I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases have been flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post will include blurbs on Around the World for Free, Alphas, Design Star, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Killer Shots, The Car Show, Falling Skies, The Office, Motley Crüe, Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon, Reggae Summerfest, and Rocco DiSpirito.
- After taking the million dollar prize on Survivor (as well as a hefty consolation prize as runner up on another occasion) you would think Survivor’s Parvati Shallow would not need to borrow money any time soon. But she will be embarking on a trip around the world for free on the aptly titled web show Around the World for Free. Starting today at 2:00 PST Parvati will take off on a hundred day adventure with nothing but a backpack and a smart phone and tablet (and of course a camera crew). Since she has the smart phone, you can follow her in real time over at Twitter or CBS.com. Who know, she may be stopping in your hometown and may need a place to stay.
