MLK Day and Beyond

Well, MLK day has gone and passed but the stories still linger. Sean and his buddy from Pittsburgh drove into Cincy around 1pm on Monday. He was coming into town to do a speech at a banquet in Oak Hills. Some kind of fundraising thing to raise money to put turf on their football field (Oak Hills Public School).

We had a great time. The food and drinks were included. We got to ride in a limo to the bar afterwards and then it took us home. The next day a film crew came to our house to film Sean. That was pretty sweet. I'll probably never have a film crew in my house again. Good thing I looked like crap after drinking all night and hadn't shaved since Friday of last week. There were probably about 15-20 people in our place while they were filming. They were filming a show for American Fighter. Check out this website on what the show is about: http://www.damagewear.com/TV_Show.html.

The show is basically about inspirational stories. People that have overcome the odds. American Fighter is a brand name for UFC. The guy who owns American Fighter (he acutally lives 4 houses down from where I live) is good friends with Rich Franklin, current Middleweight UFC champion. Long story short, a couple of years ago a high school kid got into an accident on a four wheeler. Sean went and visited this kid at the hospital and has kept in touch with him ever since. Rich Franklin also visited and knew the kid so the first episode of the show is going to be based on this kid and his experiences.
