hartford. I always knew there were talented people in CT waiting to be unearthed if you will, waiting for the moment to be given their chance to be a star. What I didn't realize was just how many of you there were! This is going to be a wicked hard decision for our staffers to narrow down the finalists and I think you'll all agree that when it comes time to vote for the winners on our site that you'll have an equally hard time as well. But let's be honest, that's a great thing. It's like the baseball team that has so many good pitchers they don't know who to put on the mound first! Now we just need make sure none of them get tendinitis. For those of you who haven't tried out yet, what are you waiting for? This is a golden opportunity and you'd be silly to miss out. In the next couple days we will be announcing the dates and locales for the final preliminary rounds. Get on this train before it leaves the station. If you aren't one of the 300+ people who've registered yet get over to www.ct.com and do it!

You know the old saying that March either comes in like a lion or a lamb and goes out vice versa. Well when I look at our events calendar this month it's a beast regardless of how many teeth it has. Last week we hit up Thomas Hooker Brewery in Bloomfield for an awesome open house event. The people at Hooker Brewery are wicked friendly and really do a great job creating a warm atmosphere and cool place to spend a Friday night. Check out the photos of the event HERE. Videos will be up on the site and on air later this week.

This coming weekend we will be out at both the Hartford & New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parades. If you are at the parade on Saturday in Hartford be sure to check out the official unveiling of "The Green Machine" - our 24ft. The CT RV!! Trust me, you'll know it when you see it. It's ugliest, yet coolest thing on 4-wheels. Good people of New Haven, fear not. The Green Machine will be hitting your neck of the woods as well!

Finally later this month is one of my favorite events of the year. Munch Madness! Don't know what this is? Munch Madness is an eating relay contest hosted at all five Wood N Tap locations (with a finals event at the beginning of April at the Hartford location). NOTE: This is not one of those see how much food you can eat and make the rest of us vomit looking at you contests. It is a relay where teams of 2-4 people try to eat a few of those little bar bite burgers as quickly as possible. Alright, yeah sometimes a contestant hurls, but it's a rarity I swear! Want more info or think you can take on the challenge? Go HERE.

That's all for now kids. I'll be back soon with more info on upcoming events. Oh and make sure you become a follower of this blog and check back regularly. In the not-to-distant future I'll be holding exclusive contests/trivia here. (Yes, that was a bribe. I have no shame, for God's sake look at how many pictures I wind up in...)

Thanks for reading!

Love,
Chet
