What happened to the shirts?

Hey friends,

Sorry for taking a break on the #30DaysofStarWarsShirts, but with everything going on in my city (Chicago) right now, I thought I'd put it on the back burner for a while.

It seems like every weekend there is an insane amount of people that are shot or killed and it's really troubling.  I have been sitting up at night wanting to address this situation, but I don't know if this is the right outlet for it.

I realized that we all need to escape our reality from time to time and maybe the #30DaysofStarWarsShirts was a way for some of you to escape the bad news from the day or just look at the day's shirt and think to yourself, "I can't believe this guy has that many Star Wars shirts!"

Well, the shirts will return tomorrow.  I will continue with the challenge and continue showing you all the shirts that I have compiled and give you all an opportunity to vote on your favorite one.

If you follow us on Instagram, you have probably seen the awesome boxes of toys Hasbro has sent us and we will be reviewing them soon.  Along with those toys, we will review a few statues and Hot Toys figures that the Fandads have gotten their geeky hands on.

We know how much you all love giveaways, so we will be doing one sometime soon.

Thanks for being a fan.

Thanks for understanding.

Until next time, thanks for reading.

Angry Birds Go Review and Giveaway!

Just when you thought the Angry Bird franchise is slowing down, something new comes along that takes it in another direction or in this case road.  Angry Birds Go! is the newest app that has the birds racing against the pigs for road supremacy, but it's also a new set of toys that bring the race cars to life.  One of these toy sets is Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack (say that 10 times fast) and the Fandads were given one to try out and share with you our thoughts.

This is not a paid post.  Hasbro has provided Fandads with an Angry Birds Go! game to review and play with for this post.  Our review and opinions are our own.

Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods Review and Giveaway

Earlier this year I confessed that I never played the Angry Bird games and that a Star Wars version came out and that had me a little intrigued.  Well, today I can say that I am addicted to the Star Wars version of the game and I got my little girl addicted to it also.  I just love being able to use my favorite Star Wars characters and destroy structures based on popular locations from the film.  The toys that have come out are another story.  While I haven't bought as many of the sets that have come out, I have bought a few and they are pretty fun to build and destroy.

Now imagine playing with a set and importing the toy in your hand into the game on your tablet and using it to beat the level you are on.  If you think that this idea is crazy, well set your eyes on the new Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods.

Fandads Join the #BigLeagueDads to see the Chicago Cubs.

On Sunday, September 22, Dove Men + Care and MLB invited a few Chicago Dad bloggers to see the Chicago Cubs take on the Atlanta Braves.  While it was not the outcome the Cubs faithful would have liked to have, it was a good day for families to make some memories out at the ballpark.

The Fandads and The Rock...It Could Happen! We are Official #SuperMilkMan Entrants

Thanks to the Life of Dad site we were given a great opportunity to be featured in their "30 Dads, 30 Days" posts earlier this year. Now, again thanks to this site, we are an official entrant in the #SuperMilkMan contest where we can win a trip to hang out with The Rock.  Imagine that: Finally, the Fandads meet the Rock in Chi-caaaa-goooo!!!  Well, I don't know if that's where we're going to meet, but either way, IT DOESN'T MATTER where we meet. Whatever does happen, the Fandads will go one on one with the great one. (Alright, enough catchphrases.)

So what do we have to do to meet The Rock?  We have to make a 10-15 second video on Instagram and post it here, Facebook, Twitter and just spread the word about #SuperMilkMan.  Pretty easy right? The question is can we match the ultimate #SuperMilkMan, The Rock? Remember his commercial during the Big Game? (Trying not to get in trouble by using the actual term)  Here's a reminder:





I think our video can top this. We are just waiting for Zach Synder to finish the storyboards and then it's showtime.  So keep an eye on the space below to witness the awesome that we are creating.  (Man, I'm hyping this up too much.)

Now, we're not going to have all the fun of making a video and leave our readers out.  You can get in on this too.  Here's how: This Thursday, August 15 Noon EST/11am CST, there will be a Twitter Party thrown by Life of Dad (@lifeofdadshow) and co-hosted by @tommyriles @ChrisRoutly @CuteMonsterDad and @DiaryDad. During this twitter party you will have the chance to win one of 5 "The Rock - Milk Prize Packs" (a $98 value).  So if you're on Twitter, Follow us @fandads and @lifeofdadshow and use the hashtag #SuperMilkMan to take part in the party, maybe win a prize, learn more about milk and smell what the Fandads are cooking (sorry, I just had to add that one).
