The main gunter parzival starts to help himself to become a top notch gunter after finding the copper key, IOI blows up his trailer. Then he goes to colorado where he…

The attendees at Smash Mouth's show at Summerfest showed the band a lot of love on July 5th. The band performed on the Miller Lite Oasis Stage on Sunday night at 10:00pm (Central standard time). Opening with one of their most successful hits "Can't Get Enough of You Baby," was a great way to start the show. The energy throughout the night was pretty high, and even though the three drum solos by Jason Sutter kept the show entertaining- one drum solo would have been good enough. Smash Mouth's…

But in the end, he told Fatima, “I’ll be back,” because he trusted…

rom Dater's Handbook with Brittney Wilson and Lynda Boyd Rachael Leigh Cook was really awesome to work with. She is very warm, funny, and generous, and she’s genuinely interested in the people she’s working with— and that’s not just a hollow show biz platitude. Travis Milne is great too. We’ve remained friends and we might even be roommates in LA pretty soon. Brittney Wilson, whom I married in Dater’s Handbook, is actually my ex-girlfriend and we’re still really good friends. I didn’t spend much…

It is almost as if Cline bases Halliday off himself. Also, the entire novel revolves around 80’s pop culture. It is…
