Ceiling Fan Contest and Other News

Hey do you like Adventures in Odyssey? Would you like the chance to win numerous cool Odyssey prizes? If so, then head over, and check out the Ceiling Fan's latest fan hijack contest, by clicking here.

 It seems another fan blog has joined the ranks. This one is done by our very own Camilla Parker. It has posts written from her perspective. So far it is really good. If you want to check it out, click here.
There are some blogs from other Odyssey characters, but most of them haven't been updated for a while. If you would like to check them out here are some of them. The most up to date one being Mandy's blog.
Mandy's Blog - Rodney Rathbone's Blog - Rusty Gordon's Blog   - Bart Rathbone's Electric Palace - The Secret Witness

Also, Audry (AIO Insanity) is getting close to her 100th post, to celebrate she plans on having a podcast. Can't wait to see what it sounds like.

Odyssey Connection: When I was younger I loved baseball. I started with t-ball. I was decent, and if I remember right, I even hit a grand slam. But that was t-ball. Once I moved up into baseball, things weren't quite so easy. I wasn't good at baseball, kinda like Davey Holcomb in Whit's Flop. I'd often strike out, drop pop flies, but I did have a good arm. Anyway like Davey learned, everyone has their own talent. Mine is definitely not baseball, although I do play it for fun every now and then. I later learned what my talents are. They include: playing the trumpet, singing, and boy scouts. Davey got discouraged and thought he wasn't good at anything. He later helped Whit invent a pizza oven from the old photo copier, and that oven is still in Whit's End to this day, as far as we know.

That about wraps things up for now. This is Freddy Jay saying "Don't be afraid to comment. We bloggers like fan input."

Some news

Right now the wind is blowing like crazy. So much that I don't think a kite would be able to stay up in it.

I found a new news item on AIO wiki. This is what it says on the AIO wiki homepage under news.(In the mist of the other news)   

"There is a new sampler album coming out in February 2011 called Mystery, it will feature the Jones and Parker Detecive agency, we don't know what episodes will be included yet but when we do, we'll let you know" 

That sounds great! 

Also don't forget, An upcoming Official podcast will feature a Q and A with the actors behind the Parker Family, if you want to submit a question leave it in their comments here. 

Tomorrow "Finish What You....." airs. Whoot!
In other news, Audry from AIO Insanity commented on my last post saying.


"You're right, our little blogger community is getting pretty big! Let's see: AIO Insanity, Campbell County Connection, the AIO fan's life, the Odyssey Way, The Voice of Odyssey and now the Heart of Odyssey! We need a nickname for the not-so-little community! It takes forever to list them all out!"

The list is pretty long, along with the previously mentioned, There's also  Adventures in Odyssey Blog,  The Odyssey Owl, The Whit's End Podcast,    The Odyssey Times, and The Unofficial AIO Podcast. 
So I definitely agree that it takes forever to list them all. I thought maybe The OBC (The Odyssey Blogger community/or committee)...Do you have any suggestions for the "growing community of Odyssey-loving-news-giving-fans-that-give-their-thoughts-on the latest Odyssey news/-and-episodes? Comment here, or on The Odyssey Way.

I think I may have had more to say......but it's storming now... so I think I'm gonna end quickly. This is Freddy Jay saying "It's raining it's pouring the ol man is snoring......."

Album 52! More info.

More information on album 52 Cause and Effect has been released. Part of that info includes that the cover that was shown in various areas is not the final version.  If you would like to read more about it you should check out AIO Insanity, and The Unofficial AIO Podcast. and AIO Wiki.

Mysteries abound in Odyssey as Eugene tries to figure out why the Odyssey clocktower is counting down to a mysterious deadline and Emily Jones unmasks the phantom of the school play. Meanwhile, the crew at Whit's End tries fasting,—with hilarious results—and Wooton tries his hand at a radio show ... with no script! 

Odyssey connection:  On Campbell County we have started elections. Which got me thinking about elections in Odyssey. In the early days Curt ran for president (Student council of course) twice in fact. The first time he made all sorts campaign promises he most definitely couldn't keep (By Any Other Name).  The second time Curt ran against Lucy. Which ended up with Curt playing the smear your opponent's reputation strategy. (It Takes Integrity). Then there's Bart who ran for mayor twice. The first being against Tom Riley (Tom for Mayor Parts I &  Part II) and the second against Margret Faye (The One About Trust, Parts I & Part II). Both failed attempts and run in only the way Bart could do it. Our candidates on CC so far prove to be worthy ones unlike Bart and Curt. It'll be hard to choose when it's time to vote.

That's all for now. This is Freddy Jay saying "Elections are so much fun!"

Rethinking

You know, maybe blogging about AIO isn't my thing, my style....I mean there's a ton of others out there, why not let them do that and I'll come up with something else. Maybe I'll relocate and do something called the Photographers Life. Or Keychain Insanity. Or maybe even The Trumpet Way. I don't think I am needed as an AIO reporter any longer. I hope you enjoyed my posts thus far and if you want the latest news there's always The AIO Fan's Life, The Odyssey Way and AIO Insanity. 
And there's several others on the links page.
I guess that's all forever. This is Freddy Jay saying, " Can't wait to get started on my new blog. Catch ya later."

Oh one more thing. Here is a final tribute to Odyssey. Click here.

That's a 3 18 99

Today I got a surprise. A very pleasant one at that. I ordered album 51 expecting it not to be shipped until April 7th, and also ordered 4 other albums at the same time from somewhere else. Today I got my album 51! (Still waiting for the other four..but this is still G-R-E-A-T-great!) I read that Audry from AIO Insanity got hers today too. I haven't listened to all of them yet, but I plan on it tonight.What I have heard so far is great!

Odyssey Connection:  Saturday night after Winter Jam, we ate at Steak and Shake. Somebody asked me a question, I forget exactly what it was, but it was the perfect opportunity to pull a "Lester". I said "that's a 3 18 99." They said "what?" Then I said "I can't tell you." I said it almost exactly how Lester said it too. It was so funny to me, because those three lines are from the episode No way In and No way out. It was an inside funny because no one else at the table listened to Odyssey...

That's all for now, this is Freddy Jay saying "It's time for Adventures in Odyssey."

The Inspiration Station Part 2

First I'm gonna point out something else on part 1. Towards the end, Eugene, Connie, and Whit are around the Inspiration Station. Then we hear a train-like whistle and Eugene says there's someone at the door. My first thought was that they removed the bell, but in the second part we hear the bell when Eva comes in. So maybe it's a device that alerts them when they are upstairs. Also the security alarm with Eugene's voice was kinda cool.

My Thoughts on Inspiration Station Part 2

The opening scene was very intense. It seemed like something very bad was going to happen.

The conversation with Connie about her experiance in the Inspiration station seemed really heavy..

Mortimer is a very interesting character, and we can assume that he is the person Connie was referring to in Part 1.Is he going to be a one time only character? Or are they gonna somehow bring it back in other episodes..? "That lead to...which lead to..which lead to this and that and there we are!"

We learn of Whits "town clock mistake. "

My favorite part of the whole episode is with the clips of the different people saying how Connie inspires them. Congrats to all the people who made it in, including Audry from AIO Insanity, to find out what she said, click here.

Over all this two part episode was pretty good. I give it a 4/5. It was great, can't wait to hear the rest of the season.

I thought I had an Odyssey connection today...but it seems I forgot it.....so...I guess that's all for now this is Freddy Jay saying "catch ya later."

A little more about me

Well I kinda forgot to do this in my first post...(I got a head of my self...) Anyway, I am a huge Odyssey fan (I'm sure you can figure that out by now.) As for my real name well...that's my little secret, but you can call me Freddy Jay. It's a name I took from Odyssey, and tweaked it just a little. (Freddy C: and changed it to Jay, which is the first letter of my favorite character in Odyssey.)My favorite sites are Campbell County and Odyssey scoop, with Facebook, ToO,and,Whitsend close behind.

Thats not including AIO blogs. theres two others that really stick out to me. The AIO fan's Life and AIO Insanity. Marvin and Audry both are devoted fans to Odyssey, and if you haven't checked them out already, I highly recommend doing so. Heres another blog I found as well its called The Adventures in Odyssey Blog

Odyssey Connection: I almost forgot, I also have two cats and a dog named Abbi which reminds me a lot of the Barclays dog Normal in the episode Pet peeves. When Normal first came to the Barclay residence he chewed up shoes, and whimpered at night, etc. Abbi is pretty much the same way...... she does know some tricks. She knows sit, shake, down, and high five.

Well I think I'm done for now. This is Freddy Jay saying "sit shake, good dog."

Hey Odyssey Fans out there

Hey I'm Freddy Jay, and I'm hitting the blog scene to give you my Odyssey feedback. I will include my feedback about the new episodes that will begin airing in 30 days. Also I may include bits and pieces of info I pick up.
I know that there are great fan blogs out there already, (Such as The unofficial Whits end Podcast, Odyssey insanity, and The AIO fan's life) I figure why not join the fun!

Today in Sociology we watched a clip about the issue on lowering the drinking age to eighteen. Personally I don't think its a good idea....it made me think of the Odyssey episode with the toy chicken. I think if they lowered the drinking age it would just make it easier for younger kids to get a hold of.....And it would just make the drunk driving issue worse.

One more thing before I go. There's an awesome Odyssey message board (not the ToO but that one is great too) Its called Campbell County. There aren't a whole lot of active members right now.....Its growing steadily though.

I will have links on the side later that are great Odyssey sites/blogs.

That's all for now, This is Freddy Jay signing off.
