Father’s day is rolling up and I was doing this BBQ thing but seems thats not happening well good thing in New York City there is always something to do… so this Father’s day will be the first time we’re taking kiddo to the ball game!
It’ll be a great family outing on top of wifey, kiddo and I, we’ll be adding papa (my father). This will be the first time for any of us to the new Yankees Stadium, it’ll be the first ball game for the kiddo and I couldnt be more excited.
I’m pretty pumped to be able to offer this next part… Win 2 tickets to the game!This is going to be a very short contest and will require you to be sitting next to us at the game (I’ll apologize now for kiddo tossing anything at you [just be glad your not the person sitting in front of kiddo]) on top of the tickets you’ll also get a Father/Kid sized Yankees Jersey. Overall how could this not be the best father’s day ever… if you dont have a lil kid and want to take a big one thats fine too – when it cames to baseball we’re all kids at heart.

“As the Argentine singer Sofia Rei Koutsovitis led her multinational band… the passion and clarity with which she assayed a tricky mix of South American rhythms and jazz-inflected harmonies made clear why she has been embraced by New York City audiences from Carnegie Hall to the hippest downtown haunts.” – Phil Lutz, New York Times
“…one of the most versatile and in-demand singers on the New York music scene.” – Simon Calle, All About Jazz
“…a potent combination that’s like nothing else around” – Kevin Convey, Boston Herald
Sofia Rei Koutsovitis is one of New York’s most passionate, charismatic and inventive vocalists, who brings depth and fullness of a riveting voice to her second album, “Sube Azul” (World Village/Harmonia Mundi). She also serves as the album’s composer, arranger, lyricist and — with bassist Jorge Roeder — producer. Following up on “Ojalá,” her polyglot and multilingual debut, she offers this time a collection of mostly original Spanish-language songs, building on a new set of growth experiences since moving to New York in 2005.
Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, the album is grounded in traditional South American rhythms such as chacarera, zamba and vidala from Argentina, Afro-peruvian festejo and lando, Afro-Uruguayan candombe, Colombian cumbia and bullerengue and other genres that merge involving jazz harmonies, electronic sounds and rich improvisations. Singing in Spanish, Portuguese or English, Sofia’s voice is graceful as well as sophisticated, tying together diverse influences in a program full of rhythmic complexity, melody and romance.
Sofia is a restless artist, one of the most versatile and in-demand singers on the New York music scene. She has recorded, performed and collaborated with renowned musicians and groups such as Maria Schneider, John Zorn, Bobby McFerrin, Folklore Urbano, John Scofield, Lionel Loueke, Pavel Urkiza (Gema y Pavel), Russ Ferrante (Yellow Jackets), Bob Moses, Aquiles Baez, Samuel Torres Group, Pedrito Martinez, and Avantango. She is also the vocalist of Geoffrey Keezer’s “Aurea,” whose self-titled 2009 release received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album. $15 in advance [Link] / $20 at the door

Being a dad is hard work, being a great dad is even harder work – there is so much juggling going on I feel like I’m in the circus from time to time. Gotta balance the job/family/and your own sanity its a lot to handle. When you think about what dad wants sure he could use a new fancy Kodak Playsport video camera [Amazon] that we can take in the pool with the kids but that’s not enough give him something that he can have on his desk at work like a piece of art work. Give him a TROPHY!
No not one of those silly little league trophies they give to everyone for being a good sport and not quitting the team, when they were benched for the coach’s kid to get some extra playing time. I mean MAN TROPHY! I can already hear the sound of Tim Allen from his home improvement tv show of grrr grrr grrrr 🙂 you know what I’m talking about…
Check out this video – this thing is a beast!
FantasyTrophies.com [Link] was founded by Dave Mitri, nearly 15 years ago, when he sculpted the Armchair Quarterback, for his own fantasy football league, out of his garage in Cleveland, Ohio. He now produces trophies for nearly every fantasy related sport and has moved the operation to a shop in Brooklyn, NY where he continues to produce the highest quality, most original trophies for diehard fantasy sports fanatics.
The giveaway is this incredible trophy!
