Finally out the door from work and now off to find the winning Powerball tickets for this Saturday night’s drawing. Who couldn’t use an extra $475 million dollars?

From Billings To Hollywood To Cannes Film Festival

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:59:37 +0000

When I first arrived in Billings last November, the town was “a buzz” about a movie being filmed in town. It’s always exciting when the magic of Hollywood comes to your town. The movie they were filming was called Nebraska, it’s the story of a father and son on a quest from Montana to Nebraska [...]

Facebook Changes You Need To Know About

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 12:26:06 +0000

I was doing some reading over the weekend and discovered a few new changes in the way Facebook is operating these days…It’s not a secret that Facebook has failed to monetize itself. They are constantly working on ways to force businesses to pay to get their messages seen by fans. The new wrinkle they’ve thrown [...]

It Wasn't Just Derby With the Dames Last Night

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:35:17 +0000

My wife and I attended the Billings Roller Derby Dames bout last night. The Derby Dames were hosting the Casper Ghosts in their second bout of the season.

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:17:27 +0000

Since we are celebrating our 20th anniversary, the memories are fast and furious around the K-Bear studios. Concerts, Promotions, remotes old talent, clients… I heard about all of it.

I Now Know I Live In Montana

Greg Tillotson — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:51:58 +0000

Driving down 24th street Saturday morning and the fact that I am living in Montana hit me right between the eyes. Or should I say horns…I think the sign says it all….wonder if they come in “hoof” long sizes? I now know there is a season for everything….

The Worse the Movie, the Better the Food?

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:52:22 +0000

I saw a movie over the weekend that was a huge disappointment. From all the trailers and ads, I thought the movie ‘Admissions’ starring Tina Fey, Paul Rudd and Lilly Tomlin would be an entertaining way to spend two hours of my life. There’s two hours I just flushed. But I did make a discovery [...]

Is There Anything Out There That Will Embarass You?

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:13:43 +0000

I’m watching the NBA basketball game with the Portland Trailblazers last night, when I noticed the guy directly behind the two announcers. He’s not too hard to notice. He’s the guy who’s diggin for gold in his nose. Note his style, the corkscrew. After he’s done he checks what he’s mined, rubs the two fingers [...]

It was another Saturday night in Billings, Montana. What’s on the entertainment agenda? A movie, some dinner, live music, live theater? One thing I love about the Magic City is that there is always something to do. Night or day….and now I have to add roller derby into the options. We spent Saturday night at [...]
