Eastern Road Trip
When Craig Ferguson hits the road in October for a string of ten stand up comedy performances, he’ll be covering 1500 miles in nine days.  For fun, we plugged the tour stops into Mapquest and came up with this route.  Your mileage may vary.

Craig will start out in Atlantic City on October 5th at the Tropicana, where he has performed many times. From there, he’ll head up to Radio City Music Hall in New York City and out to Easton, Pennsylvania before doubling back to Ridgefield, Connecticut on October 8th. Then it’s back on the bus to Pennsylvania for stops in Hershey and Greensburg. He’ll move northward into New York for a public show in Ithaca and a pair of private shows in Rochester. Finally, the longest leg of the trip is the last; nearly 400 miles from Rochester to the Foxwoods Resort in Connecticut on October 13th. As always, for complete details about Craig’s trip and how you can see him perform in person, check out our Live Comedy Tour page, which we keep updated with locations, dates, times and links to tickets. You won’t find a more complete and up-to-date list of Craig’s live shows anywhere on the interwebs. It’s true. We checked.

Archery is Hot
As part of its Olympics coverage, NBC and its local television stations are doing a series of articles talking about sports in popular culture. In a story posted Wednesday, they talk about the sudden surge of interest in the sport of archery. They credit the films The Hunger Games and The Avengers, which feature archery prominently, for raising the sport’s profile and say the upcoming film Brave and a new fall CW series called Arrow could help even more.

Parody Album
We’re only a month away from the U.S. nationwide release of the Disney/Pixar movie Brave and all this week, we’ve been showing preview clips and other promotions for the film. This time, the film’s promotion team decides to have a little fun and comes up with a parody commercial for an album. Enjoy!
