This weekend I took part in a Project Paintbrush event. PP is a group that will renovate a needy family’s home exterior. There was a big group about 18 people or so working on a back yard fence and it was a ton of fun. I got a little covered in paint but it was totally worth it. We even got free pizza at the end!

Coming up on August 10th there’s another PP event that I’ll be attending and I hope to see you there. Contact Lauren is you wanna come help at: Projectpaintbrush@volunteerlethbridge.com

p.s. I know…I look like an idiot

Virgin Galactic is the not-so-new brainchild of Sir Richard Branson and they are ramping up their promo with a lot of press coverage. The idea of it is to offer Space Tourism which a first sounds like a fun thing that I’m sure everyone would like to try, but then I found out just how much people are paying to be the first to tour space…$200,000!!! Are ya kidding me!?!

This next generation of air/space craft is called White Knight Two…it looks like a normal plane but with 3 cabins. The middle one is the only one that actually gets into space from what I understand. Check it out:

This is just the start of the Quest For The Key to the City of Lethbridge! Together we can make a real difference.

Ok, so yesterday I spoke to the mayor and it turns out you can’t just ask for a Key to The City of Lethbridge, and despite my many attempts at convincing him that my weather reading skills are pretty hard to beat…there was still no go. To get a Key to the city Mayor Bob says you have to be a Community Builder. So I gave it some thought and you know what…for once, I’m going to play by the rules. If it takes a community builder to get a coveted Key To The City…than a Community Builder I shall be.

So from now on, I’m on a Quest. A Quest for a Key to The City. I will be out and about in Southern Alberta working for this community. If there is a Charity event going on and I can attend – I’m there. And I’ll document the entire Quest on my Blog here and on our Facebook group page. I can’t do this alone, I need your help and by joining The Quest for the Key Team together we can do great things. All it takes to be a member of Team Quest is your spare time. If you have spare time there are so many organizations that need our help.

Having a Key To the City would be amazing…but it would be even better if I got to share it with you.

The New Metallica album is coming out in September and we have the track listing! Now before this we were only given working titles of songs and such but this is the real deal. Look below..YES you do see The Unforgiven 3!

“That Was Just Your Life”
“The End Of The Line”
“Broken, Beat & Scarred”
“The Day That Never Comes”
“All Nightmare Long”
“Cyanide”
“The Unforgiven III“
“The Judas Kiss”
“Suicide & Redemption”
“My Apocalypse”

..and it turns out you can’t just ask for a Key To The City. There’s a little more that’s involved with it. But don’t fret…I have a plan - And I will unveil it tomorrow on the show and the best part..it involves you!

Thanks for the support. This isn’t over, if anything it’s just starting and will be something great not just for me but all of Southern Alberta! Keep in the loop by checking back to this blog and the facebook group!

If you missed it, here’s my conversation with Mayor Bob:

Mayor Bob talks to Scott

Scott McGregor - Afternoon Host on Rock 106 in Lethbridge Alberta is campaigning for a Key To The City Of Lethbridge.

Scott hosts the afternoon show on Rock 106 in Lethbridge Alberta. Despite what you’ve heard it’s not just an afternoon show, it’s a movement and a mission towards Hope, Happiness and more Hope within the Lethbridge City Limits. Scott works tirelessly for 4 hours a day with the belief that as long as we have Rock Music and Hope, we have a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.

A Facebook group has been started and will be used as a petition to convince Mayor Bob Tarleck that despite the fact that the Keys To The City have already been given out this year we (he) think(s) he should also get a Key! Not only does the Key hold special powers - like access to a secret tunnel to the West-side of town but it’s a symbol for the service he has provided to the people of Lethbridge over the years as an announcer at Rock 106. Whether he helped you lose 40 pounds, read the weather forecast that got you our of the way of a vicious tornado or just intro-ed a song really really good - Scott McGregor encompasses what it means to be a community leader. Join the most aggressive grass-roots movement to get Scott a Key To the City: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34666398752

E-Mail Mayor Bob Tarleck with your story on how Scott has changed your life for the better! mayor@lethbridge.ca

Call Mayor Bob Tarleck with your tail of struggle and how Scott McGregor saved you from a life of drugs, gangs, and dirty dirty hookers @ 403-320-3823

On Wednesday July 23rd Scott will be taking to Mayor Bob about his Key to The City. Listen Online @ http://www.rock106.ca

If only Stephen Page listened to Scott McGregor’s afternoon show on Rock 106 things might have turned out differently…

This almost actually makes me want to care about the CFL. Almost.

Saw the new Batman Movie. In a word: WOW! Intense doesn’t begin to explain it. First off it’s not a kids movie..at least I don’t think it is. It’s really Dark (no pun intended), long and The Joker played by Heath Ledger is frickin scary. I will say this though, I’m really sad that Heath died more so now than I was before I saw this movie because I never really knew what an insanely great actor he really was.

One another thing…am I the only one who thinks Christian Bale’s “Batman Voice” is lame? I don’t remember any of the other Batmans suddenly getting Raspy Voice Syndrome as soon as they strapped on “The Bat-Suit”. Maybe the utility belt is too tight..
