Titanic Weekend [VIDEO]
This past Saturday marked the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and I was able to attend the Theatre Workshops "Titanic" event that they put on, it was a great time!

Chad: I Survived the Titanic!
April 4, 2012 The biggest film of 1997 is hitting theatres again today. And this time, Titanic will be shown in 3D. I wasn't necessarily interested in the seeing the movie again. I liked it an all the first time, but I don't normally devote 3 hours and 17 minutes to the same thing twice. But, recently, after visiting Titanic Pigeon Forge, I completely changed my tune. After boarding the Titanic and experiencing its wonder myself, I can't wait to step into the theatre and relive one of the greatest tragedies of modern times. Titanic may have hit an iceberg and sunk in the early morning hours of April 15th, 1912, but the ship, her spirit and the memory of her passengers are alive and well. And, I want to take time to honor one of them here at WBKR.com. His name is Alfred Pugh. And, when I visited Titanic a couple of weeks ago, I came to know Alfred very well.
