The Christopher Gabriel Program: Wisconsin Office (video)
In the first of what promises to be a compelling four-part video miniseries, you’ll see my return to the old Blog Harbor office, now known as the official Wisconsin office for The Christopher Gabriel Program. We plan on opening up additional offices in London, San Francisco and Bozeman, Montana. And as an added bonus, you’ll [...]
This Week’s CG Column in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead
Every Monday I write a humor column for our daily paper, The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a read. You may laugh… you may chuckle… you may just stare at it. I’m good with any of the three. This week I examine how families often communicate and relate to [...]
Blog Harbor in Wisconsin: 4-Part Video Series Coming
Many of you may recall the compelling video that outlined how Blog Harbor was forced to move from our gorgeous downtown Minneapolis offices to a more cost-effective, albeit pristine, office in rural Wisconsin. This past weekend, after spending Thanksgiving with family, I stopped off at the Blog Harbor offices – newly renamed The Christopher Gabriel Program, Wisconsin Office – [...]
This Week’s CG Column in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead
Every Monday I write a humor column for our daily paper, The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a read. You may laugh… you may chuckle… you may just stare at it. I’m good with any of the three. Some of the pieces were reworked from posts that have been [...]
The Summit League Volleyball Champion is… IPFW?
Arriving at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, I grabbed my media pass and took my seat a few feet behind the baseline at the south end of the court. Looking around, there wasn’t a seat to be had anywhere in the building. Green and gold everywhere as more than 1600 Bison volleyball fanatics came to see a [...]
17 Seconds and a Karaoke Mystery (video)
I’m hearing talk. Lots of talk. But it’s all been very hush-hush: Hints in emails, a cryptic text message, the occasional voicemail, a large envelope… it all centers around a video from the Singing with the Stars event at Divas and Rockstars in West Fargo that, allegedly, exists. I’ll hear a name, a drop point, a [...]
And the Winner Is…
Previously on cgabriel.com (attempting to build drama), I laid out the details of Singing with the Stars at Divas and Rockstars in West Fargo. Nine pairs of singers, each one combining a great local singer with a media “celebrity,” would battle it out in a karaoke competition. The Keys for Winning were very simple: Sing great, or at least [...]
Proud Mary Comes to West Fargo
Anyone who listens to radio here in the Fargo-Moorhead area already knows that the 3rd annual Singing with the Stars karaoke charity event is Saturday night at Divas and Rockstars in West Fargo. The fundraiser is for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Red River Valley. A handful of the very best singers in the F-M [...]
Fans Can’t Have it Both Ways
Watching the World Series play out to its inevitable conclusion – or as Yankees radio broadcaster John Sterling screams in what has to be one of the most dreadful calls in modern sports history, “Yankees Win, THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHE Yankees Win” – I couldn’t help but notice more than a few Twins fans I work alongside visibly [...]
Sports Notes: The View from Fargo
I’ve been asked by more than a few people how life’s been in Fargo as we near the six-month residency benchmark. What they’re really asking is, “How’s your sports habit working out up there?” Just fine, thank you. Here’s the view from Fargo… or as 1940′s WDAY radio broadcasts used to call us, “The Northwest.” As [...]
