Krillion is not a sci-fi thing. It's an APPLIANCE thing!

The Krillion Localization Engine. It sounds like science fiction. In reality, though, it's appliance fact. You don't use it to teleport. You use it to find the best deals on things like General Electric refrigerators.

The folks at Krillion noticed something. Everyone was doing appliance research online, but most folks were still making their final purchase at a local appliance store. The gap between all of that high-tech homework and the real-world buying experience was too big for their tastes and they decided to do something about it. That something? The aforementioned Krillion Localization Engine.

Here's how it works. You visit the Krillion site and it will help you perfect your appliance-buying research by serving up local information. Now, you can find the right place to buy the right refrigerator at the right price!

Not planning on buying a fridge any time soon? Don't be surprised if you end up changing your tune. Summer temperatures are here and that means our refrigerators are under some pretty intense strain. Summer time spells ruin for many refrigerators and yours could be next! If you do end up in the appliance market, spend some time at Krillion. It's not sci-fi, it's just a very smart way to improve your big-ticket appliance shopping experience!

Brigade Tickets... Wide price range!

Did you know that first row seats on the field at Brigade games have a face value of $110. That's more than the face value for the MOST EXPENSIVE seats at Arrowhead.

Think about that for a second. I'm an AFL fan and everything, but there's something a little weird about Arena tickets being more expensive than Chiefs tickets.

Admittedly, the only people who can get first row, side of the field, Chiefs tickets have been ponying up for season tickets since Municipal stadium, but still... $110 ($120 on the playoff game, by the way) is a wee bit on the high side, don't you think?

On the other hand, the cheapest ticket for a Brigade game is cost-comparable to the cheapest ticket at Kauffman Stadium for a Royals game. So, you can get in VERY cheap...

From under $10 to over $100... That's a wide range!

By the way, I won't be sitting in Row A for the playoff game with Colorado this weekend. This blogger is on a budget!

Another Chance to Punish Elway

Ol' Horseface himself is coming back to KC for some football. This time, though, he won't be wearing the ugly orange of the Broncos while walking along side Rat Shanahan. This time, he's coming as an owner. The Colorado Crush will be playing the Brigade in the first KC AFL playoff game.

Saturday.
2:00 p.m.

A chance for Kansas City to start its march to the Arena Bowl.
A chance to score a new t-shirt.
The last chance to see any pro football in KC until the Dolphins/Chiefs preseason game.
A chance to see John Elway LOSE in Kansas City just one more time...

Lots of reasons to be there, folks! See you on the east side of the hangar!

Go Brigade!!!!

A Great Orlando Vacation Tip

Orlando is known as the Disney city, but there's much more to this family-friendly vacation destination than Mickey and Minnie. This Florida city is home to scores of top-ranked golf courses. It features a world-class convention center. And when it comes to fun for the whole family, Disney is just the tip of a constantly growing iceberg! There's a reason why so many people are flocking to Orlando for their family getaways.

Not only is Orlando an attractive destination, it's also a welcoming one. This is a city that understands travelers and tourists. It bends over backwards to provide guests with a top-notch experience. Orlando vacation villa rentals are a perfect example.

In other cities, you might be limited to seeking accomodations at the usual hotel chains. In Orlando, you can rent a fully-functional and beautiful vacation home to serve as headquarters for your family journey. To make matters even better, these vacation villas are often competitive with generic hotels in terms of price!

When you make your next trip to Orlando, look into the vacation home rentals that are available. You can get more space, more flexibility and more opportunity to enjoy your vacation in one of these outstanding homes.

Coach Kevin Porter's NFL Days...

Before he was at the helm of the Arena Football League's Kansas City Brigade, Kevin Porter was playing football in the NFL.

He was a fixture in the KC Chiefs secondary for six seasons, playing both at cornerback and safety during his years with Big Red.

Porter only managed one interception during his NFL career and shared in only one and a half sacks, but he was talented enough to play in the majority of the team's games in most of the years he was part of the Chiefs roster.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia for you. As a rookie, Coach Porter returned one kickoff. It was the only time in his career he claimed the mantle of return man. He gained sixteen yards on the return.

Porter's NFL career could undoubtedly be characterized as successful, but it's very possible that his greatest football success still awaits him as the Brigade prepares for AFL post-season action. He could add a championship to his resume this season!

I found Porter's numbers here.

Kemper's East Side

I was just checking the Kansas City Brigade's web site and saw an interesting tidbit that I thought was worth relaying. Apparently, the east side of Kemper is "tailgaiting central" before every Brigade game.

I can imagine that grills are churning out some great Kansas City barbecue and that a few adult beverages are being consumed by smiling fans, but what made the situation even more interesting is that this Kemper party has some sponsors, too.

Toyota, Bikers for Babies and Coors Light are all in on the action. The US Army is also involved. They're apparently doing a laser show--which should be a nice warmup to any Brigade game.

Hey, KC, we have a playoff game coming to Kemper. Before the action starts on the field, it might be a good idea to enjoy some pre-game festivities on the east side of Kemper! Think about it.

Go Brigade!
