10th Anniversary Updates!

              I know there hasn't been any plans and the reason behind that is because I am scaling down things a tad bit. I am leaving most of the celebrations to November 14th. It will be a day of fun activities. However November 14th, 2024 will be a very, very long day. However a few things I want to get done prior to November 14th:

- Get a nice banner designed for our 10th Anniversary with the help of Justin.

- Record the 10th Anniversary Podcast with Larry, Justin and I which has been postponed time and time again. 

- Plan out the event, the design, the layout with Larry.

- Food, drinks and snacks

- Double check the guest list and ensure it is the right amount as we do not want to overdo the list. 

- Activities during the event. Music, videos etc. 

- Evening plans with Larry and I as he is staying overnight, we will probably stream, video games and other interactive things with the fans. 

               Again I do not want to overdo things and we will make sure it is done but that is basically the plans that is being made for the big 10th anniversary. The party may be the big part but also the evening will be big as well. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Let's Have a Chat!

              Let me make this clear. I am not trying to sabotage anything. Yes Entertainment Man Podcast lost subscribers but I am slowly climbing back up. People will come and go when it comes to having a YouTube Channel. The views have been there and haters will hate but not letting this get to me... Entertainment Man Podcast has become a pillar of this community. This is why our community is so strong right now. Despite problems in the community with the drama we always bounce back no matter what. But, there is a but, we are no where near sabotaging anything, Far from it. 

              I  have been in this game for almost 19 years now. I may be just under the age of 40 but nowhere near sabotage whatsoever. I have learned a lot from the previous team.. Trust me TVPT (The Video Projects Team) was a mess and I know that being the former Founder and CEO of that group. I had no idea how to run a team but now have a better idea how things run from a business aspect of things and it really has paid off. The views are there and we are closing in on 800k website views and goes to show we have worked extremely hard on this website. Anyways that is the post, I had to rant a bit but all good, not letting haters get to us especially with 10th anniversary now less then 2 months away which I will talk more about on tomorrow's blog post.

As you can notice everything has been moved about, staff removed from our team page and staff added to the team page, to removing podcasts (audio) which is now under On Demand for both podcasts including archives from the website, podcasts and pages. Also we've added on get involved so now YOU guys can get involved and the first thing we've added to the website is collaborating on our blog by posting your own post on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com! Now there will be something for The CBOTW Show next year but all will be revealed in due time! 

               Our Discord Server is deleted and my Discord account is now scheduled to be deleted. I have no purpose for it anymore. I am focusing primarily on the blogs and podcasts moving forward, no more live streams. Those days are now behind us and we want to focus on creating content instead. So we are downsizing for right now. Speaking of that, we have gone ahead and deleted The CBOTW Show from YouTube as we are not ready yet. Also the main YouTube channel is deleted as well. I am doing what's best for the company and when I hit 100 plus followers on Facebook, I promise you guys I will go live weekly but only on Facebook to update and give you guys insight behind the scenes look at everything. Anyways those are all the updates, slowly making progress on the changes and will keep you all up to date by Monday on the progress but have a great weekend and talk to you all on Monday!

Two in One Food Review! [Former Genosha Hotel]

               This was about a week ago we returned to the Genosha Hotel which we had a tour of one of their apartments back in May. Anyways they mentioned a food court is opening and my dad and I took to the downtown core after switching the buses as the bus doesn't go downtown fully anymore as the routes have changed once again.... SMH! So we originally were going to not to grab a bite to eat but the Polish food was too good to say no to whatsoever. I had the sausage on a bun with fried onions and mustard and it wasn't a normal bun but on a baguette so the Polish Sausage was gigantic and filly but boy it was super good. I was very impressed! 30 out of 10 as it exceeded my expectations. My dad had some polish style pizza which also looked really good but on a baguette. 

               Now to part 2. We went for dessert which was ice cream floats and I haven't had an ice cream float since  Halton back in the early 2000's that's a good 10 plus years and it was really excellent. Was worth the money and it wasn't too expensive so it wasn't that bad. Only thing is it ended up overflowing which I wasn't happy about whatsoever but I managed it by stopping and walking. 10 out of 10 it was really good and a nice treat to have for a change. Anyways that is the post for today and I will speak to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Orono Fair 2024

                  On the weekend, I went to the Orono Fair as I always do every year with my dad. It's become a tradition for us to do the fair the weekend after Labor Day. So it was after a very bad rainfall, the track where the tractor pull was so the machine had to flatten enough so they could do the tractor pull. Had a breakdown of one of the tractors and it happens from time to time.  We look at the tractors as you can see in the photo to the right is me in front of a Farmall tractor. 

            We grabbed some food and watched the tractor pull which was awesome to sit back and watch the pull. Always one of the highlights of our visit. Also we visited the animals, chicken, roosters, ducks, Goose and much more. I think the hens, chickens and roosters have been getting a little ruckus with each other so they were in solitary confinement. I got a bit of an inspiration for a podcast for Entertainment Man regarding mental health which will be a cool idea but will see how I want to lay it all out. However that is the post for today, as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!
