What do YOU think is fun?
If the mission of the Lubbock Fun Club is to help families and people FIND THE FUN in Lubbock ... then I want to make sure I know where the fun is!!!!!
To make the picture it's most complete and represent us all collectively, please give a minute of thinking to this and then click here to reply to this question: What do YOU think is fun? What do YOU do when you want to have fun? If you have company visit, what would YOU recommend they do to have some fun!!!

Taking it a step further ...
To get the most complete idea of what you think is fun ... perhaps we should specify two different areas:
1.) What do you do for fun as a grownup?
for date night? with friends?
2.) What do you do with your kids that's fun?
You can click on the link in the above paragraph and include WHATEVER YOU THINK for either.
All input is appreciated.

People needed TODAY (Thursday, Jan 19) to be the
audience in LIVE taping!!!
If you're reading this on Thursday (before 3:30) ... then take note. A national travel company has selected Lubbock as their location for shooting a promotional film and they need business people to be in the audience for the taping which will last about an hour. IF you're free this afternoon ... and IF you CAN ARRIVE by 5:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn on Avenue Q ... then CLICK HERE and let me know so I can make a reservation for you. Feel free to bring a friend or several ... just let me know so we can know how many are coming! They need people in business attire (men in business suits and women in professional dress) ... and the first 25 to make a reservation get a nice gift.
I can't tell you what it is ... but should be well worth your time. What the heck ... it's Thursday. Do something a little different.


Hockey & Iceskating ... is cool for kids and grownups alike!!

Are you a "movie-buff"?
If you're a big movie-goer and like to see movies, perhaps you should give some thought to being a movie "reviewer" for us. The Lubbock Fun Club is looking at the idea of having some "regular folks" give us their opinions of the movies they are seeing.
