Please Read! Updates!

No CHB this week – I have Talent Show Auditions, sorry!

BUT…I will be going to see Clash of the Titans in 3D on Friday! Care to join? Like always, parents, siblings, and friends are welcome to join! See below for details!

Time: 4:30 @ Celebration Cinema South (off M-6)
I have coupons for a free drink, but otherwise that is the only discount I have this time. Please bring enough money and arrange for rides. Let me know if you will be going or not! Look forward to seeing you there!

Also…plan on a POSSIBLE Barnes and Noble adventure on May 4, 2010 – the release of Rick Riordan’s new book, The Red Pyramid!

NOTE: If anyone is interested in playing Capture the Flag at the next meeting (date to be determined, check with me or on the blog) – I will need permission slips. Have your parents write me a letter stating it is ok for you to play.

NEW SERIES BY RICK RIORDAN!!!

ORDER THIS NOW BEFORE IT IS RELEASED TO BOOK STORES!!

I can place an order online through Scholastic to get the book in hardcover before you can buy it in the stores! Woo Hoo!!!
"Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs. "

Movie and other stuff...

Hey CHB'ers!

I apologize for having to miss the movie the other week. As many of you know already, I was hit in my car by a "monster" of some sort. I think he got a "whif" of me through the mist and could sense my demi-god smells. Ugh. The monster came out of nowhere and totaled my car. I did walk away with some slight injuries, but nothing compared to what Percy faced after killing the Minotaur.

Anyways, please post what you thought about the movie! I liked the effects, but thought they left waaaaay too much out from the story! What a bummer!

Few things to take note of:

Meeting this week at The Big House - Room 1209 on Thursday, March 4, 2010
Bring treats if you can!
We will be making posters for our "action figures" and "Barbie dolls" based off of Greek heroes, Gods, Goddesses, and characters from the PJ series.


Be there! You don't want to miss out on this meeting!!!

Things to note: *This is NOT an official field trip sponsored by TKMS *I will not be responsible for driving or picking anyone up. *I cannot pay for everyone so bring some $$$ to cover your cost. *We can go to Steak & Shake afterwards like we did last time. *I am working with the movie theatre people to get us a discounted rate of around $5 for tickets and $3 for a small popcorn and small pop combo. I am TRYING. No guarantees, but I think it should work!!! *Wear your Camp Half Blood shirt if you have one to the movies. If you don't, you can still order one.
