Great Big Sea’s Bethel Woods Center of the Arts show moved to May 7th
Great Big Sea has moved some of their shows in April, including their concert at Bethel Woods Center of the Arts in Bethel,NY. That show was originally April 24th but that one and a few others have moved for some reason. Does Alan Doyle have some Robin Hood business to take care of? Maybe that’s when the premiere is? If you can’t go, you can get a refund for the tickets. Guess I’m seeing them on May 7th now!

Avatar DVD and Blu-Ray coming out April 22nd 2010
20th Century Fox announced this morning that Avatar is coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray April 22nd. I think it’s safe to say that this will sell a few copies here and there. I can’t wait to watch this again, too bad 3D TVs aren’t really consumer-ready yet to watch this on but I’m sure there will be plenty of different versions of this movie out on video for years to come. I think this will be awesome to watch regardless of 3D or not. Can’t wait!
