We are a #GlobieFamily

Harlem Globetrotters “You Write the Rules” Tour!


Have you ever attended a Harlem Globetrotters game??

The Harlem Globetrotters love seeing families laugh together during our games, and would love to see your family when we come to a city near you. 
 If you're looking for an awesome event the whole family will enjoy, get your tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters "You Write the Rules" tour.  

Your family's smiles will start before you even get to the game because this year, your family can vote at harlemglobetrotters.com, and decide rules for the game like two balls in play at the same time that could affect the final outcome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My family and I attended the January 29th game in Wichita Falls, Texas.
It was the first time that any of us had ever been to a Globetrotter game.

I was given 4 tickets as part of the Harlem Globetrotters Blogger Affiliate Program and I also won 2 tickets from a local radio station 92.9 KNIN from an instant win online contest the night before the game!:)
Thank goodness because I did not want to have to pick favorites among the kiddos)

The laughs started as soon as we entered the coliseum! 
We were all spaced out...lol
I had great seats that were only 5 rows from the court! The boys had seats that were way up there...Can ya see the grey and blue specs in the pictures??haha 
There are no videos included in this post because no video cameras were allowed in the coliseum.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tour this year is "You Write the Rules". You can vote on your rules for your game. 
The Rules of our game were the 4 point shot and double points. 
The 4th period was the funniest with 2 balls in play.

The pre game show was Globie and musical chairs. 
There was a little dancing and alot of laughing!
I don't want to give to much away because you have to see a show for yourself!
You will be introduced to such characters as Globie, Globie 1/2 and Globie 2!
Globie 2's biggest trick was falling:)
 You will also meet players named T-Time, Too Tall, Tiny and Special K.
The players kept doing tricks and stunts we have not seen at any other basketball game!

Its a Jam Packed show for ANY AND ALL ages!
My kiddos are teenagers and thought the show was funny!
And they dont find anything funny..LOL
from the time Globie hit the court till the last buzzer, the game was full of 
laughs and entertainment!
 If you are looking for a FUN FAMILY TIME this is IT!
My kiddos and I all had a great time!
The game was fun and entertaining. 
I could see the boys laughing 
thru out the game! 
They even broke out into the YMCA in the middle of the game. 
I will laugh for a long time when I remember my oldest son doing the YMCA..lol
After all the fun and excitement~~
The Globetrotters won the game 101 to 99!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Family pictures~ The players stayed after the game to sign autographs.

Jessica took my Harlem Globetrotters Blogger Affiliate Program letter to the game and had all the players autograph it. She got all the autographs but Globie's:(

Emmy Rossum #SentimentalJourney


Sentimental Journey, releasing on January 29th
is a collection of classic covers that takes us through the American Songbook.
On Sentimental Journey, the multi-talented actress and singer brings her stellar voice to songs popularized by some of the most beloved artists of the last century.
Emmy's 12-song 'passion project' is an emotional musical journey, 
with each song representing a month in the year.

Sentimental Journey Track Listing:
  1. “Sentimental Journey” (Les Brown, Ben Homer, Arthur Green)
  2. “The Object Of My Affection” (Pinky Tomlin)
  3. “I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover “(Mort Dixon, Harry M. Woods)
  4. “These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)” (Eric Maschwitz, Jack Strachey)
  5. “(I’ll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time” (Albert Von Tilzer, Neville Fleeson)
  6. “Summer Wind” (Heinz Meier, Johnny Mercer)
  7. “Many Tears Ago” (Winfield Scott)
  8. “All I Do Is Dream Of You” (Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed)
  9. “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out” (Jimmy Cox)
  10. “Autumn Leaves” (Joseph Kosma, Jacques PrĂ©vert)
  11. “Things” (Bobby Darin)
  12. “Pretty Paper” (Willie Nelson)
"Each song needed to either lyrically or emotionally reflect the corresponding month," Emmy explained. "Some songs were obvious fits, like Summer Windfor June, and Pretty Paper for December. Others songs were less literal fits. I chose Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) for September because, to me, the plaintive melody and lyric emotionally reflect the cold weather creeping in and the sense of melancholy we can get in the fall months."

Rossum is also an acclaimed actress who currently stars in the Showtime series Shameless with William H. Macy. She also stars alongside Emma Thompson and Viola Davis in the upcoming feature film Beautiful Creatures, which hits theaters on February 13th.
