The call for extras for Oz: The Great and Powerful was this past Saturday at Raleigh Studios in Pontiac, and more than 3,000 people showed up to try and get their fifteen minutes of fame. James Franco, Mila Kunis, and Zach Braff are already attached to the project, and I believe they are still casting as well.

So we've all been there ... that time when you're on an important phone call, and then the call drops. Or even when you need to use the internet on your smartphone, only to realize that you're at your data limit for the month.

National Picnic Month and Applebee's Carside To Go {plus a $25 giveaway!}

I've tried similar programs at different restaurants before, and usually it involves calling in your order (or ordering online) beforehand, and then parking at a specific location at the restaurant to pick up your food.


We decided to bring our food to Heritage Park, in Taylor, MI, so we stopped by the Ecorse Rd. Applebee's location beforehand.

I'm definitely a foodie, so I'll admit that we took a while deciding what we wanted and playing around with different combinations - Applebee's recently sent me a $5 off $25 code for online ordering, too, so we had to spend $25 (pre-tax) to receive that.
