Know Your Neighborhood

OTH Season Six is ovah (that would be over for outside of Boston) but Season Seven will be in production in July and Austin no longer just a extended guest star but a season regular, so it's time for him to get know a little more about his neighborhood, ok well OMG to, Austin's lived in Wilmington before when he was on Surface.

And while famous people might come to work in Wilmington, Wilmington has one of their own who became one of the most famous people in the world.

Sneakers. Clothes. Underwear spokesman. Minor league baseball player. McDonalds Pitchman. Gold medalist. Worked with Bugs Bunny. One of the biggest reasons Nike is still in business. Everyone wants to be like ... Mike. Even Beckham when his came to play in the US, wanted to be 23.

Michael Jordan.

Born in Brooklyn NY but raised in Wilmington NC Michael Jordan is the greatest player in the history of basketball. Even this Celtic fan admits it, but would Jake? Who might say his heart has to say Magic or Kareem of the Lakers, but you know his head is saying Jordan. Even Magic is looking at him in amazement.

Sure he's from Wilmington, but that doesn't mean he has an OTH connection. But his Airness. He is part-owner and Managing Member of Basketball Operations of the Charlotte Bobcats. (Nathan's team)

You wonder if Austin could score some tickets. You know he could say he played basketball. Hey it got him the part on Glory Road. ; )



Now the results of our movie club poll:

TDAT came in first. And Hopeful TB's suggestion (awesome one) it would be interesting to compare it to Star Trek, as well as have discussion about the movie in general.

Movie Club will be Friday night (5:00pm EST) - Saturday - June 12-13th.

And because summer means extra special treats - a second movie club on June 19-20th for a LGBT movie. The number one pick for the LGBT movie was Big Eden.

Hope they you can join OMG for one or both of June's movie clubs.

And don't forget JFC Discussion Episode 5: His Visit - Day 4, this Friday night and Saturday.


And on this day, whatever our feelings or politics,
we stop and recognize those who have served and sacrificed.
Thank you.

Happy Memorial Day!
